A Red Flag has been raised over the Pattaya Marine Rescue Centre close to the Bali Hai Port in South Pattaya, indicating all boats are now not permitted to set sail until the flag is lowered. Due to poor weather conditions, the decision was made on Monday to raise the red flag and now the only boats which are permitted to sail are rescue vessels which are evacuating tourists stranded on Islands off the coast of Pattaya. All day on Monday and throughout Tuesday Tourists were brought back to Pattaya. As long as the red flag remains, all pleasure boats and private vessels are not permitted to sail, and any that defy the temporary ban will be prosecuted by the Marine Department who will closely monitor the weather over the coming days. They have assured boat captains that they will lift the sailing ban as soon as they can.

Pattaya Awakes After Stormy Weather - Pattaya People
Recently, Pattaya City seemed a bit quiet due to the effects of the storms and monsoons over the previous weeks.
But the city came to life last week, with many tourists and activities to bring the people out, such as the Pattaya International Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2012 held by Department of Intellectual Property in cooperation with TOT-Pattaya Office, Pattaya City Hall and many authorities and organizations and other fun events.
The weather in the past 2-3 days has been good for vacationers, and Pattaya seemed to be awake again after a whole week of quiet, caused by the flooding disasters in Isaan and Central Thailand.
