PHUKET: The Phuket office of the Ministry of Commerce has launched a scheme whereby a series of mobile buses will visit over 120 areas across the island to sell household necessities and consumer products at reduced prices.

 

The scheme, the Mobile Commerce Bus service, launched this morning (Aug 9) in front of Provincial Hall and was presided over by Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew and Phuket Commerce Office Chief Premmanee Subchokchai.

 

“In line with the policy of the Ministry of Commerce, the mobile bus project will sell products at specially reduced prices to help boost the grassroot economy while reducing the need for people to have to go shopping,” Ms Premmanee said.

???? what

They exist here since cars exist...

so stupid "news"

 

 

Noticed one of the 'buses' outside Karon municipality building this morning after 08.00. All gov workers crowded about it. These folks never suffered any salary losses.

 

Wife tells me the prices not really reduced from market prices.

I don't wish to be pedantic, ( well I do really), but isn't a "mobile bus service" tautology?
