Internet Chaos in Thailand/Asia Saturday Jan 13, 2007

The Asian internet is in chaos! Repair works at the Taiwan broken internet cables and insane internet re-routing makes life hard for internet users in Asia today.

Many users are experiencing connection problems to the outside world. Thaivisa is hosted in Singapore and is also affected by this chaos. We can do nothing for the moment but wait!

If you cant connect to the Forum and are suffering from Thaivisa withdrawals, you can post comments here on this Thaivisa Emergency blog!

Dear thaivisa members,

We will do a short maintenance on our server today, Sunday. The maintenance window is between 18.00 - 20.00 Bangkok time (that's 11.00 until 13.00 GMT ).

The total downtime is expected to be around one hour within that window.

We will upgrade our system to a new versions of MySQL and PHP and do some system tweaks to improve page load speed.

Thanks for your patience.

Scheduled Forum Downtime Saturday Dec 9, 2006 From 19.00

Dear Thaivisa Forum member,


We are upgrading Thaivisa.com forum software this evening December 9, 2006. We will also do a scheduled maintenance on the server (power supply and hardware).

The forum might be "read-only" or down from time to time in a window between 19.00 and 22.00 (Bangkok time, GMT +7). Several error messages could appear during software upgrades and database optimization.

The total downtime will be approx. 1 - 1.5 hours.

In the mean time, you are welcome to post a comment below, or share your experience with the upgrade.

Thanks for your patience!

Kind regards,

Problems to reach our new server?

Thaivisa.com is moving to a new server on August 5-7, 2006

Do you get "Server not found"?

Dear Forum member,

We are moving Thaivisa.com to a new dedicated server this weekend.

The server move is not a complicated thing, but considering the fact that the Thaivisa Forum is a very traffic intensive site, it's a delicate problem to move the forum and database and keep it in sync. We need to take down the system for a few hours while transferring the data to the new system. The system will be "read-only" during this process.

Users from different parts of the world should be able to re-login to the new server within an hour or two.

Users accessing from a Thai ISP (Internet Service Provider) could experience error messages such as "Server not found". This is completely out of our control, as most Thai ISP's are caching their DNS. It can take from a few hours to a few days. There is no way for us to rush the ISP's to obtain fresh DNS data.

Please be patient, and if you are experiencing problems, please be assured that we are doing our best to have you all online again.

You are welcome to post a comment below, or share your expeience with the move. You can be anonymous. Please indicate from what country or ISP you are accessing from. We will do everything we can to help you out!

Kind regards,
