The USS Abraham Lincoln docked at Laem Chabang with roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines for a five-day rest and recuperation stop. Around 40 buses will shuttle personnel between the port and Pattaya, and officials hope for an economic boost there. Police are adding patrols in Pattaya's beachfront and nightlife areas after raids. If you run a hotel, bar, restaurant, transport or tour business in Pattaya, expect a short surge in demand, but water sports and some activities are off-limits for the crew.
