[Coss]

Pattaya City officials carried out an operation along Pattaya Beach yesterday, February 12, to regulate homeless people and others staying overnight in the area, while urging the public to stop giving money to beggars.

The operation took place at Pattaya Beach in Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri, led by Deputy Mayor Damrongkiat Pinijkarn with teams from the Department of Social Development and Welfare, the Social Welfare Office, Pattaya City Administration and related agencies.

Officials patrolled the full length of Pattaya Beach to monitor the situation and identify homeless people and others sleeping in the city’s key tourist area.  LINK

I remember the good ol' days, though I liked it better when the sailors weren't in town.

I’ve been there when the fleet was in for Cobra gold, it didn’t seem like much of an issue…I remember very few guys it seemed were taking the girls out…one sailor told me “…these girls all have diseases, they told us before we came ashore…

It wasn't the sailors per se, but crowds, I'm allergic to having to elbow my way through any situation, so a crowded bar gets no preference, over a half full one.

We met some US Sailors in Sydney one night. They asked for some name of bars to meet girls. We sent them to Oxford Street Darlinghurst which is wall to wall gay clubs
