PHUKET: New Governor Nisit Jansomwong made it plain to local authorities on Phuket yesterday that he will take responsibility for the island's key issues.
He nominated the three most important Phuket problems as beach arrangements, taxis and traffic. Special investigation teams will look at each of the issues, he said.
The new governor has already talked to the new commander of police and Phuket's district chiefs and made it plain that he is assuming responsibility for coordinating activities and declaring policy.
Governor Nisit spoke after returning from a meeting in Bangkok. Tomorrow he will greet the Minister for Tourism and Sport, Kobkan Wattanawarangkul, on her first visit to Phuket after Cabinet meets in Bangkok today.
It's believed that martial law is likely to continue for now with the Asian Beach Games scheduled for November 14-23.
Governor Nisit said yesterday that he was keen for Phuket people to welcome the competitors from 47 countries and their fellow visitors.
The games will be followed by the tenth anniversary of the Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, with ambassadors from many countries awaiting information about how Thailand plans to mark the occasion.
