PHUKET: Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan at a meeting in Phuket this morning (Nov 2) ordered the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) to investigate and expedite projects to resolve Phuket’s recurring water shortage crisis, including to instigate progress in the much-delayed mains supply pipeline from Phang Nga.

 

Present to receive the order was ONWR Secretary-General Somkiat Prajamwong, who strongly supported the move to resolve the water shortages. Also present was Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew and government spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat.

 

Deputy PM Prawit this morning was brought up to speed on the recurring issue of Phuket running out of mains supply water that leaves residents in certain areas, notably the poor neighbourhood in Soi Kingkaew, Rassada, without tap water for months.

Only reason Prawit gave such an order is, so when he gets caught short on 1 of his visits to Phuket, there is sufficient water to flush the loo.????

We are yet to see a time line for his marvelous awaking , he should start thinking about winding some of his watches!

For a country that has known peace since 1945, this is rather embarrassing.

Yes, but not tap water.
