Most encouraging news of the week came on Wednesday when authorities announced a crackdown on crime in Pattaya which will finally make the city "livable". The somewhat quaintly named "Operation rooting out crime for a livable city" is admittedly a bit of a mouthful and we can only wish the boys in brown the best of luck. I mean, where do they start?
It has a sort of "mission impossible" feel to it except there's no Tom Cruise to do the dirty work.
There have, of course, been periodic crackdowns of a similar nature in the past. The best-known in recent years came in 2014 when the Ministry of Wishful Thinking announced plans to transform "Sin City" into a family-oriented paradise.
