Beach Watch coming soon to Phuket

Beach Watch Associations to enforce the beach rules are “coming soon” to Phuket, Governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada announced this week.

Each local administration will form its own Beach Watch Association and report directly to the provincial Beach Management Committee, Governor Chamroen told a meeting at Provincial Hall on Thursday (Mar 3).

Phuket Vice Governor Chokdee Amornwat, who heads the provincial Beach Management Committee, will report his findings directly to the Governor’s Office, he added.

“These associations will be named according to the beach they take care of, such as Kata Beach Watch Association or Patong Beach Watch Association,” Gov Chamroen said.

“Each association will be responsible for posting signs at the beaches to let people and tourists know the rules,” he added.
