Central Pattaya’s Chumsai community joined city officials, local
police and students to rally against illegal drug use.
Deputy Mayor Wutisak Rermkitkarn joined with Chumsai community President
Jeerawat Plukjai, officers from the Pattaya, Banglamung, and Najomtien
police stations, and representatives from Pattaya schools No. 5 and 10 to
work on the anti-drug program Nov. 27.
The year-old program built upon National Command Center for Drugs guidelines
is aimed at building community strength to battle local drug problems.
Jeerawat said that Chumsai has become a strong community and it has long
cooperated with the city in solving drug problems. The community committee
also spent money from the Mother of the Land Fund of HM the Queen in solving
drug problems.
The majority of drug users in Chumsai community are tourists, non-registered
residents or runaway drug suspects from other areas, the community chief
claimed. If people in the community strictly help monitor and work closely
with officers it will be difficult for a problem to occur and drug dealers
will not dare stay in the area, he asserted.
