PHUKET: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his Cabinet have struck gold with not one, but two no-brainers this past week with their declaration of the slew of projects to support tourism development throughout the Andaman provinces, including Phuket.

 

The esteemed leaders on Tuesday (Nov 16) “approving” Phuket to bid to host a health and wellness World Specialized Expo in 2028 on behalf of the Andaman region comes across as very gracious, yet the government will hardly have to lift a finger to see the bid put through. All the heavy lifting will be done by the key tourism and industry leaders on the island.

 

All the government needs to do in support is to, first, make sure the country remains open in the run-up to and during the event period, and second, make sure the lights are on and the internet is working. Other than giving the roads another very expensive lick of asphalt, government agencies will have nothing else to do but follow the private sector’s strong suggestions and stand in front of cameras to look good. That last part must nearly be natural by now.

From link ;  It’s not as if Phuket people are just going to forget that in the roll-out of the government’s great assistance schemes throughout the pandemic, Phuket was never declared a ‘Red’ province, meaning that none of the people or business operators were eligible for most the assistance schemes being promoted as “helping the people”. It is not odd that point was never mentioned in the Cabinet meeting debriefing.

 

Probably as they were too busy clapping themselves on the back for covering up their failure to protect and support the people during covid with yet more bravado (Bravado used as a farm animal brown substitute)
