Pattaya —
On June 28th, 2024, Pattaya police convened with motorbike taxi drivers, both traditional and app-based, to discuss road safety.
The meeting, which took place at the Baron Beach Hotel, was chaired by Pol. Col. Patikorn Sornchai, Deputy Police Commander of Chonburi Province, under the “Road Safety Improvement Project” spearheaded by the Royal Thai Police.
The initiative aimed to instill traffic discipline among motorcycle drivers, particularly motorbike taxi drivers commonly known as “Win” and app-based drivers in Pattaya. The meeting’s morning sessions focused on informing the drivers of accident statistics and traffic law enforcement guidelines, while the afternoon session involved group discussions for both types of drivers.
This afternoon session focused on the two groups of drivers to build positive relationships with each other and not have feuds or disputes over or with customers. A week ago a group of motorbike taxi drivers near Central Mall in Pattaya got into a physical fight with a Russian tourist over parking his motorbike near their stand, as we reported here.
According to Pol. Col. Patikorn, the Road Safety Improvement Project is being implemented in five locations: Thung Maha Mek Police Station (Bangkok), Chokchai Police Station (Bangkok), Pattaya Police Station (Chonburi), Pluak Daeng Police Station (Rayong), and Pak Kret Police Station (Nonthaburi).
