Phuket’s international convention centre supported by new PM

[webfact]

 

Phuket’s stalled international convention centre project might see new life with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin‘s promise to revisit it for local economic stimulation.

 

During a recent visit to Phuket and Phangnga, PM Srettha engaged local tourism representatives, acknowledging their suggestions. Thaneth Tantipiriyakij, President of the Phuket Tourist Association, is confident the prime minister and Pheu Thai Tourism committee will seriously consider an international convention centre proposal at Mai Khao Beach.

 

Plans for the convention centre were halted as Vachira Phuket Hospital opted for a 1.4 billion baht health and wellness centre. Originally meant for the Phuket Specialized Expo 2028, the province couldn’t secure the bid.
