Phuket spends money on these ridiculous plans to go to Antarctica, when they
haven’t even solved their paratransit problem of tuk-tuk mafia. They are
the sole means of transportation for people who do not own cars, since bus
transit has been banned from one Phuket beach to the other. Maybe the
underground monorail to Antarctica will have extensions inside the island?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:12.0pt'>(I-Newswire) - The much talked about plans for an
underground monorail from Patong to Antarctica have been fully announced today
says <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Khun Chocktip</st1:City>, <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Thailand</st1:country-region></st1:place> Initiative for Tourism (TIT)
President. After several years of feasibility studies a final conclusion of
whether to consider the proposal or not will now finally be decided by the year
2012.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Khun Chocktip explained, “Normally these types
of proposals take decades to come to fruition but we have done it in less than
ten years. The speed of these feasibility studies puts other parts of the
country to shame. The underground monorail to <st1:place w:st="on">Antarctica</st1:place>
has so much potential and even though it will never happen as it is not
physically possible we should all be proud of our highly paid feasibility
consultants, they offer us such value for money!” As usual the Patong
Times refrains from commenting on political matters, especially those that
involve large sums of money being spent on consultants.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
