PHUKET: -- Construction of the B450 million new Phuket Provincial Hall is 65% complete and expected to become home to the provincial seat of power by November, Phuket Governor Chokchai Dejamornthan has said.

 

“Painting of the exterior in blue is about 40% done and the roof tiles are already there,” Gov Chokchai said.

 

The original deadline for completion was May, 2017, Gov Chockchai noted. “But this could not be achieved because there were changes to original plans. We hope this project will be finished by November,” he said.

Nothing, nothing, ever gets finished on time in Phuket, always lots of BS excuses only...planning and organizational skills are as easily found as fresh snow.

Completing projects on time, falls under Thai time, 

which easily translate to slow & slower, 

if the customer complains.

 

Nothing can be done, so all we can do is learn to live & let live, 

as they were...

 

I was viewing the article hoping to see some designs of the new building, 

to support the subject title...guess there isn't one?

Perhaps they were not allowed to take pics of the building as perhaps it is NOT in fact 65% complete, as claimed?  I wonder if it is on budget....if here was one?

Hmmm woman busy with cement in construction job in mine country its more of a male job,
