PHUKET:-- The contractor responsible for the four-kilometre-long section of Thepkrasattri Rd that is being resurfaced – and has caused dozens of motorbike accidents resulting in injuries – has been ordered to make the road safer and to expedite the roadworks.

 

Phuket Vice Governor Prakob Wongmaneerung gave the order at a special meeting held yesterday (Nov 25), explained a report by the Phuket office of the Public Relations Department.

 

At the meeting it was revealed that 36 people had reported being in accidents along the section of road undergoing repairs.

Hard to differentiate between rider/driver incompetence when not driving according to the road conditions versus construction issues. 

Again and again...

Phuket ... a once beautiful paradise Island now lost forever. 

 

Many of my friends used to visit Phuket but not any more, put off by the pollution, the terrible traffic which makes it impossible to get round the Island (unless you enjoy traffic jams) and the pure over commercialization of the place which has destroyed the once tranquil Island. 

 

Phuket is a prime example of what happens when greed and mismanagement take hold.

 

Search for recommended Asia Pacific Islands and Phuket is no longer on the list. It doesn't take rocket science to realize that quality tourists are going elsewhere, can you blame them?
