PHUKET: Officials at Phuket Provincial Hall are setting in motion plans to tackle rising concerns over increasing drug use by teens across the island, and have tabled the idea of taking steps to “prevent and combat prostitution”.

 

Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong yesterday (Jan 29) officially launched a one-day youth anti-drug education event at the Tapao Yai community building in Wichit, with 1,000 students taking part.

 

The event targeted students in drug “risk groups”, and students who tested positive for drugs in random urine checks at schools, with the aim of preventing drug problems among youths by educating them about the dangers of narcotics and drug use.

Good luck with that one.

The phrase 'pissing into the wind' comes to mind.

“Inspections carried out in the year 2017 found no offences,” V/Gov Prakob noted, speaking on official action on venues believed to be supporting prostitution."

 

Oh please, just stop it, you are making yourself look (even more) foolish!

I thought tackling drug use was a normal job for the police not something that needs to be rolled out with a grand announcement. Best way to tackle drug use is to go after the king pins but I have yet to see one caught, tried, convicted & actually gone to jail.
