Pattaya set for more fireworks on Saturday

By The Nation

 

Visitors will be treated to a spectacular show of fireworks over the Pattaya beach for the second consecutive night on Saturday.

 

The show will be part of the Pattaya International Fireworks Festival 2018 that began at 8pm on Friday night.

 

Chon Buri Governor Phakkarathorn Thianchai and Pattaya mayor Anan Charoenchasri presided over the ceremony to launch the festival, which saw huge crowds of Thais and foreigners flock to the Pattaya beach roads.

 

Among the shows on Friday night were fireworks from Brazil and Italy to the cheers of tourists. There were concerts before the Friday night shows ended with fireworks from Sweden and the UK.

More fireworks from the four countries will light up the sky on Saturday night together with concerts from Modern Dog and 25 Hours bands.

Traffic blocked from Beach Road. The main stage is on the beach at the end of Pattaya Klang. The music is loud - I could feel the bass in my chest.

Glad i  stay in central Thailand ??

I attended both nights. It was MUCH busier tonight (Saturday) than yesterday. It took quite a while to push through the crowd near the concert stage to get out. On the second night, the speakers on the right side were totally out of sync with the main stage speakers, which really spoiled the presentation. I was hoping the sound engineers would have fixed it after the first show, but no, that's expecting too much.

That's a strange comment. If the traffic on 2 nights of the year bothers you, you just stay at home - problem solved. That's no reason to hide in Central Thailand.

 

It was a spectacular show and worth a bit of inconvenience due to traffic.

Why bother? heard in a bar last night"Can have a fireworks display anytime in Pattaya, just tell the Ladyboy he needs a shave, then you will get all the fireworks you can handle" ha ha.
