Pattaya police are preparing to tighten traffic security at the Pattaya Marathon on July 16-17.

 

Pol. Col. Ekkapop Inthawiwat, Deputy Commander of the Chonburi Provincial Police, said on Sunday, July 10th, that Chonburi police were preparing to tighten traffic security for the safety of runners at the 29th Pattaya Marathon 2022.

The officer also collaborated with the roadwork contractors who were currently on their job to remove barriers and construction tools from the road to deter potential harm to runners.

Think if i was a runner i'd want the barriers kept in place lest I fall down a big hole !

What is traffic security? Did something happen last year? Were a lot of vehicles stolen or broken into? Parking is still allowed on the seaward side of Beach Rd isn't it? 

More hot air from Pattaya Plod as they try to justify their existence.

B4 and B5 variants spreading rapidly and Pattaya continues to host festivals? Why????

Thanks. Looks like I'll be watching from my balcony and not far, far away. My Jomtien apartment is between Beach and 2nd Rd.  Boxed in.

Is there traffic at 4am? I live on the route but have never seen it. They are finished before anyone wakes up.

Very busy outside T21 mall today. Area best avoided.

I went jogging as usual along beach road around 5.30am, so watched the 10Km front-runners etc.  It was interesting that most of the participants had no identifying number pinned to their shirts, nothing at all! 

 

I could have joined in the race running immediately behind the 2 front-runners, (although I would probably have collapsed 100 metres further along, considering the pace that they were going at!).

All be over by the time my alarm goes off on a Sunday
