Pattaya Festival

01 Apr 2012 - 30 Apr 2012
Place: Pattaya

Pattaya Festival is part of the larger, provincial Chonburi Festival - an annual activity organised by the people of Chonburi since 1932. The festival combines the festivals of Puttha Sihing, Songkran and the Red Cross Fair together into one. Its activities include a procession for venerating the Pra Puttha Sihing Buddha image, water pouring for the elders, folk games, Khon or classical masked-dances from the Department of Fine Arts, cultural performance, exhibitions and stalls.

Pattaya Festival puts on its most festive face for this annual event, held in mid-April at the height of the summer season. The festival usually involves an extensive calendar of sporting events and contests such as a Grand Prix and go-kart racing, sailing regattas, windsurfing, fishing and beauty competitions as well as stalls selling local food and crafts, and a spectacular display of fireworks on the beach.

There is always lots going around in Pattaya in April so make sure to book your Pattaya Hotel well in advance.
