Late Night Partying on Pattaya City Beaches Draws Calls for Law Enforcement

The resort town of Pattaya city on Thailand’s eastern seaboard is considering enforcing opening hours on its beaches in order to reduce the amount of loud night owls who party into the wee hours of the morning.

According to Wutthisak Roemkitchakan, the deputy city mayor, the city has received a growing number of complaints about nocturnal visitors who like to listen to loud music on portable speakers while drinking beer and partying on Pattaya’s popular beaches.

According to him, a lot of these guests remain to drink and party and refuse to leave even when city garbage collectors arrive in the morning to clean the beaches. According to him, this leaves the beaches covered with trash the next day.

“The city is now considering imposing opening and closing hours on these beaches as a possible solution to the problem,” he explained.

Currently, the city has no restrictions governing the opening and closing times of its beaches, which means they are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, he said. Previously, the city attempted to increase beach patrols, but it was impossible to locate enough security officers to do so every night, according to the Bangkok Post.

He claims that since undergoing a massive extension and restoration, the city’s beaches have seen an increase in visitors. On weekdays, he explained, these beaches don’t get many tourists, and most of them leave early in the evening.

However, the number of visitors is normally significantly bigger on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with many people who want to consume alcohol and party late into the night, he said, adding that all city authorities can do at the moment is beg for their cooperation to leave.

Complaints received by city officials also mentioned excessive noises created by a number of nightclubs, the majority of which were open-air locations on beaches, he said.

According to him, the Pattaya municipality and Bang Lamung district authorities investigated these night entertainment venues and asked them to reduce the level of their music in response to these complaints.

Officials suggested a few remedies, including the construction of a good sound-proof area for guests, he said. More steps would be adopted in collaboration with local police to reduce noise pollution in Pattaya.
