Yesterday, more than 90 workers in charge of drowning rescue in Phuket, Thailand announced their resignation. The reason is that the rescue team cannot be called normal operation due to insufficient funds. In recent years, China tourists have frequently drowned in Phuket, so the local beach rescue team may have a greater security impact on the safety of tourists visiting Phuket. Thai media reported that after the rescue team left, there will be no lifeguards at Phuket Beach, and the beach will only serve as a "red flag" warning, which will increase the risk factor of illegal swimming in the sea.
Brata Yu, chairman of the Phuket Maritime Rescue Association in Thailand, said: "After evaluating the fund management structure of the rescue work in the whole system, we regret to announce that the work contracts of 90 rescuers will not be renewed, and there will be no rescue organizations in Phuket. Judging from the current remaining funds19.8 million baht, it can only be used to invest more warning signs to remind tourists to pay attention to safety. "

Lucifer20 17: The scenery in Thailand is really beautiful. The sea is crystal clear, and the small fish in the sea will swim around and can be fished up at will.
Arabian White Army: Every year, seven or eight tourists from China drown in Phuket. If there were no rescue teams, more people might have drowned. If you don't meet the standard by the end of the year, I suggest you not to go this year. If you have to go, maybe you will make up for it. The main reason for drowning is that tourists are self-righteous, go their own way and don't obey the rules.
D2 Goodbye: I have been to Karen Beach twice, so it goes without saying that the Spring Festival season is too busy. Another time is this season, the rainy season, there are few tourists, many restaurants have no business, and there are no fixed lifeguards on the beach. Maybe they are all in busy Badong and Cathary. In this season's Phuket, a full buffet breakfast in a four-star hotel is only 200 yuan/day. This is the hardest day.
Butter girl: Actually, tourism in Phuket is really developed. There is no so-called off-season all year round. . . They are all from China. . . There are also many Russians. . People who have been there must know. . However, the management companies there take kickbacks very badly, and the money is divided layer by layer, until the last layer of labor is pitiful. A photo album shot at sea can sell for 200 RMB, but it only needs 20 RMB to get to them.
Terminal cancer _: Remember that all drowning people can swim, and landlubbers should never get into the water. But I am not afraid, because I can't afford to go to Phuket.
