Emergency preparedness exercise to be held in Phuket
Phuket is set to hold an air-sea rescue exercise to demonstrate the government's commitment to tourist safety. The exercise aims to instil confidence in tourists and showcase Phuket as a safe destination. The meeting attended by key figures discussed concerns regarding drug eradication, tourist safety, and regulation of nightlife venues. The exercise will simulate a tour boat caught in adverse weather conditions, similar to the 2018 Phoenix tour boat incident.
