Pattaya panel suggests more funding for traffic, drug prevention

Jeerasak Jatupong, director of Pattaya’s Peace and Security Maintenance Department, calls the budget allocated to drug-use prevention among youths insufficient.

 

PATTAYA:--Traffic, road accidents and drug use among youths were the top issues that need more focus in Pattaya’s four-year development plan, city leaders agreed at a Jan. 23 Strategy and Budget Committee meeting.

 

Deputy Mayor Sukwat Suksawat chaired the session with city council members Saksit Yaemsri and Choluek Chotekamjorn, community leaders and department chiefs to discuss amendments to the 2017-2021 development plan adopted last year.

 

Administrators agreed more emphasis needs to be placed on improving traffic and road accidents, particularly on Koh Larn. Poor driving by both private motorists and motorcycle taxis was cited, as well as the role of dilapidated roads in road accidents.

Just get the Police off their arse's to do their job properly and enforce the laws of the country.    Shouldn't need to spend any more money to do that as they are all paid and making money from a thousand different scams already.

yes ..I slipped through a check point unscathed  just yesterday...what up.!!

Traffic, buses, wrong way drivers and such. All begging for action. Take the Prahtamnak 5-points as an example. Chaotic, dangerous and lawless. Right under the noses of the policebox of complacency.

Sure this is not a mistyped memo? 

Seems an decrease regarding vehicle traffic efficiency and an increase with regards to drugs trafficking has been the latest trend.

In the course of this last weekend, driving each evening, I lost count of the number of high speed bikes with no lights; souped up bullying pick-up drivers  changing lanes with abandon; I saw one police patrol with flashing lights obviously on its way to the inevitable accident.

Trainman above called it right; January death figures all point to police inactivity after dark.
