WALKING back to happiness . . . Phuket has buried its awful overhead lines on Thalang Road at last. Phuketwan roadtested the lighting last night, and it looks really good.
On Sunday, December 27, locals will celebrate with the fourth annual Local Life Festival, an afternoon and evening walking street that provides great food and the chance this year to see how good everything looks without posts.
The event also covers Soi Romanee, where the poles have been gone for quite a while now. More removals are planned in the Old Phuket Town area, which should make the Sino-Portuguese part of Phuket more appealing to tourists.
The fun won't stop there. A jazz festival will be held once a month, on the last Sunday of the month.
