In a decisive move to bolster Pattaya's reputation as a safe, drug-free destination, officials launched a late-night operation targeting entertainment venues. The joint effort, led by Mr. Nattapob Yomjinda, Deputy District Chief of Banglamung, alongside Police Lieutenant Colonel Suchart Dusadee, Deputy Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, aimed to curb illegal activities that could tarnish the city's image.

 

The operation kicked off at T25 Beer & Bistro Pattaya near Soi Thappraya 3, with authorities diligently inspecting liquor licences, venue permits, and patrons' IDs. They also conducted random drug tests but found no illegal substances or activities.

 

Next stop was Sangkasi 90 on Pattaya Third Road, a popular PR-style venue. Here, officers ensured the lights were turned on and music ceased to facilitate thorough checks. Once again, no violations were discovered.

 

This meticulous operation is part of a broader initiative led by the Ministry of Interior, under the guidance of Deputy Prime Minister and Acting Prime Minister Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, who also serves as Minister of Interior. The “No Drugs, No Dealers” policy mandates provinces to implement measures to foster drug-free communities, employing four key strategies to address drug-related issues.

 

These inspections not only aim to suppress illegal activities but also enhance tourist confidence in Pattaya’s safety. By promoting a secure environment, officials hope to elevate Pattaya’s status as a world-class, family-friendly tourism destination.

 

This proactive approach underscores a commitment to maintaining Pattaya's allure while ensuring the well-being of both residents and visitors. Through these efforts, the city hopes to continue attracting tourists from around the globe, convinced of its reputation as a safe and vibrant holiday spot.

🤣🤣🤣

Again?

There they go hitting up the very businesses that generate the earnings the town makes while outside the thieving ladyboys, terrible driving standards and lack of pedestrian ways, items that really deter tourists, go unchecked!

IT all sounds very good, but there is a lack of one thing......a working policeforce...as long as the RTP is too lazy and corrupt and no laws are being enforced, in Pattaya or wherever in Thailand, all efforts to make things better will not work. It just starts with enforcing the law, 24 hours a day 7 days a week... and not a few days a crackdown and than everything is back to normal, people can do as they were used to do before...Inspections of venues are being announced, and after the inspections nothing will happen anymore as the police is being bribed and even bribing is allowed,as the officers want to have more luxury lives.....So nice words but it will only be words

That photo is how old? I suspect circa 2015.

No tourists will come to a country where their evenings out are interrupted by police with drug tests.

OK...so this is just another "rate" increase for Pattaya operators that will need to be paid to guess who?

~50,000 bar girls in the region, and the cops pretend they want to stamp out "illegal" activities.....:))

Meanwhile on the roads the daily slaughter continues because there is no policing; even the recent helmet crackdown has died its inevitable death.

Maybe they should send in the military to arrest all the Thai gang members and the influential people who run criminal networks.  It should not be difficult, they are generally well known.

Same old optics. 100% they stayed away from the places that supply nice fat brown paper bags.

Meanwhile thousands of shops sell weed to enhance the "city's image".

I stopped reading because i fell off my chair when i read the line " World class family friendly destination " who writes this stuff? They should be on TV 

Why don’t they take a week to determine which of the operating clubs are actually licensed instead of discovering problems when there is a raid.

This so called crack down is posted every few weeks.

Repetitive.

This statement is becoming as regular as bus crashes .

Crimnoy I am aging. I recall, in 1999, the Pattaya Mail  had a picture of Beach Road that said PATTAYA IS CLEARED OF ELEPHANTS & PROSTITUTES.

 

I enjoyed the elephants.

Pattaya could be renamed Fantasyland, where actual reality is not common. You can pay for your (and their) fantasy, just don't get comfortable believing it.

That was enough, before the morning coffee fried the inside of my mouth. Living in reality just ain´t a thing for these guys. Probably why so many say they are living the dream.

They obviously didn't make their monthly payment. 

''In a decisive move to bolster Pattaya's reputation as a safe, drug-free destination,'' and I say: good luck with that, but keep in minds that most of those tourists are BECAUSE of the slutty image of Pattaya.

Neither safe nor drug free. Never has been, and never will be. But then, is anywhere as safe or drug free as some want.

with these actions they get the opposite effect! who's going to like it when police can invade a restaurant, turn off music and interrogate and check customers...

they have no idea how to approach this matter...

meanwhile Vietnam has canceled visas for sev Euro countries...

and Tland keeps on crying about declining tourist numbers... 

you reap what you sow!

Time to remove the 2nd Army from the border of Cambodia and station it in Pattaya.

Pattaya’s main attraction is crack. 
 

If you take away the yaba it will be impossible for those poor girls to dance all night long on the chrome poles displaying their cracks. 

👮‍♂️🚔 Aiiiii Farang!  Stop!  No Fun For You.  No drink. No boom-boom. No stay longer than 15 days.  You can only go to Buddhist Temple and bow and give temple money.  Than get out.


GOOD MORNING VIETNAM

No mass shootings, generally everyone having the time of their lives, mountains of money flowing in and feeding out to the rest of the country. 
 

Naked girls dancing everywhere, beer flowing.

 

You must be Christian.
