50 Million between 39 restaurants doesn't seem a lot to me

[harry1]

how many local business have suffered in phuket sandbox by being mislead with broken promises,most hotel and restaurant were either shut or gone out of business.the few who reopened, spent their last bit of money on stock,staff and ongoing bills.and was told to expect 100s thousand of tourist ? the same happened in bangkok when pm said restaurants will open in 2 weeks time a month ago,nothing happen.and why he want a new law to disqualify government official facing lawsuit
