PHOTOS & VIDEO: District 5 PR Office

The PM arrived at the Chalong Underpass area this morning to officially declare the controversial 350 metre underground road tunnel open. The roadworks took nearly four years to complete and caused financial pain, inconvenience and turmoil for both businesses and residents in the south of the island.

The Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos was part of the contingent trying to keep the PM safe as he met a group of his local supporters who were clambering for a chance to shake Prayut’s hand and sneak a quick photo.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, aka. Uncle Tu, will spend this afternoon at Cape Panwa then fly back to Bangkok later this afternoon.
