The peaceful atmosphere of Jomtien Beach in Pattaya was disturbed by unlawful fireworks last night. Local authorities quickly responded to complaints about noise pollution from residents and arrested three sellers of the illegal fireworks.

 

The identities of these individuals have not been shared. They were caught selling fireworks at The Now Hotel, a practice that not only disrupts the peace but also poses safety hazards.

 

After being arrested, the trio were taken from the beach to a police station in a pickup truck. They are currently facing charges linked with the illegal sale of fireworks.

 

A local resident noted to a reporter that the fireworks, though beautiful, are dangerous and disruptive. "They endanger public safety and disturb the peace," the resident said.

 

Along with this action, local officials conducted surprise checks on teenagers on the beach to ensure no illegal substances were being carried. No such substances were found, according to Pattaya News.

 

The arrest of the fireworks vendors is part of an ongoing initiative by the police to preserve peace on Jomtien Beach. Given the recent increase in noise complaints from residents, local law enforcement has upped patrols. This proactive strategy is designed to ensure beachgoers can enjoy their surroundings without disturbance.

 

One officer stated, "We've increased patrols on Jomtien Beach to maximize enjoyment for everyone by maintaining peace and tranquility."

 

Meanwhile, increased police presence has also been reported at Patong Beach in Phuket, targeting illegal fireworks. This initiative, which started on May 1, has already led to the arrest of three individuals, including a New Zealander.

Didn't they arrest a (Canadian?) foreigner last week for letting off fireworks?
Makes a change that this time they actually used some common sense and arrested the people selling them.

Maybe because there were no foreigners that had bought them this time!

If they don't like the noise they should also have a look at all the cars and motorbikes with illegal exhaust systems driving around jomtien beach road and Thappraya road

One reason electric vehicles unlikely to catch on here  with the young males... no exhaust to modify!
