Aggressive Foreign Vendors in Pattaya Threaten City Image Ahead of Major Festivals

Featured Replies

Pattaya — Foreign vendors in Pattaya, some carrying young children, are aggressively trying to sell items like flowers and candy to tourists, sparking concerns about the city’s image ahead of the upcoming Loy Krathong and International Fireworks Festival.


At around 4:00 AM on November 12th, The Pattaya News reporters observed groups of foreign individuals, believed to be of Vietnamese origin, along Walking Street in South Pattaya and Soi Phettrakhoon.

 

These individuals were seen carrying young children, from newborns to about seven-year-old children, and approaching tourists to sell goods. Some even became frustrated or verbally insulted tourists if they refused to buy.


Several individuals were engaging in these behaviors, and it was believed that they were using children to evoke sympathy from tourists, leading some to buy their goods or, in some cases, give money out of pity without taking anything in return.

 

When the group noticed they were being recorded, some responded angrily to the reporters and quickly moved to other areas, showing no fear of the local law.

That is why so many die on the roads daily.  There is no  law in Pattaya except when money is to be made or a photo-op is available.

Aggressive vending is an occupation reserved for Thais 😉

They the Thai Tourist board keep on about the Image of Pattaya being affected 

By bad publicity 😱

What planet are they on 😭

You beat me to it... 

Had a great day at Cha-am north beach a couple of weeks ago.. weather was great, the breeze was light, the water was warm

The only annoyance was the constant parade of vendors stopping by my side trying to sell stuff.

The BiB are too busy sleeping it off at 4am or 4pm come to that.

 

No proactive policing, only eventually if the noise is big enough, reactive policing as has been their modus operandi for decades.
