branches they had cut to keep it from blocking lights and cameras to provide

Pattaya city workers again took shears to trees on
Pattaya Beach, cutting back foliage blocking lights and cameras to provide
tourists more security.
A periodic exercise, the July 9 landscaping also saw the
15 workers pick up garbage and sweep the beachfront to provide a fresher
image for visitors.
Engineering Department supervisor Anont Hraimanee said he
hoped the work would decrease prostitution and pick-pocketing by exposing
more of the walkway and benches to light.
Some entire trees were removed so that closed-circuit
television cameras wouldn’t be blocked. The operation caused minimal traffic
disruption.
