On November 2, Pattaya City hosted a traditional "Loy Krathong Festival". Thais and foreigners, alike, were delighted by the colors and lights that were an essential ingredient of the festival.

Pattaya City, in association with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, organized this year’s Loy Krathong celebration at Bali Hai Pier, South Pattaya. Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome, as chairman, officially began the celebration along with Pattaya City administrators and local citizens.

The lively Loy Krathong celebration featured a Loy Krathong Young Star Beauty Contest, a Loy Krathong Pageant Competition, traditional Thai performances, a concert by rock legend, ‘Modern Dog’ and an appearance by Thai singing sensation, ‘Namcha.’
