More entertainment zones mapped out

PHUKET: Muang and Thalang Districts have mapped out the areas in which they propose to have entertainment zones. These areas must be specified in order to meet the requirements of proposed new legislation governing the entertainment industry. In a paper released yesterday, Vice-Governor Amnuay Sanguannam explained that the Muang District plan includes 13 separate entertainment zones – one in Tambon Taladyai, three in Tambon Rassada, two in Chalong, four in Karon and one each in Wichit, Koh Kaew and Rawai. Details of the proposed zones are as follows: – Taladyai: An area stretching 700 meters south from Surin Rd, Soi 2, across Soi 3 and Sri Sena Rd, almost to the waterfront. – Rassada: Along Rassadanusorn Rd from the Thepkrasattri Rd intersection to the Ruam Pattana intersection, stretching 50 meters out from either side of the road. Sri Suthat Rd, from the Phuket Town limit to the entrance of Phuket Housing Project 1, and stretching 50 meters out from either side of the road.
