Pattaya police have taken decisive action, setting up checkpoints at the beginning, middle, and end of Soi Yensabai, South Pattaya, in response to numerous complaints from locals about disturbances caused by Middle Eastern tourists riding motorcycles, honking horns, and revving engines. They checked documents for both vehicles and individuals, focusing especially on Middle Eastern troublemakers.
The police also conducted checks on Thai drivers in the vicinity, concentrating on illicit activity. In order to prevent causing disruptions, authorities also reminded owners of rental businesses to advise visitors about required paperwork and safe driving techniques. For minor infractions, there were warnings and outreach programs regarding safe road usage to keep locals and visitors from becoming more upset.
