Progress in Mystery Shooting - Pattaya People

On Wednesday afternoon, the Pattaya Police Investigating Inspector Pol. Lt. Col. Songkram Pahn-iam and a team of police examined the apartment of the new Pattaya Police Superintendent, Pol. Col. Suwan Chiao-na-win-ta-wat, which is located in the Pattaya Policemen’s Flat behind the Pattaya Police Station, on Soi 9 of Pattaya Beach Road. The apartment had been shot at the back balcony, during the Countdown on Monday, December 31st, 2012. A glass window and a shelf were shattered, but no other injuries were reported.

The police found a 12 gauge shotgun shell on the ground, and witnesses stated that a man, wearing clothes like a policeman but appearing to be very drunk, was walking around the flat before the countdown. When the fireworks started, he fired 1 missile at the back balcony of the Police Superintendent, then fled the scene right before the fireworks finished.

The police now have enough information to track down the shooter, who is thought to be a police officer at the Pattaya Police Station. Legal proceedings will be taken against the gunman, as Pol. Col Suwan expects that he is one of the officers who lost a lot of illegal paybacks due to his new anti-corruption and bribery policies. The new Superintendent is insisting on transparency in all police activities, and receiving bribes from shady businesses will no longer be tolerated.

Rubbish Issue on Lan Island - Pattaya People

At the Pattaya Mayor’s Performance Press Conference, on Saturday afternoon at Pattaya City Hall, a team of Spokespersons, led by Miss Yuwatida Jeerapat announced the results of the Mayor and City managers performance this year. Many questions were posed regarding various unresolved issues, as well as future projects of Pattaya City Hall. The answers were given by the spokespersons team.

One of the serious issues brought up was the massive amounts of rubbish on Lan Island, and what solutions are being sought for this problem. Miss Yuwatida explained that the number of tourists on Lan Island has been increasing rapidly and so the amount of rubbish there has increased commensurately. The transport of the rubbish to the main land for processing has not been sufficient, however, Pattaya City Hall has proposed a budget for Rubbish Storage. This will enable Lan Island residents to separate the rubbish for recycling and energy generation. City Hall also plans to increase the transportation of the refuse off the island, to reduce the amount of rubbish.
