Phuket lifeguard who quit after being forced from beach by vendors returns to work

PHUKET:-- A member of the Phuket Lifeguard Service stationed on Phuket’s west coast beach Laem Singh has return to work after quitting the service in December after being forced from his station by beach vendors.

 

On December 11, 2016, the unnamed lifeguard, who works alone at Laem Singh Beach, set up his government-issued shade tent where he had the best view of the beach causing upset to a group of beach vendors renting out beach umbrellas.

 

The angry group forced the lifeguard to take down his tent, stating they were “locals” and claimed the space as theirs to place umbrellas and mats for rent.

 

Fearing a violent confrontation, the lifeguard on duty disassembled his stand and finished his shift. At the end of the day, the guard turned in his gear, and quit the service.

 

A lifeguard supervisor first reported the incident to the Kamala Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) and the Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (OrBorJor), and then informed the Chief of Phuket Lifeguard Service. Until now, no action has been taken.

Disgusting. All the beach venders should have immediately been arrested.

Si senor, it is disgusting!

A bit like 'who cares for the occasional drown punk as long as we can scam off the survivors. Just do away with the corpses quickly, it's bad for the business ...'  

You can see how much influence Uncle Prayuth has on Phuket .... None !

Of course the guy should have immediately contacted the police or unfortunately since they  are under the military now, called the military.  And no doubt the guy knows he would be targeted by the beach vendors if he filed a report, named any names, etc.  What a sick situation
