PATTAYA, Thailand – On October 21st, 2025, at 6:00 PM, a large-scale operation was launched at Pattaya City Hall to address social issues involving homeless individuals, beggars, and other vulnerable groups in the city. The goal is enhancing Pattaya’s reputation as a premier tourist destination, and was led by multiple agencies under the direction of Pol. Sub-Lt. Suchart Dusadee from Pattaya City Police Station, alongside Mr. Nathaphop Yomjinda, Deputy District Chief of Bang Lamung, Pol. Sub-Lt. Jeerawat Sukhonthasap, Director of Pattaya’s Administrative Division, and Sub-Lt. Pramote Fueangfung, Deputy Inspector of Chonburi Immigration Office.
Authorities deployed teams to patrol high-risk areas and communities reported to have many homeless individuals and beggars. The operation focused on restoring order to public spaces and reinforcing safety to uphold Pattaya’s appeal as a world-renowned tourism hub.
The crackdown resulted in the apprehension of 12 people—eight Thai men and four Thai women. All were handed over to investigators for legal processing and will undergo screening by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security to determine appropriate assistance based on their circumstances.
This operation is part of ongoing efforts to maintain public order and elevate Pattaya’s image, creating a safe and welcoming environment for both Thai and international tourists.
