Trucks with ten wheels or more will be banned on roads in Phuket during rush hours, said the Phuket Governor.

The Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat told the Phuket Express that trucks with more than ten wheels will be banned on roads in Phuket from 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. and from 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. except on Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays, starting from July 1st, 2024.
