PHUKET: Chalong Mayor Samran Jindapol will hand out five tons of free mangosteen to the public tomorrow (July 28) as a gesture of goodwill.

 

The mayor told The Phuket News this week, “I knew that the mangosteen is low cost at the moment, from B5-8 per kilogram in Phang Nga province. I felt sorry for them. I wanted to help them. So I bought five tons of mangosteen from them.”

 

The mangosteen will be handed out from 7:30am at Suk Samran fresh market near Country Home in Chalong (see map below). Both Thais and foreigners are welcome, but there will be a limit of three kilograms per person and the mayor has kindly asked that the fruit is not sold on.
