Pattaya — Pattaya authorities are taking proactive action to resolve the conflicts among speedboat operators that recently turned violent, tarnishing the tourism image of the city.

The violence arose on August 26th, at the Bali Hai Pier after two groups of speedboat operators could not agree on who would get to service tourists who wanted to travel to Koh Larn. The incident turned into a wild public brawl, which was recorded and later went viral on social media.

 

On August 31st, Mr. Phisit Sirisawadinukul, the District Chief of Banglamung, chaired a meeting to address the situation. Participants included Pol. Lt. Col. Thanapong Phothi, the Superintendent of Pattaya Police Station, Mr. Poramase Ngampiches, the Mayor of Pattaya City, and Mr. Ekkarat Khantharo, the Director of the Pattaya Regional Harbor Office, as well as other relevant Pattaya officials.
