Thai Prime Minister Discusses Urgent Tourism Infrastructure Issues on Koh Larn

[snoop1130]

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin visited Koh Larn, a popular tourist spot in the Chonburi province, to discuss the ongoing issues of tourist safety, hospital readiness, and waste management. These are largely due to the immense pressure from the over half a million people who visit the island every month.

 

In a meeting with local authorities, including the Mayor of Pattaya, the Prime Minister urged for immediate steps to improve tourist safety and increase hospital capacities to respond effectively during emergencies. He also urged for proper waste management strategies to avoid accumulation issues similar to those experienced on Koh Samui in the South.

 

Furthermore, the Prime Minister's trip includes more visits around Chonburi and Rayong provinces. This is all part of his efforts to advance the development of the Eastern Economic Corridor. He has also planned for a briefing at the U-Tapao International Airport in Rayong on commercial developments and the potential for a Formula One racing route at Phra Tamnak Hill.

 

Additionally, Thavisin will check on the third phase of the Laem Chabang Port Development Project in the Si Racha district and discuss ways to improve regional development and investment.

Lots of urging but nothing concrete achieved, all huff and puff and no substance as usual.

So the island should be generating enough funds to increase the infrastructure.. if not where is the revenue going?

I wonder if he asked anyone  - "Who gave you permission to cut down all those trees and build on that land ?"

Srettha has been and had a look and made some suggestions to underlings, so that's that sorted. Onto the next problem.
