Pattaya’s New Year’s Celebrations go off without major problems, Musical artist BamBam draws crowd of thousands

[Jonathan Fairfield]

 

2021 is now in the rear-view mirror and Pattaya celebrated it with flair, with fireworks, concerts, markets, temples, and more full of people marking the end of what had been an incredibly difficult year for Pattaya and indeed much of the world.

 

Although there were plenty of Covid-19 precautions last night, such as requirements at official events at Bali Hai Pier for being fully vaccinated AND recently tested, the many that went out still appeared to make the best of the situation.

 

The biggest countdown event was at Bali Hai and the biggest star was BamBam, a Thai-born Korean Boy Band/Thai Hip-hop star from the famous Korean Boy band Got7, which had hundreds of fans lined up and waiting for roughly sixteen hours before the event even began! We are aware that the English-speaking audience may not be aware of him or follow K-pop or Thai hip-hop, however, so will give a little bit of his background.

 

BamBam, 24, whose name is actually derived from BamBam from the Flintstones, is known for his rapping, dancing, and being a significant fashion influencer with Vogue Thailand recently selecting him as one of the top 100 influencers.

I am wondering what the problems were, only mentioned but no examples

No mention of Bocelli, how much he cost, how many people saw him perform, how many tourists he attracted into Thailand, and the effective cost per individual of bringing him to Thailand.

Probably because it has nothing to do with the story?
