Or learn to ride a bike before coming to Thailand. Daily, I see these tourists trying to go up these steep hills from Kata beach to Kata Noi and they fail each and every time. Sick of them!

* The Patong Baywatch team is a group of people, including former lifeguards, who patrol Patong Beach for safety. The team was created and remains funded by the Patong Development Foundation, which was founded by local businessman Preechavude “Prab” Keesin, a son of long-time former Patong Mayor Pian Keesin. The team now also provide assistance to those injured in accidents.

 

Interesting.

Interesting.

Maybe a part of his popularity "campaign" in order to become the new mayor of Patong??

 

As we both know, one can rest assured that there has to be something else behind it other than being for the "good of the citizens and tourists here"!!!
