Provincial Waterworks Authority, CAT Telecom, Tourist Police, Redemptorist
School, Office of Narcotics Control Board and other private clubs have

Khomsan said the effort has paid off with management reorganizations within
each organization, stronger connections between team members and aggressive
work on collaboration to solve problems. Aware of the work that needs to be
done, the Pattaya Team is making the city ready for the AEC, he said.
