News Forum - Bang Saen Beach in Pattaya to ban drinking and smoking

[PeterParker]

Banned,  banned,  banned. No more choices than leaving the beach to smoke a cigarette?

I've been there last holidays. Restaurants keep on selling alcohol, there are underage vendors walking all along the beach, locals drinking and smoking, but a farang smoking a cigarette is ...

Never again, thanks

Read what I replied to dopey...........

I commented on the fact Thais like to go to eat and drink on the beach, it doesn't matter where

You didn't say that dopey. If you want to make a point, finish it.

This is typical nabob dictum; no research to back it up, just random dictum thrown into the mix show someone "is doing here job" - however badly...

 

what they should e worried about is people driving back to bangkok whilst thy are still drunk.

Confusing: In the actual article (quote below)  it says people cannot  "bring" alcohol to beach.  I assume this means like bars, you cannot "bring" you own alcohol into a bar.  Why would beach vendors allow people to bring their own alcohol to the chair and umbrella hang outs they run for income on the beach?  So yes, it makes sense to me if this is what it is about.

"The Permanent Secretary of Pattaya city, Pramoote Tubtim, reported that Bang Sean wanted cooperation from locals and visitors not to bring alcoholic drinks or cigarettes to the area. People who bring alcohol or smoke on the beach would be warned first."

If they are looking for Hi-So tourists, shouldn't they replace empty beer bottles and cigarette butts with empty champagne bottles and cigar butts?
