Pattaya is one of the four tourism destinations’ targets in Thailand to be selected concerning this tourist’s security prevention project along with Chaing Mai, Phuket, and Hua Hin.

The project will be researched and managed in specific operating systems in order to have it operating for preventing and suppressing all crimes. In addition, it aims to extend the preventive measures that are operated by citizens during the lack of police officers in areas where problems sometimes are slowly managed. All useful information concerning operating this project has been carefully researched and studied by many executive officers of the National Police Department, in order for the officers to treat the real problem accurately and effectively.

In the meeting, the real problems occurring in Pattaya were subjected to be solved directly and transparently by both government and private sector representatives. The problems identified are tourist being taken advantage by beach entrepreneur or independent vendors, beach masseurs and tattooist, the problem of Baht bus service, beach prostitution problem, robbery, and other crimes.

All current police volunteers will also be trained as well as the upcoming ones. Regarding the legal difficulty, which might occur when the volunteers perform their duty, however, will be considered carefully once again in order to properly organize and facilitate all operations by police volunteers as much as possible. The meeting result will be once again reconsidered by the Headquarters Executive Management in order to continue this project and have it become a success.
