Gulfsailor Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Latest Update; 61 boxes counted. I think only 1 box to go, so below result is pretty much final. Candidate 1; 12,679 Candidate 2; 13,848 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfsailor Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Update; 62 boxes. I guess that makes it the final result Candidate 1; 12,819 Candidate 2; 14,138 The incumbent mayor has won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfsailor Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 My bad. Miscounted ballot boxes. I think there are 69 ballot boxes. Latest update after 68; Candidate 1; 14,090 Candidate 2; 16,019 Statistically I have to give this one to the incumbent. Quite a large turnout!

notmyself Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 That was very kind of you to provide the updates. Things have improved over the last number of years though these main improvments to infrastructure have happened after very serious incidents, I'll put it down to coincidence. One thing for sure, after that last big floods in '99 or was it 2000, nothing was done at all. Also, I'm nut sure if there are less powercuts now than there were 12 years ago but they are certainly fixed quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfsailor Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Anyone know what the exct finaicials are per year for the mayor ? Salary of a mayor depends on the budget of the town. Ranges from 14,000 a month for smallest towns, to 75,000 for large cities. Based on the little money that reaches Samui, I dare to guess that the mayor wouldn't be a lot higher than 14,000 baht per month (so he doesn't pay income tax, hahaha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
