According to the photo he also gets 100,000 baths.

And speaking of photos, you can find a photo of the article's subject if you keep looking. It's kinda lame though.

Spiny lobsters don't have claws anyway,well tiny little ones.

"a gender-neutral child spiny lobster " this must be a joke,

a 100,000 THB joke.

Uhhh, really? A mutated lobster is suitable to represent Phuket? 

 

I wonder what it looks like. I would have thought this announcement would be the perfect time to show the world Phuket's strange-sounding new mascot.

Did it's claws get cut off by a jet ski?

And is the other a spiny little clawless lobster turd ?
