reader Posted January 31 Posted January 31 From Pattaya Mail In a significant move to enhance tourist safety, Mayor Poramet Ngampichet led a pivotal training program along Pattaya’s iconic Walking Street last week. The initiative, now in its second phase, focused on equipping security personnel with advanced skills to ensure a secure environment for tourists. The program, a collaborative effort by Pattaya City, Tourist Police, and relevant agencies, aimed to elevate the knowledge and skills of security personnel. Aligned with the “Strong Tourism Community” (S.T.C.) project, the training aimed to make security personnel proficient in maintaining safety and well-versed in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) techniques. The overarching goal was to instill confidence in tourists by ensuring high-quality, secure services. The project also encouraged public participation and readiness to assist tourists, ultimately reducing incidents involving visitors. A total of 110 participants from 34 service establishments actively participated, showcasing widespread cooperation for the cause. Quote
Olddaddy Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Great idea if they implement it but somehow it's probably just talk I have never had a problem in Pattaya although one must be cautious in say Walking Street particularly in the early hours of a weekend morning when the younger intoxicated farang come out especially in groups looking to bump someone going past. I wish the Philippines would be as keen to promote safety . Quote
