PHUKET:-- Phuket City Police have ramped up patrols throughout Phuket Town and Saphan Hin to counter gangs of youths using public areas for taking drugs and holding motorbike street races.

The move follows Phuket City Deputy Mayor Kawee Tansuktanon raising the issue at a meeting earlier this week which he called in response to a slew of complaints by local residents.

Areas identified as where gangs of youths gather to take drugs and race motorbikes included the 72nd Anniversary Queen Sirikit Park (Dragon Park) and King Rama IX Park (Suan Luang), and at Saphan Hin Park, the Indoor Stadium nearby and along Soi Bang Yai, which runs beside Bang Yai Canal at Saphan Hin.
