webfact Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Phuket’s Governor inspects lifeguards at the northern beaches More lifeguards for the northern beaches By Kritsada Mueanhawong The Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong has had his first inspection of lifeguards at Mai Khao Beach. There are now five lifeguards at Mai Khao Beach, the long stretch of beach along the northern end of Phuket’s west coast. Three more lifeguards will be hired. Governor Norraphat says “Currently there are no beach lights, CCTV camera or tourist service centres at Mai Khao Beach. We have ordered local administrative organisations to install these facilities as soon as possible. Tha Chatchai Police will install a ‘Red Box’ at the beach too which will be staffed with police and security officers. A tourist service centre will be installed as well.” Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/phukets-governor-inspects-lifeguards-at-the-northern-beaches -- © Copyright The Thaiger 2018-05-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know if he popped on down to Layan and Leypang where the reports say there are no lifeguards and had a word with the local gov't guys there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbark Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Why are the shirts only in English. I thought it was mostly Chinese that get into trouble in the water. The shirts should be tri-lingual, Chinese, Thai and English or use international symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakeopete Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Is Phuket the only destination in Thailand to have lifeguards? I've never seen a lifeguard in Hua Hin where I live or any other beaches we have visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcula Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) That cyborg saviour from 2029 appears to have aged badly. And, he seems to have teamed up with a Gamorrean clown from Star Wars.
