Chalermluck: first priority is flooding solutions.

She told The Phuket News today, “The first thing I am going to do is to prepare to solve the flood problem, followed by the garbage problem and then the Mafia.

“I want to create a situation where those who are doing everything legally do not have to pay influential people.”

Mrs Chalermluck won the election on April 26 with more than half the votes cast, leaving incumbent mayor Pian Keesin with just 3,330 votes out of 8,500 cast.
