Pattaya-
On September 5th, 2024, Mr. Wuttisak Reumkitkar, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya City, oversaw the registration process for massage operators at Pattaya Beach and Wong Amat Beach. The event saw a large turnout of massage operators submitting their legal documents and looking forward to helping tourists and locals.
To enhance service quality and maintain the city’s tourism appeal, massage operators have formed clubs to provide organized services to the public and tourists. This basically prevents indecent services like prostitution and overcharging, which could negatively impact Pattaya’s tourism industry.
Pattaya City has also implemented strict measures to control the number of massage service providers in each area. Massage operators are required to register according to Thai law, ensuring the number of operators does not exceed set legal limits and addressing various issues.
Registration Requirements
Massage operators must meet the following criteria:
– Be legally registered in Banglamung District.
– Hold a certificate of Thai massage training from recognized institutes.
– Wear shirts in the designated colors for each zone and display their membership number for easy identification and supervision.
Zone Allocation
Pattaya City is divided into four zones:
– Pattaya Beach (Yellow): 124 operators
– Wong Amat Beach (Green): 39 operators
– Jomtien Beach, Dongtan (Pink): 119 operators
– Blue Zone (Other various areas): 141 operators
These measures aim to create a positive image for world class family friendly tourism in Pattaya City.
