PHUKET: The South Korean ambassador to Thailand and the Phuket governor discussed the technological alliance between their two countries on Wednesday morning at Provincial Hall.

“Phuket is a role model for the nation’s Smart City project,” said Gov Chokchai. “We are working on free WiFi as well CCTV coverage on the entire island, so it will be a good idea to exchange technological information. We are pushing these proposals forward for the convenience of tourists visiting the island.”
