Pattaya Police launch cake tin appeal

Region 2 Police are using seven rules to clean up and crackdown on Pattaya entertainment venues, including strict enforcement of legal closing times.

Major General Nantawut Suwanlaong, Acting of the Chonburi Provincial Police Commander told the Pattaya News on November 18th, 2022, at a major meeting with the press, Pattaya City officials, and bar owners “In Banglamung district there are in total 1,329 registered entertainment venues and restaurants selling alcohol. There are many incidents and chaos that have happened in Pattaya recently which have caused public nuisances. The Region 2 Police is now directly strictly enforcing seven regular rules and have stepped in to enforce the rules in Pattaya.”
The rules are:

No allowing underage users below 20 to enter bar and entertainment venues.
No selling alcohol to underage users below 20 in any venues including restaurants.
Entertainment venues must be shut and all customers gone by legal closing times, currently between midnight to 2AM depending on zone.
Selling alcohol over the legal time is prohibited at all venues.
Allowing weapons and illegal drugs into entertainment venues is prohibited
Allowing human trafficking in entertainment venues is prohibited.
Allowing illegal gambling in any venue is prohibited.

“We are enforcing all these rules in Pattaya. Pattaya must be clear of underage users at entertainment venues, human trafficking, weapons, drugs, and overstaying foreigners.” Nantawut added.

As for overstaying foreigners, Nantawut warned that police would be inspecting documents and passports of tourists to ensure they were not overstaying and encouraged all tourists to at the bare minimum have a legible copy of their recent documentation including their passport stamps with them at all times.

“From now on, at 1:00 A.M. every single day dozens of police and relevant officers are patrolling to enforce these seven rules and encourage venues to close on time every day. I am personally patrolling myself every Friday and Saturday to ensure the legal closing times are obeyed.” Nantawut said.

“If any venue operator is found breaking these rules, they will face legal action and will be suggested for permanent closure. If they cannot follow these seven rules, zoning rules, or opening hours, Region 2 police will oppose any proposal to extend hours or adjust entertainment zones in Pattaya currently at review in the Thai Cabinet.” Nantawut concluded.

In a third world country where corruption is endemic and the rule of law is as negotiable as a whore’s tariff, in a city where the head of police took a bribe to see that the wrong men were convicted of a serious offence, in a region where hypocrisy and peculation is the lingua franca of trade and governance, yeah, I’m sure this latest initiative will be sustained for all of at least a …….week.

Still, it is amusing to hear his nonsense that there will be dozens of police patrolling the district to enforce this new regime. The only significant presence of police that has been discernible to the casual observer resident here in Pattaya and environs over the past decade are the clumps of officers who mount roadside traffic enforcement harvesting fines off tourists and of course, pre-covid, the police “volunteers” negotiating conflict between the drunken, the stupid and the merely clueless tourists.

You should really finish each post with "*sob*".

They would be far more compelling.

its just another of barry's humour fails. he must think the police probably collect their bribes in cake tins.

s.a. is of course spot on with his assessment.

the thai police have been deprived of "funds" for the past couple of years and as they will have gambling and other debts to pay off, minor wives to shower with gifts and expensive cars to maintain, so squeezing the sudden influx of tourists will provide them with a reliable and easy to obtain income stream.

bullied and confused tourists will be only too happy to hand over 500b or more to avoid the guaranteed intimidation they would be subject to when they are unable to show their visa or passport to groups of aggressive looking police officers with but a rudimentary command of either manners or language.

the thai claim that the country is open and will welcome tourists to experience the hospitality, wonders and joy of the kingdom was no more than an hollow promise. tourists in thailand are no more than cash cows, subjected to being milked and misled at every opportunity as they suffer the pains of double pricing, unregulated and grasping operators, a corrupt police force and the duplicitous immigration department.

"sob"

I believe the proper terminology is "sin nam jai".
