Phuket Governor Nisit's secretary confirmed to The Phuket News that the “contracts have been approved.”
An officer who did not want to be named also confirmed that the contracts arrived to Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (OrBorJor) yesterday (April 17).
The officer explained, “We received authorisation from the Phuket Governor. But we still need to manage all the budgets next week.”
Paiboon Upatising Chief of OrBorJor, together with the rest of the committee, will then work together to finalise the contracts.
“The contracts will be active for 10 months. We hope that the lifeguards will return to their duties by next month,” said the officer.
