About 50 employees of a central Thailand sub-district visited
Pattaya as part of a junket to the Eastern Seaboard to study
self-dependent cities.
Theerasak Jatupong, director of the Pattaya branch of the Center for
Maintaining Peace and Order, welcomed Muan Laopithakyothin, president of
the Donman Sub-district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Feb. 20. The Korat-area
bureaucrats toured Pattaya and Rayong during their Feb. 19-22 trip.
Theerasak briefed the public servants on the growth of Pattaya and
introduced important destinations and development methods behind
becoming a tourism city.
Donman officials said the trip was organized to increase worker
efficiency as human personnel are the most-important resource in
developing a city. Pattaya, they said, was interesting due to its status
as one of the most important tourism destinations in Thailand.
“We chose Pattaya for observation because I believe that Pattaya is a
developed, advanced and a self-dependent city which has management
different from a sub-district,” Muan said. “We would like to implement
certain working principles to our hometown, particularly, management and
development of personnel potential.”
The Donman group continued on to the Rayong Aquarium, Sunthorn Phu
Monument and Ban Jamroon community, where the neighborhood’s adherence
to HM the King’s “sufficiency economy” philosophy was investigated.
