Drink driving in Pattaya has
had a hard and often stern
approach to it recently, and
things look to stay this way
for the near future. Many
people have been moaning
about the sudden increase in
checkpoints and the attitude
of the officers and military in
dealing with the matter, but in fairness isn’t Thailand simply clearing up an issue that
is a strict NO-GO in nearly every other Country in the world? Try having a skinful and
driving home in England, Canada or the USA. You get stopped there and you are in a
world of trouble! So why is it that Thailand is on the backlash of complaints that they
have decided to bring this problem to a head?
Is this a flash in the pan and will all
this attention disappear, I think not,
it looks like this is a subject that will
remain at the forefront of both the
police and military for a good while
to come! So, come on, let’s be fair, a
taxi pretty much anywhere in Pattaya
is less than a 100 Baht, the Baht Bus
costs just 10 baht a pop and there
are numerous Taxis available, so do
you really need to drink drive in Pattaya or anywhere else for that matter? Stay safe,
use a taxi and stay out of trouble, it really is as simple as that!
