PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya municipal enforcement officers conducted an operation at Jomtien Beach on November 11, addressing homeless individuals who had accumulated personal belongings in a public area, affecting the beachfront’s appearance.
Officers instructed the individuals to leave the area and remove their possessions. The belongings have since been cleared. With tourists and local residents sharing the beachfront, officials must remain alert to the difference between visitors enjoying the public space and individuals using it for long-term shelter or storage. Anyone who spots similar problems affecting public spaces can contact Pattaya City Hall through its 1337 hotline.
