Pattaya to launch homeless sweeps twice monthly
City and police agencies plan to round up
suspected homeless people twice a month and arrange placement or
deportation.
Vittaya Yoondorn
City and police agencies plan to sweep Pattaya’s streets for
homeless people twice a month, placing repeat offenders into shelters or
deporting them.
Calling them damaging to Pattaya’s image as a tourist destination,
Deputy Mayor Wutisak Rermkitkarn said the Pattaya Social Development and
Human Security Department will work the Chonburi Immigration Police to
round up suspected homeless people, record all their information in a
computer database and arrange placement or deportation.
Thais found on the street again after being interviewed will be sent to
shelters such as the Nonthaburi Home for the Destitute and Baan Thap
Kwang Foundation for the Homeless Youth in Saraburi.
Wutisak said illegal aliens are masquerading as tourists in Pattaya, but
those found without passports will be deported back to their home
countries.
