Jeffr2 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 One big reason I quit visiting Phuket. Dodgy taxi and tuk tuk drivers. Been confronted one too many times. Time to implement a good mass transit system and get these dodgy people away from the tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 “The cable car may generate up to B150bn within five years after it opens for service." That's 82 million baht a day! It's either going to be very expensive or they're expecting hundreds of thousands of visitors every day! I know they're looking to attract higher spending tourists (again!) but.........! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
