Box jelly fish instructor trainer presentation on Koh Samui

Today there was a 'Box jelly fish instructor trainer presentation on Koh Samui', conducted by Dr, Lakkana Thaikruea, one of the leading box jelly fish experts in Thailand, and member of the Thai Box jelly fish work group with whom I've met a few times already, starting 5 years ago.

Tomorrow there will also be an all day long training schedule for life guards around Koh Samui beaches. Both days are being organized by the Tessabaan or the Koh Samui municipality and the meetings are taking place at the Tessabaan buildings in Nathon.

Today's presentation was aimed at doctors, nurses and ambulance staff from the various hospitals around the island and for Rescue workers. With Dr. Lakkana's charming and informative presentation style, she had a captive and interested audience and many notes were made and questions asked by the audience and answered by her.

Khun Chanchai Janworachaikul MD, Director of Koh Samui Hospital was also among the attendees and he spoke as a speaker about tomorrow's meeting, which is an initiative of him, a life guard that will be called into life, to guard the beaches around Koh Samui.A very good and long overdue initiative indeed!

These are just one of the initiatives that are happening around Koh Samui at the moment and shows that the box jelly fish threat is taken seriously. Once all planned activities and plans have been executed, I can only hope they will remain in place, active and on a regular base reviewed and upgraded when needed.

The THA (Thai Hotel Association) chapter Samui is still planning to have Dr. Lakkana back in January for further hotel staff training and a meeting with General Managers of hotels on the island and I keep my presentations going steady, with another one scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at Zazen Boutique Resort & Spa in Bophud.

A good start seems at least to have been made!
