Report Pattaya Powers Up Safety: Cracks Top 10 in Southeast Asia Safety Rankings
File photo for reference only Pattaya is celebrating a jump into the top 10 of the Southeast Asia Safety Index, credited largely to its expansion of CCTV coverage. Ranked ninth by the Numbeo index, this beachside city is making waves with its efforts to boost safety, trailing just behind Bangkok at seventh and led by Chiang Mai, which took the top spot. Numbeo, a Serbian online database renowned for its crowd-sourced quality of life metrics, has recognised Pattaya’s strides in safety. Mayor Poramet Ngampichet points to a declining crime rate and improved police efficiency as contributing factors to this enhanced reputation. Key to these efforts is the installation of over 2,000 CCTV cameras citywide, coupled with plans for enhanced safety measures, such as increased lighting and further public engagement in security oversight. While Pattaya continues to feature in headlines for criminal activities, Mayor Ngampichet insists they don't tell the whole story. The city is committed to changing this narrative by working directly with the Central Investigation Bureau to refine its use of CCTV technology for crime suppression. These steps are anticipated to help maintain the positive momentum acknowledged by the index. With its swelling tourist numbers, Pattaya accommodates a floating population that's several times larger than its registered 120,000 residents, presenting unique challenges in maintaining safety. The city's allure continues to draw vast numbers, seeing 20 million Thai and international visitors last year alone. By prioritising a reduction in crime and accidents, Pattaya City Hall is dedicated to solidifying the city as a secure destination. Mayor Ngampichet asserts that expanding safety improvements will remain a focal point, aiming for a future where crime is a rarity. This renewed emphasis on safety aligns smoothly with City Hall's policy goals, boosting Pattaya's appeal as a haven for leisure and living. The drive for safer streets doesn't stop with technology; an emphasis on public participation in security checks is part of the plan. With the support and vigilance of both locals and tourists, Pattaya hopes to further enhance its safe-city status and usher in an era of greater security for all who visit or reside there.

Tourism Cambodia Outshines Thailand in Race for Chinese Tourists
Thailand still don't got it.The article says it costs 39$ to get a e-visa to Cambodia.That dollars u get back already when u enter a hotel or a bar because its much cheaper then the overpriced Thailand with the sick high thai baht. And what about tourists safety?What about dual pricing?What about the street fighting in Phuket and Pattaya? What about the scams?Taximafia all over Thailand.I took a taxi from BKK to hua-hin and the driver used his private car because of the taxi mafia in hua-hin.What about all the property foreigner loosing in Thailand?What about the frozen accounts that just happened in Bangkok bank.. the rest banks will follow soon.I had a account in Thailand years ago and when i arrived Bangkok it was closed.I only lost about 1500 baht but it irritated me.I had a prepaid thai number on AIS.I had about 1800 baht in balance.Now its gone because they cancelled my number last month and i want get the money back.Of course there is positive things about Thailand but they pricing themselves out compared to neighbor countries.
