PATTAYA, Thailand – Jomtien municipal officers took action against sidecar vendors selling goods on public land along Jomtien Beach without permission, with some reportedly hiding in nearby grocery stores when officials began their inspections, October 24. The officers patrolled the beachfront to check vendors using public space for commercial sales without authorization. When the inspection began, some vendors reportedly moved into nearby 7-Eleven premises to avoid the officials.
Those found in violation were taken to the Jomtien Municipal Enforcement Centre for fines in accordance with relevant procedures. The operation aims to regulate commercial use of public space along the beachfront. Residents and visitors can report concerns involving public spaces or municipal regulations to the Pattaya City Call Centre on 1337.
