Măsuri în Pattaya înainte de sosirea a 5.000 de militari SUA

Authorities in Pattaya are increasing patrols and have made several arrests ahead of the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Approximately 5,000 sailors and marines have been at sea for over 200 days. While the visit is seen as an economic boost for the city, there are concerns about a potential rise in prostitution and sexual exploitation. The carrier is set to dock near Pattaya, and local police are intensifying efforts to control illegal activities. The local tourism industry is optimistic about the economic impact, with estimates suggesting each sailor could spend significantly during their stay. However, experts warn of the risks associated with such a large influx of visitors, including potential exploitation and health issues among military personnel.
