PHUKET: Eight of Phuket's 10 police stations will have new superintendents within 48 hours in the most sweeping changes at the top of the island's police force in recent memory.
Greater enforcement of all laws is expected to be the result. Only two Phuket stations - Kamala and Tachatchai - retain their present superintendents.
