Pattaya Tourism Operators Apprehensive About Proposal to Extend Nightlife Hours
Tourism operators in Pattaya are concerned about the proposal to extend operating hours of nighttime venues along Beach Road until 4am due to potential noise pollution, compromised safety, and damage to the city’s reputation. The president of the Association of Chon Buri Tourism Federation (ACTF) suggests that only establishments on Walking Street should benefit from the extended hours due to its mixed-use nature. Additionally, there are concerns about negatively affecting nearby residents and tourists seeking family-oriented tourism.
