Sattahip rolled out government services in Taothan as
part of its “Smile Mobile” outreach program.
Mayor Phawat Lertmukda kicked off the service Oct. 26 at Thepprasit Temple
with Lt. Col. Prakorb Saengpring, deputy suppression superintendent at the
Sattahip Police Station, members of the Sattahip Red Cross, village chiefs,
and community leaders.
Phawat said the higher living expenses, inflation, unemployment and crime
have posed problems for residents and the Smile Mobile program was created
to ease concerns.
Government services will visit a different community each week to provide
government and health-care services.
In Taothan, a medical team from Sattahip Km. 10 Hospital provided health
checks, administered medicine, and educated residents on prevention of
dengue fever. Bureaucrats also provided services on taxes, cultivation, and
livestock. Housewives and the disabled offered locally made products for
sale and the Red Cross distributed relief bags to the poor and disabled.
