reader Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 From Pattaya One Pattaya “happy zones” are set to be put into action next week. The head of the provincial police made a flying visit to Pattaya yesterday to say that the resort “will be a great place to be for the whole world to enjoy”. This comes as authorities are setting up the “Happy Zone” scheme in Walking Street. Chonburi chief Somprasong Yenthuam said that a party launching the new “happy” era for the resort would be held on Saturday March 25th. And the chief told reporters yesterday they can expect an end to attacks on tourists in Walking Street, and no more swindling orpadding of bills. Explaining the “Happy Zone” project he asked for the cooperation of operators in the area to put CCTV outside their properties so that they could be “the electronic eyes” that could help with any necessary evidence gathering. “The Happy Zone project will turn Walking Street into a place of happiness for tourists. We have asked the operators to ensure there are no under 20s, no weapons and most importantly no trouble for tourists. “That means no physical attack or swindling of visitors at all”. The chief said that local police, soldiers and district officials were all onboard with the project. He himself was under orders from on high to make the project a success. “This will ensure that Pattaya will be a great place to be for the whole world to enjoy”, said chief Somprasong. http://pattayaone.news/en/pattaya-happy-zones/ Quote

reader Posted March 14, 2017 Author Posted March 14, 2017 The giggles are spreading. The Nation today ran this photo to accompany article about the Happy Zone. Audience memebers look they just got off a tour bus. The poles look familiar but the ladies grasping them not so much. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/national/30309069 Quote
bucknaway Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 My idea is for workers on walking street to write down all the things go that hurt tourist busines, put it in a candle powered hot air balloon and release them at night so all the trouble float away. biguyby, ChristianPFC and vinapu 3 Quote
