(Bangkok Post file photo)Pattaya authorities on Thursday sought cooperation from tourist bus and boat operators to discourage their clients from buying food or goods from vendors as part of the continued crackdown on vending on public beaches. Setthapol Boonsawat, chairman of the Pattaya municipality legal team, said officials had called the operators to a meeting to explain measures to deal with illegal street vendors on the city’s beaches and along the beach roads. The operators were urged to tell the visitors not to support the illegal vendors. The meeting also discussed ways to solve traffic problems caused by tour bus operators picking up or dropping off holidaymakers on the two main beach roads.
