Thailand’s police chief took a breather from ongoing street
protests in Bangkok to formally issue holiday orders to Pattaya-area
cops.
Gen. Adul Saengsingkaew joined Chonburi Gov. Khomsan Ekachai, Banglamung
District Chief Sakchai Taengho and Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh at city
hall’s King Taksin Monument Dec. 23 for the dispatch.
Adul said many tourists arrived in Thailand during the holidays and
police need to step up their protection to ensure safety, as well as
keep traffic moving.
He claimed that the Bangkok demonstrations have not impacted tourism
levels because police had assured foreign governments that tourists
would be safe.
However, TAT said a week earlier that Russian tourist arrivals had
dropped 20 percent and that South Korean and Chinese tourists had
“disappeared” from the kingdom in the face of the political upheaval.
