“We expect many people to be in the area to attend the Grand Opening of the Central Patong,” Patong Police Chief Col Anotai Jindamanee told The Phuket News.
“We ask all motorists for their cooperation to be a good host and to avoid the area during this time. This will make it easier for police officers to help many tourists to walk across the road,” he said.
“And as always, please careful when using the road,” Col Anotai added.
