webfact Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Street Vendors, Beggars and Homeless Targeted in Pattaya City CleanupStory by Albert JackPATTAYA: -- A meeting was held at Pattaya City Hall on July 7, chaired by Mr. Sethaphol Boonsawad, to discuss organisation and discipline at Pattaya Beach.On the agenda were new rules to control street vendors, kitchen side-car motorcycles, the homeless and beggars along the length of Beach Road and Walking Street.The meeting concluded that the current ‘unorganised chaos’ is annoying to tourists and harms Pattaya’s image and so affects the tourist trade. Which is all that matters.

sharecropper Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Good - if they can do it. Around 2 or 3am on Walking Street and Marine Plaza there are more child beggars than patrons weaving their way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you call those things you put on horses so they can't see what is going besides them? Oh yes, blinders/blinkers...someone must of bought a few for the council members.

MonkeySee1 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 oh yeah, just kids that are begging on the street, we dont give a toss but if its making tourists stay away, get the dog catcher to take them away Well it's progress. A few years ago these kids would have been tucked up in bed with visiting paedos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenKadz Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Good Luck to the authorities. It has taken about 50 years (Vietnam R&R village) for Pattaya to get into this condition. Recon it will be another 50 years to get out of this condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 oh yeah, just kids that are begging on the street, we dont give a toss but if its making tourists stay away, get the dog catcher to take them away After living some years in Thailand and seeing which conditions of living are behind these children beggars and other beggars, I can tell you the vast majority of them is begging because their family decided against hard work to get out of poverty. "who not have wants to have" as it was explained to me. yet many businesses would be happy to pay in excess of 20.000 baht a month for loyal, honest, hard working and skilled staff. go figure. so yes, I think it is a good thing the government wants them taken off the streets.

Pattaya28 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 What about all the vendors on public land on the steps outside Royal Garden now ? And the alcohol van / 20 - 30 seats / tables outside Royal Garden, again on public land. Footway is blocked. Entrance on Beach Rd to Beer Garden blocked too, with food vendors. Somehow all of this will not be policed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I drove down Beach Rd Wednesday night and can report the area was completely cleaned up of street vendors, kitchen side-car motorcycles, the homeless and beggars, and also katoeys and ladies of the night. So they have been successful! There was also a torrential rainstorm. How often have we heard this drivel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnybay Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Do some real good, and ban loudspeaker advertising cars/vans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Do some real good, and ban loudspeaker advertising cars/vans Yes, they cause traffic movement problems, but so do food-carts, baht buses that stop where they like, coaches doing similar. Don't expect to drive Beach Rd and move along smoothly, nor 2nd Rd, nor 3rd Rd, nor Klang, nor Tai etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
