Following two drownings and up to ten ‘near misses’ on Phuket’s beaches over the past week, the first class of 30 volunteer lifeguards joined the training course organised by the OrBorJor at the Cherngtalay sports centre yesterday (October 18).
Phuket’s Vice Governor, Saint Srivihok, paid a visit to the training session.

During the training, there was also an officer from Royal Thai Navy Area 3 giving a lecture about marine rescues. The training will take 3 days.
“Everyone at the training course was concentrating hard as it requires mental and physical strength as well as knowledge in rescuing. This team will help ensure the safety for beachgoers at the beaches of Phuket,” said the Vice Governor.
