Vice Governor Norasak’s assigned area of responsibility at the Phuket Provincial Office is ‘Social Affairs’. His previous position was Director of Local Legal Affairs Division at the Department of Local Administration (DOLA).
Mr Norasak and his family arrived at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday (Dec 28) and observed the traditional ceremonies of paying homage to the Royal Monument His Majesty King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) at the old Provincial Hall on Narisorn Rd in Phuket Town, which now serves as the new home for the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (PPAO).
He also travelled to Wat Chalong to pay homage to an image of Luang Pho Chaem and the abbot of Wat Chalong, before heading to the Phuket Provincial Administration Center on Tha Krang on the southern side of Phuket Town, which is home to the new and current Phuket Provincial Hall.
At the Provincial Hall, Mr Norasak and his family were welcomed to Phuket, and paid homage to the monument of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and to the Buddha image and spirit house at the front of the main building.
On his first day, Vice Governor Norasak also met with leading figures in the private sector and the local provincial government.
Mr Norasak joins fellow Phuket Vice Governors Sattha Thongkham, who arrived on the island with his wife and daughter on Nov 8, and Amnuay Pinsuwan, who has served as a Phuket Vice Governor since 2021, after serving as Chief of the Phuket Provincial Land Office.
