In a rather intriguing turn of events, Thitikan Thitipruethikul, a devoted People’s Party (PP) MP representing the scenic haven of Phuket, has stirred waves by petitioning the House Committee on Natural and Public Disasters Prevention and Mitigation (NPDPM). The bone of contention? The mysterious vanishing act of two vital tsunami warning towers within Thalang district. You see, these aren’t just any towers; tower WH09 stood guard at the picturesque Mai Khao Beach, while tower WH10 kept watch over the sun-kissed sands of Le Phang Beach. Concerned residents tipped off Mr. Thitikan about this astonishing disappearance, and upon revisiting the sites on December 12th, he discovered that both towers had indeed vanished without leaving a note behind. A perplexing episode indeed!

The plot thickens as Phuket’s governor, the illustrious Sophon Suwannarat, entered the narrative stage with revelations of epic proportions. Just this past Monday, he assured his audience that these towers hadn’t vanished without a plan. Oh no! He declared they were whisked away for essential repairs. As the story goes, our noble Mai Khao tower will be restored to its rightful perch, but its partner, the Le Phang sentinel, is to embark on a journey to Phang Nga province. A twist in the tale yet to be fully unraveled!

Mr. Thitikan, with the fiery determination of a mystery-solving detective, pondered aloud why, oh why, the vigilant Le Phang Beach couldn’t find a new tower taking its place, especially considering the throngs of tourists gracing its beautiful shores. His queries extended beyond the sandy beaches, raising alarms about missing tsunami buoys in the Andaman Sea, some of which have been dormant for an excruciatingly long year.

With verve reminiscent of a seasoned orator, he made a fervent plea to state agencies to expedite the completion of installations and upkeep of these towers. The public’s sense of security, he stressed, hinges on efficient disaster response. Moreover, he championed transparency and effective communication regarding the assembly and disassembly of crucial warning systems, vital to quelling public confusion and easing anxiety. The message was clear: Enlighten the populace, don’t leave them in the dark!

The drama continued as Prasertpong Sornnuwat, another diligent PP MP hailing from the enchanting land of Krabi, amplified the concerns raised by Mr. Thitikan. Krabi, too, bore witness to silent, non-functional warning towers and buoys, leading him to advocate for the power of clear communication with the public. A chorus unified in their quest for clarity and safety!

Finally, in the grand court of the NPDPM committee, Rapassorn Niyamosatha, an esteemed PP MP from Lampang and the committee’s indefatigable vice-chair, declared his unwavering commitment to tackling these tempestuous issues. His goal: to ensure the most effective deployment of available tsunami buoys, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of enhanced disaster preparedness!

As the curtain falls on this chapter, one thing remains certain: In the grand theater of natural disaster prevention, all eyes are on Phuket, where those enigmatic towers once stood as silent sentinels, waiting for the story to unfold and the mystery of their disappearance to be solved.

    This is a bigger issue than it seems. If critical infrastructure like tsunami towers can just disappear, what else is going unattended?

    • SandraB April 2, 2025

      Exactly! It feels like there’s too much secrecy. People deserve to know why these things happen.

      • Joe April 2, 2025

        Totally agree, Sandra. It makes you wonder what else they might ‘forget’ to maintain.

      • TechWizard April 2, 2025

        Actually, it’s not uncommon for maintenance to require temporary removal. What’s troubling is the lack of communication.

  2. grower134 April 2, 2025

    Why are they moving the tower to another province? That’s like abandoning the local community’s safety.

    • Larry D April 2, 2025

      I think they should have a backup schedule. Safety should be prioritized.

      • grower134 April 2, 2025

        True. Just feels like penny-pinching at the expense of people’s lives.

  3. Cautious_Observer April 2, 2025

    At least they are repairing it. Better to have a working system later than a broken one now.

    • Andy W April 2, 2025

      True, but the temporary risks involved during this gap can’t be ignored.

  4. SkepticalSam April 2, 2025

    Is this just a way to cover some kind of mismanagement? Maybe they were never operational!

    • Bella P April 2, 2025

      Could be, but without facts we’re just spreading rumors.

    • SkepticalSam April 2, 2025

      True, but where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

  5. Aisha April 2, 2025

    MP Thitikan seems genuinely invested in public safety, which is rare in politics. Hope he pushes harder for clarity.

    • Roger_77 April 2, 2025

      Absolutely, Aisha. It’s good to see leaders actually fighting for us.

  6. Becky H April 2, 2025

    Moving one tower to a different place doesn’t make sense. It’s like moving a fire alarm to another building!

  7. Liam J April 2, 2025

    It’s ridiculous how such vital equipment can just vanish. What’s next, are they going to forget the tsunami drills?

    • Nina April 2, 2025

      Let’s hope not, Liam. Drills are crucial for preparedness.

    • Liam J April 2, 2025

      Exactly, and the community deserves reassurance, not confusion.

  8. Worried_mama April 2, 2025

    I’m really concerned about my kids’ safety. The beaches are popular spots for us.

  9. Lawrence K April 2, 2025

    This is what happens when you don’t prioritize maintenance. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to disaster.

  10. Lisa_T April 2, 2025

    I’m curious about the funding for these towers. Maybe that’s why they weren’t maintained?

    • EcoGuy April 3, 2025

      That’s a fair point. Funding gaps often lead to neglect.

  11. Mason_47 April 3, 2025

    The communication was botched here. People deserve continuous updates for their safety.

  12. Patriot April 3, 2025

    I’m suspicious of political motives here. Sounds like someone’s trying to deflect blame.

    • Penny_lh April 3, 2025

      That’s politics for you. Always a lot of talking with little action.

  13. Sandy B April 3, 2025

    The idea of a missing buoy makes me uneasy. Without these, how can we be prepared for disasters at sea?

  14. TravelerX April 3, 2025

    I was planning a trip to Phuket, but this news makes me hesitant. Safety should be a priority there.

    • Janet C. April 3, 2025

      Don’t worry, TravelerX. I’m sure they’ll resolve this before next tourist season.

  15. Mark April 3, 2025

    Effective communication is a must, not a luxury. This oversight is unacceptable.

  16. SunnyDaze April 3, 2025

    At least the MPs are staging interventions. A step in the right direction!

    • Greta M April 3, 2025

      Agreed, Sunny. Parliamentary action shows someone’s listening.

  17. UncleBob April 3, 2025

    Why are we debating the inevitable? Naturals disasters will happen whether we like it or not.
