Pattaya — Pattaya law enforcement and immigration have increased patrols on foreigners who may have overstayed in the city and are up to no good, following recent cases of nightclub busts involving foreigners on overstay.
Police and immigration officers inspected several nightclubs and gogos on Pattaya Walking Street in South Pattaya at 10 PM on Friday, November 4th, in search of foreign tourists who might have overstayed their visas.
The inspection was led by Pol. Col. Thanawat Poolsawat, chief of Chonburi Immigration Office, and Pol. Col. Kunlachart Kunlachai, police chief of the Pattaya police station. The patrol came after police found that many cases recently were linked to foreigners on overstay, such as the abduction-ransom case of a Chinese tourist in which the alleged abductor had overstayed his visa for more than 400 days.
