Photo: The Phuket News / file PHUKET: Four of Phuket’s beaches; Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, Nai Thon and Mai Khao beaches are to be left unprotected as from today (Dec 1) as lifeguards have rejected the contract for this month offered by Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO, or OrBorJor). Former Phuket Lifeguard Service (PLS) employees, contracted by PPAO on month-by-month basis, stopped protecting Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, Naithon and Mai Khao beaches due to new tensions with the PPAO, according to Wirun Cheusaman, a lifeguard from Surin beach. “The contract for December was rejected by lifesavers and all of them left the beaches on December 1,” said Mr Wirun.

stevenl Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) All hotels are paying a fee per guest for life saver service, what is happening to that money (no need to answer). This is really ridiculous. Edited December 2, 2017 by stevenl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechbum Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Cant blame the LG's, risking your own life then told to wait half a month for your pay...nah, doesnt work like that, wonder if those running the PPAO would be unhappy if they were told the same re thier salaries/incomes? Mr Wirun explained that he and his colleagues were told by the PPAO that their salaries for November will not be paid until the middle of the current month. Lifeguards found the date unacceptable. “The PPAO has not paid my salary for the previous month. This is not acceptable, mid-December is really too late. We need our salaries to live,” Mr Wirun told The Phuket News today (Dec 1) Nai Harn chief lifeguard Jula Nontree told the The Phuket News that his team will no longer provide their services on Nai harn Beach for the same reason.
