The bypass road in Phuket was officially opened yesterday. The road is now 4 lane from the Sam Kong junction next to Tesco Lotus, up to the airport road. The Sam Kong junction still needs a tidy up. The amount of road works in the last 2 years is amazing. So many 4 lane roads in Phuket now. There have been massive infrastructure improvements in the last few years, though one can still not rely 100% on electric and water supplies...
And the shopping opportunites! When I got here 6 years ago, Lotus was there (only the supermarket). This expanded to include the mall section with restaurants, shops and Home Pro. Then came Big-C, then Index, then the Central Festival Mall. Still, the local Kathu market is crowded every day. You get the best of both worlds here in Phuket.
