PATTAYA MARKS WORLD ANTI-DRUG DAY

Free Concert Raises Awareness Of Drug Abuse

City fathers used music as their medium this year to promote the
anti-drug message on World Anti-Drug Day.

Wuthisak Rermkitchakarn, on of Pattaya's deputy mayors, presided over
the opening of an Anti-Drug concert to mark the day, this year held on
June 26 at the public grounds next to city hall.

Popular singer Ajariya Busaba entertained spectators with country
songs and dances, promoting the anti-drug message.

The well attended concert was held to raise awareness of drugs and
encourage people to stay away from them. Pattaya joined the rest of
the world to bring about awareness of drug abuse to the people.

The deputy mayor said it is the duty of all to monitor and report
names of drug dealers and users to the governmental officials, as well
as inform them of places where drugs are being used or sold. He said
people can write a letter revealing what they have seen about
misconduct in their community to P.O. Box 1234 and the national drug
and crime office will try to solve the problem for them.

Wuthisak urged parents to teach their children to be good citizens and
do good things. He said good deeds must be generated and taught to the
kids in the family to produce a strong and peaceful society.

On the night, popular singers Aphaporn Nakornsawan, and Ajariya Busaba
entertained spectators with country songs and dances. Eddie the Ghost
and his comedy gang glued the audience to their seats with their
hilarious stage performance. The concert ended at midnight, but
hopefully the message of warning to youngsters did not.
