Anyone else notice the south side of the Big Buddha site has had a big land slide? That south lookout must be close to going over. I wish I had a better camera but this is the best my phone can muster.

Yes, well done Hans.

"Suporn Wanitchakul, President of the Creation Committee of the Phraphutthamingmongkhol Sattha 45 Foundation said he was unaware of the landslide until The Phuket News contacted him yesterday (October 8).

I must thank The Phuket News because I knew only about the land slide [on the north side] on October 5, which has already been cleared up.”

The slide was spotted by a Kata resident, who posted a photograph of it on the ThaiVisa Phuket forum under the username Hans Gruber.

“After The Phuket News told me about [the slide on the south side] and I saw the photograph, I contacted the Royal Forestry Department and the Phuket Land Development Department and they are supplying takien trees, vetiver grass and geogrid soil reinforcement. We started work on stabilising the top of the landslide yesterday [October 8]."

No worries. They'll research, conclude the building was illegal. So more research with more buildings illegal. A few will be ordered to be demolished, which will never happen, others will pay and all is ok again.
