Phuket –
The old Phuket Prison in Phuket Town will be turned into a public park with parking areas.
The President of the Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO) Mr. Rewat Areerob told The Phuket Express, “The old prison is located on Damrong Road in the Talad Yai sub-district, Mueang Phuket district, which is in the middle of the city. It is on a 40 Rai plot of land.”
“The old prison was used since 121 years ago. It was too small for the increasing number of prisoners. All prisoners were moved to the new bigger prison in Thalang.” Rewat stated.
“We want to turn this place into a new public park with parking areas. People in Phuket Town will have a new place with fresh air for exercising,” Mr. Rewat added.
