Koh Larn to have CCTV system

City hall is to install 45 CCTV sets on Koh Larn for the safety and security of tourists and the local community.

Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh, speaking at a meeting of city councilors and administrators along with representatives of Pattaya’s 27 communities at the Grand Sole Hotel on August 28, said this was all part of the policy of utilizing CCTV throughout the city to enhance the safety of everyone. The cameras will be placed at popular tourism spots including Thonglang Beach, Tawaen Beach, Sangwan Beach, Tian Beach, Samae Beach, Nual Beach, Na Ban Pier, View Point Hill, and the Koh Larn Office.

The installation of a CCTV center between Tawaen Beach and Samae Beach is currently being studied. This project comes under the 2007 budget, and Ronakit said even allowing for the time taken to receive and evaluate contractor tenders, it is still hoped the cameras will be in situ before the end of this year.
