Pattaya tightens security for New Year’s

PATTAYA:--Authorities plan to tighten security across Pattaya to ensure everyone has a happy New Year’s celebration.

 

Pol. Maj. Jirawat Sukontasap, head of the city hall’s municipal police, told the Pattaya Business & Tourism Association meeting Dec. 13 at the Green Park Hotel that checkpoints will be set up across the city to search for weapons and drugs, and to breathalyze drivers to prevent drunk driving.

 

Service tables also will be set up in busy areas such as Walking Street, Bali Hai Pier and Beach Road where tourists can obtain info or report problems.

 

Marine Department Director Eakarat Kantaro said sea rescue squads will be on standby around the clock to respond to emergencies at sea via the 199 emergency number. The department, he added, has coordinated its response with the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation and local hospitals.

What kind of info, do tourist need to obtain!!

What are you reading please fakename? Because you've completely misquoted that which was written in the third paragraph above.

Writing as someone involved with the hospitality industry here, tourists love "info" which provides useful advice about things to do, good and or cheap places to eat, special events, etc., etc., and so I for one applaud Pol. Maj. Jirawat Sukontasap's efforts to assist all guests who visit Pattaya and to make them feel welcome. 

Pattaya police co-opted into their annual work fest.  It never lasts more than a week then it's back to the strenuous lifting of brown envelopes.
