And collecting tea money from every farang they can stop on the road and collect 400 baht. And the price night spots have to pay to show nudity or stay open late. What a joke.

HELL NO, THE BOSS OF THE JET SKI BANDITS JUST HAD A MEETING AT THE POLICE STATION.

"and every 300 meters Police Security Points will be set-up to assist tourists should they require it."

So the Jet-ski scammers don't have to walk so far to pay their tea money...

Definitely an improvement!

when it comes to meetings on how to improve safety for anyone in pattaya it is a case of the blind leading the blind .

Pattaya city motto should be "I've Got No Expectations".

They cleared WHOLE trees to improve visibility of CCTVs? It did not strike them that a gentle pruning may suffice or perhaps placing the CCTV lower than the foliage or in more strategic positions? It did not even cross their minds how other cities with CCTVs manage to do it with lovely tree lined streets?

Gee I feel safer already in the hands of such competent city administrators.

No, they are putting in "Tea Money Collection Stations " every 300 metres to save the police from having to walk to collect it.

How about the police actually doing something and leave the innocent trees alone.

The Police are brutal, have absolute control of the beach & can put a stop to the jet ski scammers in an instant. (if they wanted to).

Remember the kiddie porn being sold on the streets in the open?

Disappeared overnight when the Police Chief put the word out.
