Rimmer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Officials promise crackdown on Beach Road vehicle-rental agents 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.

DiNiro Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 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.

lemoncake Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 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?

KittenKong Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Why a pointless "crack down"? All that is needed is a straightforward out and out total ban, with instant vehicle confiscation for any offender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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".
