Pattaya to hold traditional Songkran fair
Pattaya City will organise a fair to promote Thai traditional values during the Songkran festival from April 12 to 20 in an effort to correct its image as a sex city, the mayor said on Thursday.
Pattaya Mayor Pol Maj-General Anan Charoenchasri said the South Pattaya Walking Street fair will be held on Pattaya Soi 6.
Anan said operators of all types of businesses were asked to join the fair that would include a procession of a sacred Buddha image and traditional games and Songkran water splashing.
He said business operators were asked to take part in the fair by having their employees dress in Thai traditional costumes.
