On November 1st, at 9:30 PM, Chonburi governor Thawatchai Sritong, alongside Deputy Commander of Region 2 Police Pol. Maj. Gen. Nanthawut Suwanna-la-ong, presided over a kick-off ceremony to initiate a joint operation to address various social issues in Chonburi, including drug abuse, human trafficking, possession and carrying of firearms, gambling, and influential figures causing problems and breaking the law.
The operation was launched in line with the government’s policy to maintain social order and suppress influential figures nationwide.
Over 200 personnel from various agencies related to security in the area, including local administrative officials, police officers, representatives from the Ministry of the Interior, sub-district chiefs, assistant sub-district chiefs, village heads, village head assistants, and community protection volunteers participated in this operation.
Governor Thawatchai emphasized that this operation was important to ensure the safety and well-being of residents and tourists in Chonburi province, particularly in Pattaya City, where a large number of people reside and tourists visit for various purposes.
The governor also stated that special operational units have been established at both provincial and district levels to enforce social order and crack down on influential figures breaking the law.
Following the kick-off ceremony, thorough inspections were conducted in high-risk areas, such as entertainment areas in Pattaya, but no illegal activities or wrongdoings were detected.
The operation showcased the successful efforts of Chonburi authorities in deterring illicit activities. This followed a previous raid at a male host bar where several suspected gamblers and alleged illegal migrant workers were apprehended just a day earlier.
