Pattaya International Bed Race 2010

Teams are invited to join the “Pattaya International Bed Race 2010” with a Bed Racing Team, and join the fun and at the same time raise funds for Rotary sponsored charity projects. The registration fee for one Bed Racing Team is 5,000 baht. Last year’s Bed Race received so much press attention and became an instant success event in the history of Pattaya receiving international press coverage on TV, Internet and print around the world. This year Reuters News Agency again will cover the event and send video and text reports to thousands of TV stations and newspapers around the world. We also expect a massive media coverage in national and local media.

The second “Pattaya International Bed Race” is scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 31 at 12:00 pm. This will be bigger with more than 20,000 people attending with an expected 100 bed teams taking part. A whole day’s event is planned with lots of entertainment including a bed parade. There will be a Family Fair with games and lots of fun and after the actual bed race there will be a big Rotary New Year Party. The location will be Pattaya Second Road in front of The Avenue Pattaya shopping mall. The route of the race will start and end at The Avenue. Teams will turn through Soi 12 down to Beach Road, then turn left down South Pattaya Road and then left back into Second Road to the finishing line in front of The Avenue Pattaya.

Organized by the Rotary Club of Pattaya in partnership with Pattaya City Hall, the Bed Race will provide great social activity for everyone in the Pattaya community to participate and enjoy! Hopefully, it will bring all
 the bars, clubs, community groups and businesses together and attract sponsors for this unique, not to be missed, event in Thailand.

The idea of a Bed Race is a very popular fundraising and family activity in many countries around the world including the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. It is a tried and tested successful way of raising money for local charities and community projects. It involves teams of up to six members dressed as outrageous and funny as possible, pushing their spectacularly decorated beds from a designated starting point to the finishing line. The object is to not only get to the line in the shortest time but also to keep the designated passenger to remain on the bed at all times.

This second Bed Push Race in Pattaya will be a major undertaking by the Rotary Club of Pattaya and will undoubtedly help promote Pattaya as a fun, family resort. It will provide good wholesome family entertainment in a safe environment, whilst bringing together the multi faceted groups working for a better community, and will become an annual event on the Pattaya Calendar.
