Pattaya To Control Jet Ski Operators

 

 

Pattaya administrative officers have set out to control the jet ski operators after the operators had ripped off many tourists and have been doing so for many years. Plus they aimed to set up a sub-committee in order to control the operators.

 

PATTAYA Recently- Mr.Sakchai Tang-Ho-chief district of Bang Lamung- said in a Pattaya business and tourism association conference which was held at the Grand Sole Hotel Pattaya that jet ski operators had exploited the customers by collecting a large amount of money for the so called repairs. Also they had been doing this for many years which had actually affected tourism in Pattaya.

 

Recently the tourism-sport bureau of Chonburi had ordered the marine department to solve this problem by making all operators to register with the marine department. Also the operators need to have insurance for each boat in order to cover any damage caused by tourists.

 

However jet skis are not covered with insurance because Thai law doesnt allow this type of water craft. As a result of this, the operators werent able to insure their boats.

 

Mr.Sakchai said that officials need to discuss with the operators again and the officers needed to find a special zone for jet ski operators. Also they aimed to set up a sub-committee so that they can find a way to sort out this ever growing problem and those operators who operate illegally.
