There are plans to upgrade Phuket’s Chalong Pier, making it the island’s fourth “smart” pier, alongside Ao Po, to the north, Panwa Pier, on the east coast, and Rassada Pier in Phuket Town. At the time it was opened, Ao Po became Thailand’s first smart pier.

 

The Phuket regional marine office has confirmed that the privately-run Chalong Pier will become the fourth “smart” pier in the province, helping to improve visitor experiences. Digital solutions offered at smart piers aim to improve tourism service standards and boost tourist confidence.

 

Officer director Nachapong Pranit says marine authorities will work with relevant agencies on the project, including the Digital Economy Promotion Agency. The cost of the upgrade project is expected to be around 60 million baht. He adds that his office will also cooperate with the operators of piers run by state agencies and other privately-run piers in order to improve services and safety.
