Chalong – The Phuket Provincial Administration Organization (OrBorJor) is planning to renovate Chalong Pier, south of Phuket, including adding an AI (Artificial Intelligence) system and adding 120 more CCTV cameras.

 

The Phuket Provincial Administration Deputy Chief Mr. Thiwat Sridokbua told the Phuket Express, “We are planning to renovate Chalong Pier in order to improve service and safety for tourists.

 

This will be a big change for the pier. We want to turn the pier into the busiest marine tourism pier in Phuket. The renovation might take at least two years.”

This is probably a very silly question with an obvious answer but what is the AI going to be doing?

Unless they sort out the chaotic and inadequate parking, access roads etc it'll be a waste of money.

The pier is in one of the main safe all year berths in the Phuket area which attracts a lot of normal and possibly nefarious traffic.

It also has an Immigration, Customs and Marine Department located at the end of the pier where a lot of international yachts check-in.

 

Boat people eg Rohingyas have been found landing in Chalong bay.

 

The AI system will no doubt improve safety and security.

Presumably the artificial intelligence is to fill the void due to lack of common sense in the local Administration?
