“Garden Village’ plan for Karon

PHUKET TOWN: A new town plan will transform Karon into a “Garden Village”, officials revealed yesterday. Anawath Suwannaded, Chief of the Provincial Town and Country Planning Office, said the Karon project would cover 20 square kilometers. A committee had suggested that Karon should be “an ideal place with green views, where the height of buildings was limited and building colors blended in with the environment”. Governor CEO Pongpayome Vasaputi has been leading the project team in meetings since November last year. The specifics of the team’s recommendations are to be unveiled soon.
