PHUKET: Governor Nisit Jansomwong, in his last ''meet the media'' conference today, said that on September 10 he signed off on a new rule for Phuket that makes it obligatory for all local municipal authorities to make sure canals and water runoffs are not obstructed when approval is given for new projects. Blocked water paths are said to be the cause of Patong's chronic flooding.

Next thing we know he'll be urging water conservation and safe driving... Next!! Posted by Sam Wilko on September 28, 2015 16:53 |

What about a rule, that blocked anti-flood runoffs have to be unblocked immediately? Or is that rocket science?
