MUSICAL TREATMENT FOR DRUG ADDICTS

Royal Thai Army Organizes The Carabao Band

The Royal Thai Army, together with the Carabao Band, will organize musical
treatment and entertainment for drug addicts confined in Wiwat Pollamuang
School, to encourage the prisoners to stay away from drugs, and then
hopefully return them to society to become good citizens.

The famous Carabao band will give a mini-concert at Wiwat Pollamuang
Center, Pack Squadron, in Mae Rim district, as part of this radical drug
rehabilitation plan.

Yuenyong O-pakul (aka Add Carabao) said that musical treatment activity
would be held for the first time in Chiang Mai, after which the band would
perform at concerts in every Wiwat Pollamuang School throughout the country.

Wiwat Pollamuang School, Pack Squadron, Chiang Mai province, began to treat
drug addicts almost two years ago. There were approximately 250 drug
addicts there, with 80 of them under treatment and more than 100 drug
addicts were already back in society.
