The following is our weekly feature in which we highlight the top local stories in our area of Phuket from the past week. The number of stories differs from week to week.
These are chosen and curated by our editorial team and are designed for our readers to get a quick “catch-up” of important stories they may have missed. We publish many stories daily and it is easy to lose track of important events or changes in our area. We do national recaps in a separate article, this is only the top local stories in Phuket.
They are in no particular order of importance but roughly in order of publishing. These are from Monday, March 25th to Sunday March 31st, 2024.

Witnessed to the video and incident reportedly said the female foreign tourist is Japanese but that isn’t confirmed as of press time.
The video has since gone viral on social media here.
