Rimmer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 After Chang flap, PBTA seeks new beach umbrella sponsors PATTAYA:--The Pattaya Business & Tourism Association is inviting businesses to put their logos on beach umbrellas and chairs.

The invite comes after Pattaya’s controversial acceptance of Chang-branded umbrellas and chairs from Thai Beverage Co. Critics accused city officials of breaking the law by advertising Chang beer.

Ekasit said any future donors of branded umbrellas and chairs would have to be free of any connection to alcohol.

Muhendis Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Is the Pattaya district municipality so strapped for cash? Why not make them a free donation from town hall. Slogan could be on them something like "no smoking on the beach" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
