PHUKET:-- The mayors of Patong and Rawai municipalities are now in the process of finding budgets to hire their own lifeguards for beaches under their jurisdiction following last Friday’s announcement that lifeguards would no longer be working at a number of the island’s west coast beaches.
 

Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsub today (Dec 4) told The Phuket News’ Thai-language sister paper Khao Phuket, “In the past few days we have discussed with Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong about the lifeguard situation and he now acknowledges that Patong Municipality will find a budget by ourselves in hiring lifeguards for Patong Beach.

 

“We will start on the plan, find budgets, meet with associations and hand our proposal to the local committee to see whether they approve our plan,” she said.
