Government
|
 |
 The
island is divided into 3 districts, Thalang
in the north, Kathu in the west, and Muang in
the south.
Thailand's system of government relies
upon a strong central authority, thus the Provincial
Governor is a civil servant appointed by the Interior
Ministry in Bangkok, as are the Nai Amphoe, or
District Chief.
The cities of Phuket and Patong have their
own city governments, with elected city councils,
the leading members of which serve as mayor.
There are also elected provincial, district,
and sub-district, or Tambon councils. The local
constabulary is part of the Interior Ministry.
