State power coming to Phi Phi island, Thailand
Phi Phi Island residents were overjoyed yesterday to learn they would be able to access state-run electricity within six months, as the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department will allow power poles to be erected in the Hat Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park.
The poles-in-the-park decision followed a visit to Bangkok by Phi Phi residents in December to ask the prime minister for an electricity service, said Krabi Governor Prasit Osathanon.
