PHUKET: No roads, not even the Chalong Underpass, will be closed during Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s visit to Phuket on Monday (July 8), Phuket City Police and the Highways Office have confirmed.
 

PM Prayut will preside over the official opening of the Chalong Underpass from 10am to 10:30am on Monday.

 

The 350-metre long underpass, a B546mn-budget project more than three years and 11 months in the making, opened to traffic between May 31 and June 3 this year. (See story here.)

Woo Hoo

Something's wrong in that picture... all the m/cycle riders are wearing helmets.

If the grand opening can be performed remotely, why doesn't Prayut send one of his famous cardboard cut-outs and just press a button from Bangkok?

At Chalong circle, yes, everyone.

In general the number of people wearing helmets has increased tremendously over the years.
