With the wide range of comments and views which people, especially on this forum, make from good, bad and other about Phuket and Patong in particular, with Patong's mayor-elect, Chalermluck Kebsap coming into office most likely May 26 (upon the Election Commission's approval/confirmation), what constructive realistic and thoughtful advice would you give her?

Ms. Chalermluck's words of "to use persuasion" to solve Phuket problems are the early headline of her new role. She has said she is already meeting informally with public and private sectors. In the off-chance her or her staff take a look at this forum post for some advice from the Thai Visa Forum's Phuket community, lets try to send some good, constructive and real advice to wish her well on the new challenge to help to improve Phuket for the better.

Please, Lord Mayor, always wear makeup.
