Pattaya – The Pattaya Police have intensely begun patrolling Pattaya Beach at night after several teenagers and young adults had altercations in front of the Pattaya Police Station.

After midnight Saturday (October 1st), a team from the Pattaya City Police was patrolling Pattaya Beach and checked for firearms and illegal drugs to prevent any chaos and crime. However, no illegal items were found.

 

 

Police also informed both Thais and foreigners who were relaxing on the beach, some drinking alcohol, that this was illegal.

Nice, so they just lookout the cop shop window.

All ok, so back to Line, Face book, porno surfing.

Didn't know this ... what is illegal ? Relaxing on a beach or drinking alcohol ? Or both ?

My first thought.

Like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound, they'll do it for few days and will report to their superiors that all is well and we're done here...

Alcohol on the beach is.

What sort of 'premium' tourist country has beer police  cracking down on you after your 12 hour flight and the start of you relaxing on the beach ?

Translated this means a walk round the station car park looking seawards.

Happiness is illegal.

Clearly the new police chief is putting the police resources where they will do most good. One can only applaud this before he changes tack and has a crack down on old ladies growing hemp.

Be great if they gave large fines for leaving empty alcohol bottles and cans on the beach after drinking them.

 

Lot's of broken glass and other litter compounds the filthy beaches of Pattaya and Jomptien.

Is it illegal to lounge and drink a beer you were sold by a beach chair vendor? Or, is it illegal to bring your own beer and sit on the sand and drink?
