Tourist Police Train Pattaya Hotel Staff in Emergency Procedures

Police Lieutenant Colonel Arun Phromphan, Pattaya Tourist Police Officer said, "Due to the political chaos with bomb threats and protest rallies, and the threat of natural disasters such as floods and tsunamis we have to be prepared to protect our tourism industry. We want to build the confidence of tourists and hotel guests by making sure that hotels in Pattaya are prepared for emergencies, starting with the ibis Hotel."

The training was led by Pattaya tourist officers along with other specialists who taught hotel employees basic knowledge of various types of bombs and explosives. Hotel employees learnt about what to do if they receive bomb threats, what to do if earthquakes or tsunamis occur, how to memorize the suspect vehicles and how to assist guests in case of emergencies.
