http://pattayaone.news/en/no-alcohol-sales-beach/No more beer sales on the beach starting October
From the beginning of October, only a few days away, beach vendors on Pattaya’s beaches will no longer be able to sell alcohol.
The new regulations have been set out by the army and in a meeting held earlier this month Mr. Wasinpat Chimtin, Sanitation Chief, outlined the new rules to a handful of current beach vendors that had attended the meeting.
The new rules look likely to be just another setback in what many people believe is sending Pattaya in the opposite direction to which it should be going.
The new rules were backed up by officials, however, saying that there has been an increase in injuries and drowning at the beaches caused by alcohol related issues and that the new rules are there for the safety of both locals and tourists.
Also outlined in the rules were need for all vendors working on the beach to be wearing specific uniform aprons, as well as other laws regarding the issue of leasing and subleasing plots of land on the beach.
Although officials are standing behind the excuse of safety, many believe that the new regulations are simply following the current governments desires which rids the city of the so called “sex-tourists”, as it aims to attract what they are calling “more quality tourists”

The slow descent into no fun land. It's already a land of no smiles, now they just need to get rid of the fun. What a great government.

Sure. But they might want to concentrate their efforts on the thieving ladyboys blowing Indian sex tourists on the public beach, the gangs of teenage thai thugs zooming around on motorbikes wreaking havoc, and other assorted shagnasties. People go to the beach to drink and relax on their holiday. They sure as hell don't go to Pattaya beach to swim in that polluted gonorrhea soup they call a bay.Miguelito wrote:Surely there's some room for cleaning up Pattaya, no?LexusSchmexus wrote:The slow descent into no fun land.

Legend has it that Machiavelli is still being blown by thieving ladyboys in public.

They've also recently banned public/beach drinking in Goa. Understandably local communities in Asia are becoming fed up with drunks pissing, fighting, playing loud music and generally being a pain in the ass. I stopped going to places like Goa and Koh Phangan years ago as they've become unbearably trashy both figuratively and literally.

Haha. No ladyboys, however, the only one time I talked to a ladyboy was at Nana, waiting for a cab. I made her cry, when I found out she was khmer from Battambang, and my tiny bit of Khmer induced her homesickness.

Sihanouk may be awash in trash, human trash, and wealthy Chinese this season. Great.
