Phuket reviews development projects as Mai Khao OrBorTor receives provincial honour

Mai Khao OrBorTor was honoured during Phuket’s monthly meeting of local administrative organisation executives at Phuket Provincial Hall on June 10, where provincial officials also reviewed a series of development projects and policy updates.

The meeting was chaired by Phuket Governor Nirat Pongsitthaworn. Sri Sunthorn Municipality also received a certificate recognising its achievements in developing a livable city during the 2026 fiscal year.

After the presentations, Governor Nirat led discussions with local government leaders, department heads and representatives of relevant agencies on provincial development issues. Topics reviewed included improvements to the national Common Frame of Establishment database, updates on Phuket’s statistical data and progress in reducing waste at source through sustainable waste management measures.

Officials were also briefed on technologies intended to support sustainable urban development, including high-efficiency biogas digesters and bio-nutrient systems. The meeting heard updates on the recruitment and appointment of local government executives and officials, as well as a study programme for participants in the Advanced Local Government Administrator Training Course being held in Bangkok and Phuket this month.

Key infrastructure proposals discussed included plans for a new fire station and municipal office building in Cherng Talay, a new municipal office building in Karon and improvements to Karon’s water supply system.

Governor Nirat urged local administrative organisations to work closely with government agencies and community partners to ensure Phuket’s development proceeds in a balanced and sustainable way. He said cooperation across all sectors was essential to improving infrastructure, environmental management, resource conservation and public services, while raising quality of life for residents across the province.
