On Thursday evening officers from various local and national police divisions and government agencies joined forces with the FBI on Walking Street for a PR exercise to stop child abuse and trafficking.

The parade was organised to take place while Pattaya has the stoplight shining brightly on it for the ASEAN International Fleet Review 2017.

The campaign was aimed at raising awareness to stop child abuse on and offline including human trafficking and pornography.

Members of TICAC – Thailand Internet Crimes Against Children – were also involved in the parade down Walking St where members of the group stopped to discuss their aims with locals and tourists enjoying a drink at bars lining the street.

Several billboards have been put up around Pattaya as part of the campaign that is hoped with show the city as a beach resort for families and tourists – not the sex capital of the world which is how most foreigners view it.
