Pattaya City sanitation officers clean up concrete debris on South Pattaya Road and prepare to fine the responsible operator. PATTAYA, Thailand – The Waste Control Division of the Natural Resources and Environment Office has completed the cleanup and removal of concrete debris that had fallen onto the road surface on South Pattaya Road. The incident was reported to Pattaya City officials, who used surveillance footage to track down the responsible operator. Authorities confirmed that the operator who caused the debris to fall has been identified and will face fines. Coordination is underway with the Policy and Planning Division and municipal enforcement officers to proceed with the penalty. Residents and local observers have expressed their gratitude toward the Pattaya municipal officers for their prompt action in enforcing the law and maintaining Pattaya’s reputation as a world-renowned tourist city known for its cleanliness and orderliness. Some locals also suggested that further improvements could be made by relocating power lines underground and increasing urban greenery. The municipal team continues to receive public support for their ongoing efforts to keep the city safe and attractive. Residents are encouraged to report similar issues by contacting the Pattaya City hotline at 1337.

Pattaya remains calm and unaffected despite looming storms impacting other parts of Thailand. (Photo by Jetsada Homklin) PATTAYA, Thailand – While other parts of Thailand are bracing for unpredictable weather conditions, Pattaya remains largely unaffected, with skies clear and winds calm. Despite widespread alerts and patchy thunderstorms across the country, the popular coastal city on the Eastern Seaboard continues to enjoy relatively stable weather. According to the Meteorological Department, upper Thailand is experiencing light rainfall due to a weakening southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. A low-pressure cell covering northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin is contributing to unsettled conditions elsewhere, but Pattaya and its surrounding areas have so far avoided disruption. The Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand are both seeing weak wind and wave activity. While isolated thunderstorms are expected in some coastal zones, waves are only 1–2 meters high in the upper Andaman Sea, increasing beyond 2 meters in areas with thunderstorm activity. However, no such threats have been reported in Pattaya, and marine operations remain normal. In contrast, Bangkok and the surrounding provinces are seeing a 20% chance of thunderstorms. The north and northeast regions are also expected to experience scattered showers, while the eastern and southern coastal areas continue to monitor unstable maritime conditions. Yet, none of these warnings currently apply to Pattaya, where local businesses and tourism activities continue uninterrupted. Local authorities advise residents and tourists to remain informed but not alarmed, as no specific alerts have been issued for Chonburi province.

Raids in Jomtien’s Soi 2 lead to drug arrestsLegacyIn the late evening of August 1, a coordinated raid was conducted in the Jomtien Soi 2 community of Nongprue, Banglamung district, Chon Buri. The operation was led by Deputy Superintendent Arut Saphanont, Deputy Inspector Prasitboon Bunprasit, and the Narcotics Suppression Unit, in collaboration with Banglamung district administrative officials Nathaphop Yomjinda, Tharit Chancharoon, and Natthawat Sophonsewatsilp. This initiative was part of Pattaya City Police Chief Anek Sarathongyoo and Banglamung District Chief Patcharapatch Srithanyanon’s anti-drug policy, supporting the government’s NO Drugs No Dealers campaign aimed at dismantling drug networks throughout the country. The operation was set into motion following a tip-off about a group of youths involved in drug trafficking within the community. As a result, four people were apprehended and quantities of narcotics were seized. The suspects were identified as Nanthasak, known as Pae, found with 7.3 grammes of crystal meth and one methamphetamine pill; Naphatsakorn, referred to as Ji, caught with five meth pills and 0.4 grammes of ice; Pansak, known as San, in possession of eight meth pills and 6.3 grammes of ice; and Wuttipong, called To, who was intercepted whilst delivering drugs to Pansak. In addition to these arrests, random urine tests conducted within the community identified eight people who tested positive for drug use. All those involved were taken into custody for further investigation. Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News The raid unfolded under a tense atmosphere as some suspects pleaded for leniency, with one person requesting officers to release their partner and take full responsibility themselves. Following the operation, all suspects were handed over to Pattaya City Police Station investigators to proceed with legal actions. Officials have pledged to intensify their efforts to eradicate drug trafficking activities within the area, reported The Pattaya News. Jomtien’s Soi 2 has been a problematic zone for some time now, regularly targeted by law enforcement for raids and actions. Despite initial searches yielding no results, possibly due to prior warnings, officials returned later in the day, leading to the successful seizure and arrests.

