HRH Ubol Ratana to visit Phuket
PHUKET: HRH Princess Ubol Ratana Rajakanya will be in Phuket July 26 to 29 as part of her ‘To Be Number One’ project to steer Thai children and youths away from drugs.
Phuket Governor Niran Kalayanamit made the announcement at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday at the monthly meeting of Phuket Provincial committee members and office chiefs.
She will attend the opening ceremony of the To Be Number One Friend Corner – a youth center where troubled teens can discuss their problems – at Muang Thalang School on July 28, at 5 pm.
The Princess will then move to the Port Area at Jungceylon, Patong, for the To Be Number One Concert at 7 pm.
She will return to Bangkok on July 29.
Gov Niran also announced that Phuket has been selected as Thailand’s model province for the To Be Number One project – the second time that Phuket has won this accolade.
In previous To Be Number One projects, a group of more than 1,000 people from Kathu were recognized for their efforts in organizing community activities with the aim of deterring children from drugs.
Similarly, students from Chalermprakiat Somdejprasrinakarin Phuket, in Wichit, were awarded a certificate for holding an aerobic dance to raise awareness of drug-related issues.
