Phuket Economy to Suffer Unless Government Acts

By Alan Morison
Saturday, January 2, 2010
Phuketwan News Analysis/Opinion

FIRM and speedy Government action is probably the only way that some
of Phuket's long-standing internal cancers can be successfully
treated.

Phuket, still a beautiful island with many attributes, needs a clean
bill of health to function to its full potential in a new era of
transparency and trust.

Yet Phuket begins the second decade of the 21st century beneath the
weight of the massive handicap of an outdated economy that rides on
rip-offs and greed.

Asked by Phuketwan to name Phuket's biggest problem, a former director
of the Tourism Authority of Thailand had a quick one-word response:
''Corruption.''

There was no need to say more. The disturbing incidents of thuggery,
the reoccurring extortion, the neglect of the environment and the rule
of the rip-off all stem from the c-word.

Now it's time to look at alternatives, to look at systems that
function to international standards, to look at methods that give
locals a fair income for honest work.

Thailand needs this to happen, tourism needs this to happen, Phuket
needs this to happen. For too long, the island's evil underbelly has
been ignored.

As Governor Wichai Praisa-ngob has pointed out, Phuket is an island
peppered with problems. The unstoppable internet chatter now damaging
the future prospects of the country's best island destination comes as
a result of years of neglect.

The time is right for implementation of a ''Clean Up Phuket'' campaign
that goes beyond the litter on the beaches to target the real mess.

Thailand's national government must quickly focus on setting this
island straight, economically and socially, or run the risk of
permanent, irrevocable and extremely costly damage to the tourist
industry.

Having now apparently halted the scandals that tainted tourism at
Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the Government must turn its
attention to setting Phuket straight.

Continuing harsh economic times lie ahead. To allow the tuk-tuk and
jet-ski philosophy to continue to flourish would be a huge mistake.

Easy targets, easy money, jobs for the boys . . . and a happy life for
everyone, except the unfortunate victims.

That does not work in the 21st century, where tourists who fall victim
once do not come back. They have more choice these days. They tell
their friends. The word spreads.

In the best interests of Thailand, as an imperative for the island and
all who rely on tourism, it's time to clean up Phuket.
