PHUKET:-- Phuket Governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada, who will leave Phuket to take up the post of Governor of Nakhon Sri Thammarat Province on October 1, has vowed to return.

 

“It is time for me to go to Nakhon Sri Thammarat. I will leave Phuket on September 30 to start work there on October 1. I will miss you all,” Governor Chamroen, a Phuket native who has served as Governor of Phuket since October 1 last year, told the press today (Sept 14).

 

“I have done the best as I can for people. Thank you for everyone for your support,” Gov Chamroen said.

 

Gov Chamroen repeated that he has a list of projects, including the Patong Tunnel project, that he wants to voice his support for directly with Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha during the Prime Minister’s visit to Phuket on Friday.

 

“I especially want to raise transportation and highway projects, as the road from Pa Khlok to Heroines Monument and a new road from Chalong to Patong,” he said.

“I would like to see these projects be approved. I will speak with the Prime Minister about it on Friday,” he assured.

 

Gov Chamroen identified the clearing of Surin Beach as his prime achievement while in office as Governor. “Surin Beach is at the top of my list of successes, as it has been transformed into a public area for the people,” he said.

“Surin Beach is at the top of my list of successes, as it has been transformed into a public area for the people,” he said.

 

Well, that's one way to put it.

 

Another way would be to say that it has been transformed from a rather nice spot into a place littered with rubble and general debris that no tourist in their right mind would want to visit now.

 

Hopefully Nakhorn Si Thammarat will not suffer quite as badly from their new governor's "successes".

Iam going to miss the money trough!

A bit of brown nosing for the PM and then some self praise for questionable achievements and then off he goes to another jurisdiction. Just another recycling process of snouts and and trotters and troughs.

“Surin Beach is at the top of my list of successes......."

 

<deleted>, aim a lot higher should you get another chance at the trough.

Surin Beach is totally the result of the actions by PM Prayuth. The actually demolition took place under this guy, but little else. I don't see this guy accomplishing anything in the last year. Business as usual. No results. 

He definitely failed to make a tangible impression but stand  by for 'my visions for the future' and other complete fluff from the new gadger. Completely ineffectual position and very little if anything is ever achieved.

He forgot to mention the completion of the Samkong Underpass in his achievements list.

 

Never mind, maybe the Governor after next may be able to claim that one.

Yep, you can not move an inch for all the people visiting Surin beach, there is that many that a lot have decided to stop going to what was once a fantastic hang out, ahh LOS

I think he tried really hard but did not have enough power and influence to change anything in just the one year.
