Building bridges? MP proposes that one to Koh Samui be named "Chan O-cha Bridge"!

 

Picture: PPTV

 

A Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) MP from Nakhon Sri Thammarat has suggested that a bridge linking the mainland with Koh Samui should be named the "Chan O-cha Bridge" after Thai prime minister Prayut. 

 

Sayan Yuthitham was speaking in the House of Representatives yesterday, noted PPTV. 

 

The PPRP is known to have close links with the government of the PM. 

 

He said that traffic to the holiday island had been appalling over the holidays and there were only two ferry ports. 

 

A bridge should be built from Khanom, he said, echoing many such suggestions over the years and ones made as recently as last month. 

 

He said there were precedents - Pote Sarasin (an acting PM in the 1950s) had one between Phangnga and Phuket named after him just as soon as he came into office. 

 

And one (in Songkhla in the south) had been named after former 1980s Thai PM and Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanond who died last year. 

 

So why not Lung Too or Uncle Too, too.

It's a nice name : uncle too, too ...Why not ?   or Yinn POTY 2019 ?

 

I hope that they will give the construction concession to one or more countries which know how to make long bridges:
USA, Japan, China, France why not?
We have a magnificent work of art with the Millau viaduct which is a highway bridge; the Dutch too have mastered the construction of large-scale works of art

Why not name a bridge after the bringer of happiness and the pacifier of the whole nation...

Khanom beach is one of the best beaches in the country, with pods of dolphins swimming around. Hope this bridge will be one too far.

A good few names spring to mind that this MP could be named, none of them are very polite though, so I will refrain! ????

And by unanimous vote, the committee decided to go with a bridge of the General’s own personal design. He's been working on it for months....and he's almost finished.

These people need a brain transplant. The tourism minister was approached by hoteliers during a visit to Samui last month and asked for a bridge to be considered yet again to promote tourism. 

The only thing the hoteliers need to do to promote tourism is Reduce Their Prices and the only thing the government needs to do is devalue the bhat. 

A bridge will not increase tourism but only increase traffic on Samui's already congested roads. Not to mention costing the jobs of the seamen who operate the ferries.

Nicely avoided the clear text which fits here

 

If it didn't look serious one would call for the fake news center.

Where is it when you need it?

Big mistake to put down the ferries biz, then costs over high, time to build as well over too long, why not a sky train good enough, cheaper, faster to build i. E..

But if named “Yinn Bridge”, it might disappear like Yinn did after being built !

Terrific structure. And to think it took a shorter time to construct than Chalong underpass in sunny Phuket
