Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos has confirmed that Nai Harn Beach has lifeguards to keep an eye on beachgoers every day.

 

The Mayor claims that some news agencies have stated that four famous Phuket beaches, including Nai Harn Beach, don’t have lifeguards.

 

“This news has damaged Phuket tourism a lot. All 12 beaches have lifeguards every day.”

A red, and yellow, shirt does NOT make a lifeguard, are they train, to internationally recognized standards.

“A six million baht budget has been provided to hire lifeguards for Nai Harn, Ya Nui and beaches on Koh Racha since October 1.”

Does this mean these are "new" lifeguards, if they started a month ago? And what about the others?

As the previous poster asked, "Are trained to internationally recognised standards?"

It begs the question owing to a few months ago there were two reports I read, of lifeguards standing around while members of the public did the rescuing, giving CPR as well.

Well, if you are going to be picky, what about the nurses and physicians one encounters in Thai health care facilities?   :) 

Be nice if those of you posting ever went to Nai Harn, or even lived here in Phuket.  These lifeguards have been at the beach daily for quite some time.
