PHUKET:-- The Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO) Council President today (Sept 27) vowed to have lifeguards on Phuket’s beaches by this Sunday in response to the long-standing provider, Phuket Lifeguard Service Co Ltd (PLS), this week confirming that it has refused to renew the contract to provide their essential life-saving services.

 

The frightening prospect of having no lifeguards on Phuket’s beaches in October, one of the most dangerous months of the year to swim along the west coast, saw Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong this morning order the PPAO to “figure it out”.

 

The order prompted the PPAO council to raise the issue at a meeting just hours later today.

What will be the excuse for the PPAO President having no lifeguards on the beach at 1th?

 

How many have to die for this messed up yearly game?

Making billions but want to save 2 millions on this.

Saw the last training in Patong with the australian lifeguards. Tough guys. Will now the PPAO President train the new guys? TIT.

 

Misleading headline. They are not on strike. They refused to renew the contract that has been put out to tender. Of course no one applied either.
