The feasibility for the controversial tunnel project from Kathu to Patong was presented by engineering consultants at a meeting at Royal Phuket City Hotel this week. The six billion baht project includes two one-way tunnels, each 1,600 metres long.

After a busy Songkran (new year in Thailand), tourism chiefs in Phuket have been doing their sums to assess just how successful the festive season was.

If you've ever been to Phuket in Thailand during Songkran you'll know, if you want to stay dry, you will have to barricade yourself in your hotel room for the next three days.
