BANGKOK, 2015-11-4 — /Travel PR News/ — The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is extending full support to Pattaya City and relevant authorities in setting up the Jetski Tourist Assistance Centre in order to resolve jetski scam and ensure the safety and security of tourists.
The Jetski Tourist Assistance Centre is under a joint supervision of the Chonburi Provincial Authority, the Tourism and Sports Office Chonburi Province, Pattaya Marine Department, and Pattaya City. Meanwhile, jetski operators must follow the zoning regulations under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
