spidermike007 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Technically, the provincial status changed a year or so ago. Now, Samui has much more autonomy, and is not as dependant on Surat Thani, who in the past robbed Samui blind. Now, alot of the funds that come to Samui, stay in Samui. Though you would not see it with the infrastructure. There has been some improvement to the roads, but I suspect alot of the funds are going into a retirement account for the mayor. Especially, now that the 60 some odd posts of tambon council heads has been abolished, I imagine more money is flowing to him than ever before. Let's see if he has the good sense to dole out a good portion of it to public works projects, or just decided to keep most of it for his own personal fortune.
