Chaos on Pattaya Beach: Alcohol-Fueled Brawls Raise Safety Concerns

Pattaya Beach, famed for its nightlife, is facing rising alcohol-fueled brawls among tourists, raising concerns for public safety and the city’s reputation. Clashes, often near bars and clubs, have led to frequent police interventions and disrupted the peace for locals and visitors. To address the issue, authorities have increased patrols, enforced stricter alcohol regulations, and proposed designated drinking zones. A recent incident involved a Thai man attacking a Swiss tourist during a heated pool game dispute. Officials urge tourists to "party hard, but respect harder" to preserve the city’s allure and safety.
