Tuk tuk's simply need to be controlled, not removed, they MUST be metered and NOT allow to simply take over parking on every street corner that are NOT reserved by the local government, it is simply unacceptable to allow this lawlessness in such a beautiful community to continue. Why would Phuket allow their beautiful island to be held hostage by a few hundred people

Bill Barnett responds: Looks like this issue is getting larger so hopefully there will be action.
