OPINION: Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of traversing the Andaman coastline, not just as a casual observer, but as a dedicated follower of Phuket Andaman FC. My journeys with the team have taken me far beyond the familiar streets of Phuket, through the winding roads and bustling towns of Satun, Trang, Krabi, Phang Nga and Khao Lak. These trips, often punctuated by pit stops at every 7-Eleven and Amazon Café along the way, have offered a unique perspective on the region, particularly in light of the upcoming ‘Andaman Riviera’ project.
