Mr. Lauren Legrauel, Managing Director of the Hard Rock Cafe, Mr. Wirawat Khakhai, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, and Dr. Pichit Gungwonjit, Director of The Bangkok Hospital Pattaya jointly opened the Pinktober at the Hard Rock Hotel, Pattaya.

The event was held at the famous Hard Rock Café and was attended by guests in pink colored clothes who generously bought signature breast cancer key chains, while quenching their thirst with the Pinktober cocktail and ‘mocktails.’ For each drink sold, fifty baht was donated to the ‘Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation.’ Limited edition Pinktober paraphernalia, such as t-shirts and pins, were also popular. Fifteen percent of the proceeds from the sales of these items went to breast cancer awareness.

In attendance was Mr. Wirawat Khakhai, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, as well as, Mr. Nitti Kongkrut, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Pattaya Office, Dr. Pichit Gungwonjit, Director of The Bangkok Hospital Pattaya and Mr. Lauren Legrauel, Manager of the Hard Rock Café.

Hard Rock Hotels, worldwide, organize ‘Pinktober’ every October to educate and create awareness about breast cancer. The main purpose of the fundraising is to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, as well as, the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. This is the tenth year that this event has taken place.

The special breast cancer souvenirs, as well as, the cocktails and ‘mocktails’ will be available throughout October. Pattaya Times urges both Thais and foreigners to support this worthy cause by purchasing souvenir items or buying a Pinktober cocktail (if you’re not driving) or many Pinktober ‘mocktails’, if you are.
