rooster59 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 First priority is to beautify Phuket, says Gov Norraphat Kongleaphy Keam New Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong told the press that wants cleanliness to be a continuous battle and not just a one-off occurrence. Photo: Phuket PR PHUKET: Newly-appointed Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong says his first priority is to beautify Phuket.Earlier this week, the governor held his first ‘media meet’ since his arrival on the island on April 10, to lay out his plans for Phuket.On April 4, ex-Phuket Governor Chokchai Dejamornthan was transferred out after six months on the job, with Gov Norraphat – previously Provincial Management Adviser at the Office of the Permanent Secretary of Interior – being named as his successor (story here).This project was named by the governor as "Beautiful Phuket by our Hands" or Phuket Suay Duay Mue Rao.“Cleanliness is the very first impression we present to anyone – we must ensure that Phuket is always clean so that we remain in line with our image as a world class tourist destination,” said Gov Norraphat.

jaiyen Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Phuket is not and never will be a world class tourist destination, in the true sense, unless he means a low class tourist destination. It is now and will always be over crowded, over priced, dangerous and dirty. There are a few lovely places I know on the island but they are being discovered by tourists now.

clockman Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot. You don't know what you have till it is gone. Thanks Joni Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Remember when a previous Governor did this by having Palmyra Palms planted the length of Thepkassatri Road? There must be about ten left but it was a lucrative contract for a friend I'll bet. Beautify the island by clearing up traffic and parking issues- another soundbite presentation with little substance. Lets not address the main issues in case it upsets 'influential people'.

the guest Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Forget it, Phuket is too developed and has lost its magic. In the next few years, you will struggle to find any countryside left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
