PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya municipal officers are continuing inspections to reclaim public space from people who attempt to reserve parking areas for private use, removing traffic cones and metal barriers placed in vacant roadside spaces opposite nightlife businesses near the beach.
The operation follows Pattaya’s policy of keeping public areas orderly, safe and accessible to everyone. Officers removed cones and metal parking barriers measuring approximately 1.5 meters wide, reinforcing that public spaces cannot be reserved for private use.
The campaign aims to prevent individuals or businesses from blocking shared parking areas and ensure fair access for motorists visiting nearby shops and nightlife venues. Pattaya residents can report public-space obstructions or request municipal assistance through the city’s 24-hour hotline at 1337.
