Hundreds of volunteers man fishing boats to take them out to sea to release 309,000 young black tiger prawns into the sea where they can live a free life and breed.

Hundreds of citizens gathered at the Seaside Shrine in Ban Rong Po, a few kilometers north of Pattaya on Aug 11, to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit on the auspicious occasion of her 91st birthday. The event took form through a collective release of marine life into the waters, a gesture born from a shared reverence for the Queen Mother’s enduring care for the environment.



Led by Pisit Sirisawasdinukul, Bang Lamung District Chief and Jarevat Chinawat, mayor of the Bang Lamung sub-district, the ceremonies centered on the release of 309,000 young black tiger prawns into the embrace of Bang Lamung Bay. This act poignantly symbolized a united endeavor to bolster the ocean’s vitality.

Aiming to maintain the equilibrium of nature, participants underscored their commitment to this delicate balance. The event’s purpose extended further, encompassing a concerted effort to enhance the shoreline through a comprehensive beach cleanup.
