"Cooperation on beach safety" otherwise knows as training and information provided by Australian Lifesavers to their Phuket counterparts.

 

Good for all, hopefully some additional surf lifesaving equipment was donated to the cause.

Why the hell should it be donated?

Why shouldn't the Phuket civic authorities source life saving equipment themselves?

I didn't say donated by Australia, there are plenty of businesses in Phuket that could donate life saving equipment or money to purchase these items. Its quite difficult to rescue people without equipment, regardless of the source (state or private contributions). Most life saving clubs in Australia rely on donations and sponsorship to ensure that their volunteer lifesavers are equipped. Have a hell of a nice day pal.
