Rear Admiral Choompon Wongwekin (Director-General of Naval Civil Affairs Department) assigned Capt. Somphoom Prayoonanuthep (Assistant Director of Psychology Operation Division of Naval Civil Affairs Department) and Dr. Thaporn Somsakoon (Coordination Official of Psychology Operation Division) to gather 200 Volkswagen Beetle Lovers from the Thai Classic Automobile and Vehicle Association and the Thai Volkswagen Beetle Association.
Their mission was to ride 80 Volkswagen Beetle cars to release sea turtles to promote the campaign “1,500 Beautiful Sea Miles by Preserving Thai Sea 2009”.
Rear Admiral Choompon Wongwekin revealed that, “the Naval Base has assigned different campaign responsibilities to various departments of The Royal Thai Navy. In addition the project is also being promoted to the government, local and private sectors, and many other clubs and associations in order to gain maximum exposure emphasizing on the sea preservation activities such as collecting sea garbage, releasing aquatic animals and beefing up measures to suppress and incriminate marine law violators.
M.R. Pratak Rangsit, leader of Volkswagen Beetle lovers association, said, “This is the first time that we are participating in this sea preservation activity and there are a total of 80 Volkswagen Beetle cars in our group. Everybody is impressed with the measures and breeding procedures that the navy has implemented.”
He continued by saying that his crew will participate in environment al preservation activities like this again in the future if they are in-formed. In addition, he will also try to continue this project and will try to sign up more Volkswagen Lovers to help with the cause.
