Turiststopp på favoriten Phuket - Resor - Expressen.se
The article is in swedish but a rough translation says:
Phuket is full. This high season there will be 4 million tourists on Phuket island and now the Thai goverment will start to use the brake. The tourist hordes can't increase anymore. Phuket will instead invest in luxury hotels for the rich.
The charter tourists will in the future be sent to cheaper places like Khao Lak, Krabi and Trang. And the backpackers that discovered Phuket's charm is long gone allready.
