Pattaya is Bustling for the Long Holiday Weekend

Pattaya-

A lot of Thai and foreign tourists are visiting Pattaya during the current long holidays say tourism officials as well as Pattaya News reporters on the ground.

The long holidays are from October 13^th to October 15^th. Pattaya is full of Thai and foreign tourists on beaches and piers and local roads are full of vehicles.

As a public holiday, government offices, banks, and immigration offices will be closed. There is, however, despite some confusion on social media, no alcohol sale bans.

Many Thai and foreign tourists are also gathering at the Bali Hai Pier heading to Koh Larn. Boat operators are also ensuring passengers wear life jackets. The Pattaya City Police are taking care of tourist’s safety.

Pattaya police have also stepped up patrols on local beaches at night, targeting minors, illegal drugs, and weapons.

The weekend is also seeing the start of the famous and popular Pattaya Vegetarian Festival, a major event for the local area.

So far, there have been no major problems but a few minor ones such as this viral situation involving a Japanese tourist.
