Marcus Haavik, a 26-year-old from Norway, is currently detained at Phuket International Airport because a page is missing from his passport, a situation he was unaware of prior to his travel. He and his friend, Jesper Lindberg, had just arrived in Thailand excited for a week's vacation after their master's studies. Unfortunately, at passport control, officials discovered the passport issue and deemed it unacceptable for entry, leading to Marcus's detention.

The circumstances surrounding the missing passport page remain unclear, and Marcus expressed confusion and frustration, stating he had never noticed any problem with his passport before. While detained, he has received minimal information about his situation and is responsible for covering the costs of his food and drink while he awaits resolution. His friend Jesper, who is also on holiday, is now navigating the trip alone after the abrupt turn of events.

Additionally, there seems to be a lack of assistance from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry and the airline concerning Marcus's predicament, as they have not commented on the situation. This incident sheds light on the potential risks of international travel, particularly the importance of ensuring travel documents are in proper order, and raises questions about the support available to travelers facing similar issues abroad.
