Governor Sophon Suwannarat chaired a meeting at the Phuket Provincial Hall on Thursday (May 1) to prepare for the royal visit.
The meeting brought together key agencies including the Phuket Provincial Police; the Royal Thai Navy Third Area Command, which is based at Cape Panwa; and the Phuket branch of the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC), along with other relevant sectors.
The Princess’s visit aims to support and encourage ongoing efforts under the ‘To Be Number One’ project, which promotes drug prevention and youth empowerment.
In preparation, Phuket provincial officials have formed a special reception committee under Provincial Order No. 4148/2025.
The committee is divided into several sub-groups, each tasked with overseeing different aspects of the visit.
These include planning for activities, accommodation, safety, healthcare, logistics, royal gifts, food and public relations.
Their joint objective is to ensure a smooth, secure and respectful reception for Her Royal Highness, said an official report of the meeting.
The ‘To Be Number One Friend Center’ will serve as a supportive space for young people, helping to reinforce the Princess’s long-standing commitment to youth development across Thailand.
