Officials promise crackdown on Beach Road vehicle-rental agents

n3car2.jpg

PATTAYA:--Pattaya-area officials have pledged to crack down on vehicle-rental booths taking up precious Beach Road and sidewalk real estate.

Pattaya Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh and Banglamung District Chief Sakchai Taengho met with Chonburi Land Transportation Department, police, regulatory-enforcement officers and operators of minibuses, taxis and motorbike- and car-rental agents July 9.

The meeting was called following long-running complaints about bike- and car-rental agents blocking Beach Road sidewalks and parking spaces with tables and vehicles. Area officials announced they would begin cracking down on the makeshift businesses, clearing off sidewalks and freeing parking spaces.

yeah, and look .................there is a flying pig!

What do you call a herd of flying pigs?

Yeah, the day they sort all that out there will be flying pigs too.

It is definitely no fun trying to negotiate the path along beach road.

Hell will freeze over first...

It is my understanding that anybody operating a business on the footpath and street are paying the police or city officials.

Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh, District Chief Sakchai Taengho, the Land Transportation Department, police & regulatory-enforcement officers all know this.

I believe they would crack down, issue and receive few dozen fines and be satisfied till the next year crack down.

Why do not they also crack down on motorcycle taxi's who take up space and do not allow anyone to park even though its empty

What about actually issuing fines and towing double parked cars and bikes?

Why a pointless "crack down"?

All that is needed is a straightforward out and out total ban, with instant vehicle confiscation for any offender.

I don't understand why these reports of government or city officials making promises continually appear in the News Forum - they rightfully belong in the Jokes Forum. whistling.gif

I couldn't agree more. There also should be a 'Pointing Pic' Then we would know it's real

Pattaya police are dripping in gold according to my wife. They pay hundreds of thousands of baht to be transferred here and make it all back within the year. Latest hearsay is the motor-bike gold snatchers work for the police in return for a slapped wrist if caught by accident.

To be honest , the amount of 'Crackdowns' in Pattaya makes you wonder how there is time for anything else for our Officials to do anything else

...and in the end we find that Thailand prefers talk much more than they prefer results.

Now I understand that this post is lengthy, but it merely points out that when one puts all these headlines into list form and reads them, it becomes amazingly clear that a lot of newsprint and megabytes used up to report what Thais "crack down" on and "vow" to do, and get "urged" towards is nothing more than a waste of everyone's time.

Yet again... perhaps the only redeeming factor is that this points out that they are all liars and procrastinators in the cottage industry of, how did Mark Knopfler sing it, ..."Money for nothing, and your chicks for free".

They will clean that up right after the jet ski problem is taken care of.
