The new Immigration chief in Pattaya really wants to make a strong impression on his first year. Besides the fact he want to kick out 1000 foreign criminals from Pattaya (will there be any people left in the bars?) he also want to stop all other crime conducted by Thais as well.
He also said that all foreigners tourists and expats alike muse have their passports with them at all times since Thai have their ID card all the time foreigners must carry a ID as well he argued. No copies of the passports will be allowed and no word if a Thai ID or Thai driver license would be enough.
You can probably expect more raids on nightclubs and bars and a constant passport check around Pattaya after Mars. This mostly happen when they change ranks in the Thai police and a power vacuum occur. That’s why the now famous Swat Sifu in Pattaya was arrested because he was friends with the former chief and not the new one.
P.s i really hate the crack down slogan but can use instead? D.s
