Pattaya officials tightened enforcement of odd-even parking rules on South Pattaya Road, sparking criticism from residents who accuse the city of selective crackdowns. The Pattaya City Administration recently announced tighter enforcement of the regulation, which requires vehicles to park on alternating sides of the street depending on the date. Signs along South Pattaya Road now warn: “Follow odd–even days strictly, or risk fines.”Officials say the rule is designed to ease congestion, improve safety, and keep streets orderly. Many locals claim that selective enforcement undermines confidence in Pattaya’s ability to manage traffic fairly and effectively. In June, Pattaya traffic police launched a firm crackdown on illegal parking, warning that all vehicles, from sports cars to taxis, must obey the odd-even parking schedule on South Pattaya’s streets.
