Seems eminently reasonable....it would perhaps be harsh if the places were full of tourists....but governments should always priorities the needs of the poor and local people over those of large businesses and developers.

The  incompetence of officials running the district is outstanding. 2nd richest province and it still can't supply it's people with the basics

Yes, agree to a large extend.

 

However IMO all these enterprises should, as a requirement for licensing, be water independent. And a place like a water park connected to the mains, I surely hope not.

There is no water shortage situation in Phuket yet - Phuket Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana at the meeting at Phuket Provincial Hall.

Shouldn't that statement be considered "fake news" and the Governor subjected to the fullest extent of the law regarding fake news? Or are government officials exempt from what the NLA has imposed on the People?
