Pattaya police volunteers put on a friendly face for
tourists during the busy season, walking beats along area beachfronts to
give holiday revelers a greater sense of security.
Samran Naeprong, chief of the Tourism Police
Volunteers in Jomtien, has dispatched 10 officers to patrol the 6 km
Jomtien Beach shoreline, assisting tourists with problems and offering
advice to keep the area clean and safe.
He said he wanted tourists to be conscious of not
littering, as trash erodes the image of the beach and broken bottles can
be dangerous to beachgoers. He also instructed officers to crack down on
loiterers along beach promenades.
The peak of the high season brings large crowds to
Pattaya, Samran said, and the police volunteers want to promote a
positive image of the city.
