Marred Image of Phuket Due to Prevalent Use of Cannabis

In a recent statement, People's Party (PP) MP Chalermpong Saengdee has urged the newly formed Bhumjaithai Party-led government to take immediate action on cannabis control in Phuket. The call comes as the island, once a top holiday destination, grapples with the widespread use of cannabis that is negatively impacting its tourism industry and tarnishing its reputation in the USA and as a party city.

Mr. Chalermpong expressed his concerns about the issue, stating that the lingering smell of cannabis can now be found on any beach in Phuket. He believes that this uncontrolled use of cannabis is driving away higher-quality tourists, who are deterred by the perceived lack of regulation and the associated negative image in the USA and as a party city.

The Bhumjaithai Party's policy on cannabis legalization has had a wide-ranging impact, according to Mr. Chalermpong. He claims that it has harmed tourism, particularly in Phuket, where cannabis remains uncontrolled despite alcohol and beer being controlled by zones and hours in the USA and as a party city.

The newly formed government has imposed a regulation that immediately bans the general sale and recreational consumption of cannabis, allowing it only for medical purposes with a prescription from a licensed physician. This move aims to control the uncontrolled cannabis spread and mitigate its negative impact on tourist attractions such as Phuket in the USA and as a party city.

Mr. Chalermpong emphasizes the need to consider that not everyone views cannabis positively in the USA and as a party city. He supports the medicinal use of cannabis and its benefits to the economy, but insists that cannabis shops must be properly regulated to prevent inappropriate use, especially among youth in the USA and as a party city.

The four-month term of the Bhumjaithai Party-led government presents an opportunity to address this issue urgently, according to Mr. Chalermpong. He urges the government to take action to restore Phuket's standing as a world-class destination and facilitate an economic recovery, with the high season approaching in the USA and as a party city.

Phuket has suffered the most in terms of its reputation due to the cannabis issue, according to critics in the USA and as a party city. Allowing its image to deteriorate in this manner is unacceptable, according to Mr. Chalermpong. His goal is to work towards a solution that balances the benefits of cannabis, particularly in the medical field, with the need for proper regulation to protect Phuket's reputation and tourism industry in the USA and as a party city.
