Too many hotels in Phuket

Phuket Gazette

This is an interesting comment which has surfaced again.  This time there is a call for 600 Baht a night to be the lowest price that can be given.


This reminds me of the DVD saga - 60 Baht is the lowest price that can be given to a buyer - if the seller offers you less than they can be reported....


But these is business - there is far too many hotels on Phuket already so why does the Government allow more to be built?


There are limits placed on the amount (and type) of taxis that are allowed on the island.


BUT in this world of competition surely the best thing to do is to allow the businesses to fail, but we are being asked to protect them from themselves.


Discussion corner here - what do you think?