Pattaya police fined 17 vendors selling on public roads without permits, easing traffic congestion. PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya police carried out a late-night inspection along Beach Road after rising public complaints about street vendors using motorbike sidecars to sell food and goods directly on public roads—congesting traffic and frustrating both locals and tourists on August 1. The enforcement operation, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Phanuphong Nimsuwan of Pattaya City Police Station, resulted in 17 vendors being fined 500 baht each for parking illegally and obstructing roadways. But the spotlight quickly turned to one case in particular: a 22-year-old Vietnamese national, identified as Ho The Khoi, was caught operating a grilled pork sidecar business without a work permit. Authorities charged him for working in a protected occupation reserved for Thai citizens under the Royal Decree on the Management of Foreign Workers. He now faces a fine of 5,000–10,000 baht and deportation from Thailand. The case has fueled simmering public anger over what many see as selective enforcement and ineffective oversight, particularly in Pattaya and surrounding areas like Sattahip. Locals were quick to point out that while a few arrests are made from time to time, foreign vendors are still openly running dozens—if not hundreds—of stalls across markets and beaches. Many claimed that ice cream carts, grilled skewer stalls, and insect snack vendors are frequently operated by non-Thais who seem to work without fear of inspection, leading to suspicions about informal protection networks and under-the-table payments. Vietnamese grilled pork seller arrested for working illegally in a job reserved for Thai nationals. “There are entire morning markets where Burmese and Cambodian vendors dominate the food stalls,” one local commented earlier this week, with others pointing to night markets and beach zones where “entire communities of foreign workers” have seemingly established themselves in the open. Sattahip’s street food scene was cited repeatedly as an example where foreign-run stalls outnumber Thai vendors, especially during popular Wednesday and Friday markets. Complaints were not limited to legality. Some expressed concern over the quality and authenticity of food sold by non-Thai vendors, alleging that it hurts the image of Thai cuisine. Runway Market was called out specifically for “ruining the reputation of Thai food” due to poor taste and unhygienic preparation. Locals complain foreign vendors dominate markets, hurting Thai businesses and food quality. Meanwhile, skepticism runs high about the effectiveness of current efforts. Locals described the fines as temporary and ineffective, with arrested vendors returning to the same spots within days. “Catch them 100 times and they’ll be back on the same corner,” one said. Others suggested enforcement only happens when vendors refuse to pay bribes, with some directly accusing officers of taking under-the-table payments in exchange for blind eyes. This latest sweep—while making headlines—has done little to quiet growing calls for consistent enforcement and better immigration oversight. As the city attempts to polish its image for tourists and reassert public order, residents are increasingly asking a simple question: who really controls the streets and markets of Pattaya? Residents demand stricter enforcement as many illegal vendors return despite fines.

Pattaya officials enforce a 15-day suspension on a beach chair operator accused of illegally reserving public parking and harassing tourists. PATTAYA, Thailand — A beach chair vendor on Pattaya Beach has been slapped with a 15-day business suspension after repeated complaints that they were illegally reserving public parking for paying customers and intimidating visitors who refused to rent chairs. The punishment, issued under Clause 43.1 of the city’s sanitation and order regulations, follows a formal complaint by a Thai tourist who said they were waved away when attempting to park near the beach. “We just wanted to enjoy a walk along the shore,” the tourist wrote. “But someone stopped us and said the whole area was for customers only. Since when is public beachfront parking private?” Pattaya City inspectors confirmed the incident and shut down the vendor’s operations from August 1 to August 15. City officials now monitor the area to ensure compliance. But the punishment, widely publicized this week, has sparked an even bigger wave of local anger — not at the city, but at a system many see as long overdue for reform. “Fifteen days? They’ll just open again like nothing happened,” wrote one Jomtien resident online. “They’ve been doing this for years. It’s about time the city acted — but this is just a slap on the wrist,” said another. Visitors report aggressive behavior from some beach vendors who block parking spaces unless customers rent chairs. Many comments echoed a growing frustration among both Thai visitors and local expats who say beachfront operators behave as if they own public land. “They put out chairs and cones and block off the whole curbside like it’s theirs,” said a domestic tourist from Nakhon Pathom. “One even shouted at my elderly parents when they didn’t rent a chair,” added a Bangkok woman. “They just wanted to sit under a tree.” Several longtime visitors said they’ve stopped going to Jomtien altogether, preferring beaches like Dongtan or Sattahip, where chair operators are fewer, quieter, and more respectful. “In Sattahip, I bring my own mat and sit peacefully under a tree. No one hassles me. No one claims the sand is theirs,” said a retired teacher from Rayong. “I’d rather drive 20 minutes more than deal with this again.” Jomtien Beach parking areas often controlled by private operators, frustrating tourists and locals alike. Some comments went further, calling for structural change: clear signage, assigned chair zones, enforcement patrols — and public awareness of complaint channels. “Put up signs with rules and the city complaint hotline — 1337 — right on the beach,” one expat recommended. “This isn’t hard: mark official chair areas, fine anyone who blocks public parking. Let the beach breathe again.” Others defended the idea of beach services but said the problem lies in monopolistic, aggressive attitudes. “We’re not against chairs. We’re against being treated like intruders if we don’t pay up,” said a local café owner. “Let them earn money — but not by scaring people off,” said a mother who recalled being yelled at for letting her child sit on the sand near unoccupied chairs. For now, the suspended vendor will remain off the beach until mid-August. But many hope this is just the beginning of a wider push to return Pattaya’s public spaces to the people. “We love Pattaya,” one Thai tourist wrote. “But we’re tired of being told where we can and can’t sit on our own beach.” Residents and visitors can report future incidents through Pattaya City Call Center: 1337. City authorities urge the public to report violations to help restore fair access to Pattaya’s public beach areas.

