bluesofa Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 "Under the order, preservation of life and property are to be given top priority, while the media “is to be told the truth” about tourism issues." Who's version of the 'truth' might this be? “Regarding the tourism industry, Gen Chatchai has ordered that Phuket province must push this concept to become a reality as fast as possible,” Gov Phakaphong said. “Phuket tourism must have a reliable image. All officials must concentrate on providing the truth to the public as this affects the coming to Phuket, and the number of tourists coming to the country. Also, this information must be correct information,” he added. “Simply, the media will lead tourists and people to understand the facts easier,” Gov Phakaphong said. ???????????? Ah, the media will lead the people by the nose to understand the government's version "correct information" and "the facts." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will never happen. As guys like that are so full of shit themselves, they'd be instantly camouflaged in the garbage, adding to the total. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300sd Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Perfect. The marine environment will be extremely safe after implementing this regulation. There will not be a vessel or captain on the water for years to come. Save a lot of lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Isn't it shocking that people in this position have to order people in those positions to do their jobs safely? Good God, what an absolute joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. I wonder whether one reason for the lack of action is because even the mid level officials are frightened to 're-organize' anything / everything to do with tourist safety because it might interfere with the 'internal' gravy train? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadgw Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 For starters get rid of 90% of vessels now used.... naaa lets go 100%.... lets "control alt delete"....... START AGAIN with new build 2018/2019 vessels for tourists and take it from there and then you may have a chance of a professional fleet for tourists.

Deli Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Phuket should rather start with taking the tuk tuks off the roads. This definitely would be a huge step ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point and I wonder if anybody / any position of appropriate authority has even got a roadmap (seamap) of all the above points and any action plans?
