Greeting to all our readers and supporters!
We have gathered here our top LOCAL stories that happened in our areas, Pattaya and Chonburi, in the last week from Monday, June 6th, 2022, to Sunday, June 12th, 2022.
The stories are chosen by our editorial team and are not in a particular order of importance but roughly in order of publishing.
Let’s take a look at what you might have missed!
1. Walking Street nightlife operators urge authorities to resume unfinished road repairs as soon as possible
One issue holding the completion of the project back is Pattaya still does not have an official mayor due to ballot issues in the prior election. But, this is hoped to be resolved as the re-election officially ended on June 12th with Poramese “Beer†Ngampiches setting to become the new mayor soon unless any interuption occurs.
2.British man hiding in Chonburi over child sexual abuse charges arrested for overstay and is set for extradition
3. Five hundred thousand Indian tourists are expected to visit Pattaya by the end of 2022, Tourism Authority of Thailand says
Many business owners say the city is coming back to life with rising tourism from a wide range of nationalities, but Indian tourists are in the lead so far.
4. Tourism Ministry to postpone 300-baht ‘land entry’ fee collection and introduce ‘Thailand Pass’ cancellation proposal to National Covid-19 Center
5. Thai Prime Minister orders strict nationwide enforcement of midnight closing times for entertainment venues
Prayut Chan-O-Cha, the PM, who heads the CCSA, has seemed unexcited about the proposals and stated recently that he is concerned that later closings could mean more possible covid outbreaks.
That is it for the last week. The Pattaya News hopes the next week brings you good news!