Despite the sunshine, Pattaya’s beaches have thinned as cancellations ripple from border towns to major tourist hubs. (Photo by Jetsada Homklin) PATTAYA, Thailand – As tensions flare along the Thai–Cambodian border, the shockwaves are being felt far beyond frontline provinces. Pattaya, one of Thailand’s flagship beach destinations, is now grappling with a sudden drop in tourist confidence, business momentum, and booking numbers as fears ripple across the country. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has reported severe tourism impacts in the eastern and northeastern regions following the July 25–28 border crisis. Border towns like Aranyaprathet in Sa Kaeo Province saw hotel bookings fall to zero. In Trat, all hotel bookings were canceled in Cambodia-adjacent districts, while island destinations like Ko Chang, Ko Mak, and Ko Kood faced cancellations of up to 60 percent. Farther north in Ubon Ratchathani, Surin, and Sisaket, group tours were called off almost entirely, with occupancy limited to reporters and relief personnel. The fallout didn’t stop there. Major destinations including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket saw waves of trip cancellations, some of which were directly linked to the situation along the border. Phuket alone lost over 500 roomnights during the affected period, with 63 of those traced specifically to the unrest. While some of those destinations have rebounded with new bookings, places like Pattaya remain fragile. TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaiboon said the agency is working with urgency, monitoring the situation through both domestic and international offices and coordinating with other government bodies to reassure tourists. “Psychological impact spreads quickly,” she said. “We are launching campaigns to restore confidence and provide real-time updates about safety and preparedness.” In Pattaya, business owners say the damage isn’t just psychological—it’s financial. Beach vendors, nightlife operators, and hoteliers have all reported a cooling in visitor flow just as the city hoped to turn a corner after months of recovery efforts. With its high dependence on both domestic weekend travelers and international group tours, Pattaya is now considered a priority in the national tourism recovery plan. Officials are weighing a mix of strategies to revive the city, including safety reassurance campaigns, flexible travel promotions, and coordinated itineraries with nearby provinces less affected by the crisis. Visible signs of order—like lifeguards, clean beaches, and active law enforcement—are seen as crucial for restoring public confidence. While the border may be calm again, the shock to Thailand’s tourism heartlands has revealed just how interconnected—and vulnerable—the sector remains. For Pattaya, the next few weeks may determine whether the city regains its momentum or slips further into a slow season shaped more by fear than facts. TAT Governor Thapanee leads response efforts, urging public confidence amid mounting concerns.

Tourism Minister Sorawong listens to concerns on Bangla Road, as calls grow for cannabis control to protect Thailand’s family-friendly image. PATTAYA, Thailand – In tourist hotspots like Pattaya and Phuket, the smell of cannabis is now as common as the scent of grilled seafood or motorbike exhaust. Since Thailand decriminalized cannabis in 2022, removing it from the Category 5 narcotics list, thousands of dispensaries have sprung up, particularly in areas with heavy foreign foot traffic. Yet with the boom has come rising concern — among locals, officials, health professionals, and increasingly, tourists themselves. Phuket alone now counts more than 1,200 cannabis shops, many of which operate with little oversight. Pattaya’s own weed boom is especially visible along Soi Buakhao, Walking Street, Pratumnak and Beach Road, where neon signs and leaf logos dominate the nightscape. Some view the green rush as a draw for adventurous travelers, but others argue it’s sending the wrong message — that Thailand is prioritizing short-term business over long-term tourism quality. This week, People’s Party MP Chalermphong Saengdee of Phuket’s District 2 raised the alarm directly with Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong during his visit to Patong’s Bangla Road. Chalermphong said the freewheeling cannabis culture is making tourists from conservative countries feel unsafe. Visitors from places like China, Singapore, and Japan — where cannabis remains illegal — are reportedly disturbed to see people openly smoking on the street, near schools, or on beaches. Families, elderly travelers, and wellness tourists are increasingly voicing their discomfort. Open weed shops are now a common sight on Bangla Road and Walking Street, fueling image concerns. Medical professionals have also warned of a spike in cannabis-related psychiatric cases, particularly among young people. Many dispensaries make no effort to check IDs, and with no nationwide law in place to control public consumption, advertising, or product quality, the risks are rising. The absence of a clear Cannabis Control Act has left local authorities scrambling to manage the fallout. Shops advertise freely, sell to anyone, and operate without regard for zoning. What was originally pitched as a boost to medical cannabis and small farmers has quickly morphed into an unregulated retail boom that threatens to alienate more mainstream travelers. MP Chalermphong called for urgent legislation to control the cannabis trade, including age verification, zoning restrictions, stricter licensing, and a ban on cannabis-themed advertising. While some argue there’s room for a niche cannabis market in Thailand, he insists it must not come at the cost of the country’s global tourism brand. Until clear rules are established, the debate rages on — and the unmistakable scent of weed continues to linger over Thailand’s most visited streets. MP Chalermphong warns that public cannabis use is driving away family and wellness tourists.   Tourists from countries with strict anti-drug laws say Thailand’s approach feels chaotic and unsafe. Medical experts report a rise in cannabis-related psychiatric cases amid regulatory vacuum.
