PHUKET: Phuket Governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada is being transferred to Nakhon Sri Thammarat effective October 1.

Prime Minister’s Office spokesman Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd today announced the Cabinet’s decision to transfer 19 officers in the Ministry of Interior, including the Phuket governor, but did not specify the reasons behind the move.

Governor Chamroen assumed his current position in Phuket on September 30 last year.

Vice Governor Prajiad Aksornthammakul has been assigned as the acting governor until a new governor is appointed.
