Pattaya —
In a concerted effort to safeguard tourists, high-visibility patrols were conducted yesterday, January 28th, by the tourist police in several key areas of Pattaya.
Led by Pol. Lt. Col. Piyapong Ensan, officers on bicycles patrolled Bali Hai Pier, Pattaya Second Road, Terminal 21 Shopping Center, Pattaya Beach Road, and Walking Street.
According to Pol. Lt. Col. Piyapong, the initiative aimed to deter potential criminal activity targeting tourists as part of the “Pattaya Walking Street (S.T.C.)” project. Pol. Lt. Col.
