Tourist Safety Pattaya's NO. 1 priority, new Police Chief
Formerly police commander in the southern province of Trang, Col. Apichai Klobpetch made the pledge on the fourth day on the job in the coastal resort town renowned for its checkered nightlife, high criminality and endless stories of scams and fraud.
In a phone interview, Apichai outlined three policies Pattaya police will pursue under his command: better roads, policing and safety.
“First, we will manage the traffic, to provide convenience to tourists and reduce accidents. Second, we will decrease crimes. We will put a control on crimes, to make them happen as rarely as possible,” Apichai said. “Third, and this is the most important one, taking care of tourists’ safety. We will provide security for their lives and possessions.”
