PHUKET: Phuket is to gain a new governor from next month, Cabinet decided today. He is Jamleran Tipayapongtada, a former vice governor of the island where he was born.
He is the man responsible for Phuketwan's motto, "Brave enough to change."
Then Vice Governor Jamleran delivered the quote in tackling Phuket's problems back in 2013.
He told the Mayor of Karon: ''Are you brave enough to try to fix this problem here? Are you brave enough to change?''
The answer has yet to be delivered.
Nevertheless, Phuketwan liked the sentiment so much that we adopted it as our motto, replacing ''Sweet Phuket Every Day.''
The crusade continues.
Vice governor Jamleran did have some success, clearing Kata beach from night restaurants. It is believed he may be the man whose job it becomes to decide the future of all of Phuket's beaches.
He has been vice governor of Nakohon Pathom province since late last year.
Governor Nisit Jansomwong is moving to Nonthaburi province, close to Bangkok, after one year in the Phuket role. His transfer was part of the twice-yearly movement of governors and other officials around Thaiand.
