In a quirky twist of marketing irony, Phuket International Airport landed itself in a whirlwind of social media scrutiny over its choice of artwork featuring a vibrant wall mural. The controversy erupted when the airport opted to showcase a photo of Singapore’s iconic heritage Peranakan houses, rather than highlighting the equally charming Sino-Portuguese architecture that graces the streets of Phuket itself. This decision quickly sparked a digital wildfire of opinions, with many netizens expressing their astonishment and disapproval.

Accompanying the image was a message that didn’t hold back, calling it a “shameful” representation of Phuket’s promotion efforts.

The juicy tip-off landing in their laps centers around allegations that our former chief copper might have been pocketing profits from an online gambling business. You’d think “online” would make it…
