Pattaya Beach Road Sweep of Drug Dealers and Drug Users

Pattaya Beach Road is looking a lot more beautiful in the daytime. It should do after the millions of Baht that have been spent by Pattaya City Hall. The next task is to make Pattaya Beach Road not only pretty at night but also safer as thousands of tourists wend their way down the beach side walk for a night out on Walking Street.

Regular raids are being carried out to rid this area of Undesirables. This week it was the turn of Police Captain Netthitorn who led a team of Pattaya Police Officers and Pattaya Police Volunteers. Their targets tonight were the drug dealers and their customers who try to push their products on passing foreign tourists and locals.

Their haul was not large. They netted only 2 suspects and confiscated 5 bags of marijuana. They were then hauled off to the police station where they will be drug tested and face charges for drugs possession and possibly possession with intent to sell narcotic substances.
