I reckon those numbers are Thais returning internationally via Phuket.

Its still very, quiet around Naithon Beach, really quiet. Bang Tao seems to have more bodies ... I seem to be hearing more Russian, Danish, Swedish and other Euro language and accents there of late. 

Escaping the upcoming winter, conscription, and the bombing.

Immigration has no idea how many people visited Phuket, and shouldn't be speaking on the matter. All they know is how many passengers landed on the island on international flights or via marine vessels from abroad, which is a completely different statistic.
