Chaired by Mr. Weekit Manarojkit, the Banglamung District Chief, the meeting brought together representatives from various stakeholders, including venue operators, police stations, tourist police, and Pattaya council members.

 

The focus was to foster a collective understanding of safety measures for tourists and creating a positive image for Pattaya, the renowned tourist destination within the Banglamung district.

not only for entertainment  venues in Pattaya but it should be in fact all over the country and especially also for the temples. The temples with their activities are really producing too much noise, while in fact they should be a shelter for meditation and rest..But with a non enforcement policy and a refusing to change mentality people will gat ear damage and the sounds are only increasing

In one ear and out the other. Warnings don’t really help as we have seen over and over again. As long as the envelope is full they don’t have to worry about anything further happening.

What???!!! and destroy what seems to be the right of Thais to be loud and obnoxious... who doesn't love to fall asleep to the beat of the same music played at top volume over and over again... it puts everyone in a trance.  Not to mention the reduced sales of 10,000 watt amps and speakers that can be set up anywhere anytime

What silliness...... soi six is bedlam and finding a place you can chat over a beer is nigh impossible even in the quieter soi 7-8 area.

555   'renowned' if you don't sleep past midnight. What tourist wants to lay in bed and hear that THUMP THUMP THUMP till 4AM ?  Oh, don't forget the local Thai clubs that go till sun up.

What this place needs is a police force.

Fully agree with you. One of our neighbours used to constantly play loud noise at all times (I refrain from calling it music). It came to a head when they started up at 4am. I complained, neighbor threatened me with a machete., I informed the police and made a formal complaint. Neighbor received a visit from the local police chief (the husband is a lorry driver, nuff said). Noise has  stopped. They were the only people in our large village who did this. It is a significant minority who do this kind of thing, basically they are bullies asserting dominance. Most Thai's like peace and quiet too. Everything in its place I've been to quite a few rock concerts and enjoyed the loud 'music' but never took it home to annoy the neighbours. Nothing wrong with the occasional party making noise.

You can indoors quite well, say the Queen Vic. 

If people want a big fat bird soi 6,  that is your place.
