Hello Pattaya News Readers and Supporters!
The following is our weekly feature in which we highlight the top local stories in our area, Pattaya and Chonburi, for the past week. The number of stories differs from week to week.
These are chosen and curated by our editorial team and are designed for our readers to get a quick “catch-up” of important stories they may have missed. We publish many stories daily and it is easy to lose track of important events or changes in our area. We do national recaps in a separate article, this is only the top local stories in our area and province.
They are in no particular order of importance but roughly in order of publishing. These are from Sunday, September 12th, 2021, to Saturday, September 18th, 2021.
Let’s get started and see what the top local stories were!

The CCSA meeting, however, ended up being informal and will be reconsidered later this week, on the 23rd/24th. The Move on plan is also likely moving to a “One SOP one standard” plan that will simplify things but is not final.
