Koh Larn-

  Mr. Sonthaya Khunpluem, the Pattaya Mayor, gave an update today, March 14th, 2022, about the construction and improvement progress of the Tawaen beach office, stating that the building which consists of three stories on an area of 775 square meters is already completed and the remaining work is just the building’s interior details.

He expects that the construction will be finished within the contract period (although did not give an exact date) and that the building will be used as a service and control center for tourists and citizens.

In addition, the Tawaen Beach office will become a primary medical center to accommodate patients before they are transferred to the Koh Larn Medical Center and Pattaya City Hospital. Within the office area, a control room is built to operate 195 CCTV cameras that will safeguard the lives and properties of the tourists and citizens on Koh Larn and be operated around the clock. Lastly, 30 emergency cabinets have been installed in key areas around the island to receive emergency or urgent requests 24 hours a day which will be directed to the officers in the control room.

The control room will be operated by a specialized outsourced contractor in the future for the convenience and safety of the citizens and tourists on Koh Larn, the mayor concluded.

TPN media notes the control center had been a project in development for some time, with a similar program already in place in Pattaya. The goal of having CCTV cameras across the island and emergency boxes will, according to city officials, greatly improve safety and allow law enforcement to investigate and review cases with greater ease.
