Pattaya bans vehicles on the beach: new rules for safety!

There is a lot going on in Pattaya at the moment. City officials consistently enforce beach regulations. Recently, a business operator received a warning for driving his pickup truck onto the beach to tow jet skis. This behavior violates city regulations that prohibit vehicles from driving on the beach. This regulation is of great importance for the city administration in order to maintain cleanliness and order and to ensure the safety of visitors. Business owners and beachgoers are encouraged to adhere to these regulations. There is also a hotline number 1337 to report possible violations, as the Pattaya Mail reports.

The question arises: How can beach safety be further increased? To find out, officials led by Mayor Poramase Ngampiches inspected Pattaya Beach on November 2nd. The aim of the inspection was to check compliance with new safety regulations for operators of speedboats, jet skis and banana boats. These measures are part of the Better Pattaya Bay project, which was launched with the aim of increasing safety for marine tourism activities. The organization of the jetties and the overcrowding of the beach area were closely examined.

Stricter regulations for jet skis and speedboats

An important aspect of the new regulations is the determination of pick-up points for tourists. These are located in both North and South Pattaya. The operators are only allowed to pick up their guests at these designated locations. There is also an important safety rule: jet skis are not allowed to come closer than 200 meters to the shore in order to protect swimmers. With the start of the high season, the city sees the need for such measures to further increase safety on the popular beach. The new rules came into force on November 1 and initial inspections showed that the majority of operators were complying, although there were still isolated violations, the sources said.

When asked what the risk of repeated violations is, the answer is: legal consequences and possibly the revocation of the operating license. City officials are keeping a close eye on the implementation of these new regulations to ensure the safety of tourists and order on the beach.

In summary, Pattaya is taking proactive steps to make the beach experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone involved. The “Better Pattaya Bay” initiative is an important step in the right direction. We can only hope that both operators and visitors adhere to the rules to preserve the beauty and safety of the beach.
