bluesofa Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 “Phuket is the top tourism destination of our country,” Col Monsak noted. “If allow non-effective, unqualified lifeguards, it will harm our country’s tourism industry. “I expect that the government sees tourism safety with qualified lifeguard as a priority,” Col Monsak added.[unquote] I assume that's why I can remember reading in the past couple of months two news reports where the alleged lifeguards stood around and watched members of the public dive into the sea and pull people to safety. The public also performed CPR on one of the victims while the lifeguards did nothing. But that doesn't matter, as long as someone made a quick buck somewhere, eh?

pattayadgw Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 It's been quite apparent for years to most people with any intelligence there was something wrong with the picture, regarding the lifeguards deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Of course there was corruption in this deal. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out when a company from Bangkok with zero experience gets awarded the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the brightest comment. Do you have any idea how systemic corruption is? And if so, do you have a clue as to how and how long it would take to make a significant difference. If you think 4 yrs then you are out of touch. If you said 40 then you'd be getting warm. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo A recent comment said it can't be fixed in a million years...….I have seen it for 40 yrs and there's been no improvement, got worse if anything. But one of the reasons the Junta claimed they seized power was to address rampant corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
