PATTAYA, October 6th, 2026: Police officers from Pattaya City Police Station joined the Chonburi governor and local officials on Tuesday morning for a coordinated cleanup along Pattaya Beach Road, clearing mud, debris, and residual flood damage in an effort to restore the tourist area quickly.
The operation began at 9:00 a.m. along the beachfront road from Soi 6 to Central Pattaya (Central Beach). It was led by Pol. Col. Anek Srathongyu, superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, together with Pol. Lt. Col. Siriwat Khatchamat, deputy superintendent for investigation; Pol. Lt. Col. Suwinai Kuibamrung, traffic superintendent; Pol. Lt. Col. Amorntep Maima, traffic inspector; Pol. Lt. Col. Prao Onsom, suppression superintendent; and Pol. Lt. Col. Rinlapas Sophonkittiwat, interrogation superintendent, along with officers from the station.
They welcomed Chonburi Governor Narit Niramaiwong, who chaired the activity, as well as Pol. Maj. Gen. Chatri Suksiri, commander of Chonburi Provincial Police; Deputy Governor Pongthasit Pijanan; Pol. Col. Phatikorn Sornchai, deputy provincial police commander; and Banglamung District Chief Anusak Piriyomorn.
The Big Cleaning Day brought together police, Banglamung district officials, Pattaya City staff, partner agencies, and civilian volunteers. Participants collected waste, washed mud and sediment from the road surface, and tidied the landscape along the stretch of beach affected by recent flooding, with the goal of returning the area to a clean, safe condition for traffic and visitors as soon as possible.
Organizers described the cleanup as more than physical restoration. In statements accompanying the event, police framed it as a symbol of clearing the aftermath of the crisis and of cooperation among government agencies, the private sector, and residents, intended to signal that Pattaya is ready to welcome tourists again.
Officials noted that standing floodwater often leaves trash, mud, and sand on roads, creating slip hazards. Immediate joint recovery work, they said, speeds the return of usable public space. Leaving the residue in place, they added, could produce odors and dust, raise the risk of road accidents, and damage the image of Pattaya as an international tourist destination.
Pattaya City Police said the force would continue to support public order and post-disaster recovery so the city can remain clean and livable. The activity was carried out under the Chonburi Provincial Police, Provincial Police Region 2, and the Royal Thai Police.
