Krabi’s deputy governor apologizes for derogatory comment about Phuket

 

 

The deputy governor of Thailand’s Krabi province has offered a public apology to the people of Phuket for his derogatory and unproven claim that they had spread coronavirus to his province.

 

Mr. Somkuan Khan-ngern told the media today that it was a thoughtless accusation, made during an inspection of screening checkpoint in Ao Nang district of Krabi yesterday. He said he had no intention to offend the people of Phuket.

Mr. Somkuan had also reportedly refused to allow people from Phuket to enter Krabi.

We travelled to Nakhon si Tammarat, as all resorts are open here (really!), and were asked almost everywhere whether we came from Phuket. The locals are scared and want nothing to do with anything coming from Phuket.
