Does he not realize there is a huge floating white elephant in Kathu

The never ending brilliant ideas that constantly fail coming from the brilliant local government. A Saturday only "floating market"  to support tourism as well as to generate local income. Relevant government offices will be responsible for developing this area. Ah that should work! Just give the money away as this idea will sink way before it ever floats. Has there ever been a floating market in Phuket? No. But it must sound good to someone, right up there with issuing tourists SIM cards to track them. Oh better yet wrist bands to track them...

I used the word brilliant at least two too many times!

Does he not realize that without any proper public transport system the island of Phuket has become a "white elephant?"
