The Marine Department and CHON BURI have launched” Better Pattaya Bay” to improve the management of boat, jet skiing, and banana boat service along Pattaya Beach.

For the protection of visitors, Pattaya Mayor Poramet Ngampichet said on Tuesday that the goal is to ensure the shore remains free of coastal motor activity action within 200 metres of the shore.

” Pattaya City is entering the peak season, and the sea will be crowded with tourists.” Water protection is therefore very crucial”, he said. &nbsp,

Because Pattaya City did not possess a wharf where they could rent space, he claimed, jet skiing and different companies have lacked designated pick-up items for homeowners. &nbsp,

Users parked and picked up people anywhere along the 2. 7 kilometer stretch of seaside between North Pattaya and South Pattaya.

In order to address this, Pattaya City collaborated with the Marine Crisis Prevention System of the Marine Department to set up two designated locations for rental companies, one in North Pattaya and the other in South Pattaya.

According to Mr. Poramet,” Jet skis are prohibited from coming within 200 feet of the sea to promote visitor safety and promote the water quality in front of the beach.”

The new procedures went into effect on Friday. Police officers from Pataya City visited the beach on Tuesday to check the progress being made, and he said they found the environment to be much more peaceful.

” Most jet ski users are cooperating, but there are still some breaches”, he said.

” The first time, they may receive a warning. If they break the law again, they will be completely punished. The Department of Local Administration will be responsible for this, even to the point of revoking the operator ‘s&nbsp, licence”.

In the middle of Pattaya Bay, the Pattaya Fireworks Festival will be held on November 29 through November 30 with the goal of generating more visitors and strengthening the local market. &nbsp,

Five countries and regions likely join in the event- Serbia, Hong Kong, England, Germany, and the Philippines- with five displays planned for each day and tens of thousands of fireworks going off, Mr Poramet noted.
