PHUKET: An upgraded road should be built extending from Patong to TriTrang Beach and beyond to cater for 2000 rooms expected in the area as three billion or four billion baht is spent on new resorts, Patong Municipal Council has been told.
Patong Mayor Pian Keesin said the new road would enable easier access and provide an exit in the case of another tsunami like the one in December, 2004.
He said the road was being proposed to take account of planned developments at Freedom Beach, Paradise Beach and TriTrang Beach.
Because the road would go through existing national park, an initial research project would be undertaken at a cost of four million baht, he said.
A decision to proceed with the road would have to pass an Environmental Impact Assessment.

Why are there so many vacant rooms, shop houses and other accommodations seen around the island? AND they want to build more? Wow I must be daft, but the building business must be thriving, not so much thriving in the occupancy numbers mind you. Now who is the thick one?
