There is a Remembrance Day ceremony at Kanchanaburi War Cemetery followed by a smaller ceremony at Chungkai War Cemetery, also in Kanchanaburi. On Sunday 12th November there is a ceremony within the confines of the British Embassy in Bangkok. So far as I know there is no commemoration in Pattaya mainly because the RBL and others tend to travel to Kanchanaburi and/or Bangkok where there are official places of remembrance and official ceremonies. I travel from the Korat area to Kanchanaburi every November and April for Remembrance and ANZAC Days. Many travel by personal transport from Pattaya but there is also a mini-bus I believe, organised by the RBL. You may have left it a bit late to arrange transport and attend the Kanchanaburi but you are welcome to the ceremony and various get-togethers if you would like to travel. I always spend a few days/nights in Kanchanaburi. It is well worth spending a few days there as there is a lot to see and do, particularly to do with the Thailand/Burma Railway where many prisoners of war died during it's construction. If you would like further information please get in touch.
