Phuket Explorer

[MickyJames]

Anyone know what's happening with the Phuket Explorer site in Cherng Telay? Or should that be what's not happening. Must be years since that site was cleared yet they only ever got as far as the concrete road. Looks more overgrown now than ever.What gives?

I read some time ago that it was to be relaunched at 'Oydyssy' (spelling) or something in October

its a shame when derelict properties blight the landscape

I don't think we are talking about the same thing.

I was referring to the huge area of land on the left hand side as you travel from Cherngtelay police station toward Laguna. It was supposed to be a large retail/residential site called Explorer.

Located on 57 rai which transacted in March of this year, the site is where the former Explorer development was located. Back of the project is the team from the La Colline estate in Layan.

When you mentioned derelict properties I assumed you were talking about something else as the explorer site has never been built on.

Thanks for that. Maybe something will start there one day then.
