Pattaya — Numerous giant kites have been spotted over Pattaya Beach since the “Pattaya International Kite on The Beach” kicked off last Friday, February 24th.

The kite carnival is arranged on the windy beach area in front of the Central Pattaya Beach shopping mall, ranging from February 24th to the 28th.

 

On Saturday, Pattaya Mayor Poramase Ngampiches officially opened the event, saying the Pattaya kite festival 2023 is hosted in collaboration with the Central Pattaya shopping mall, Pattaya City, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Pattaya Office, and several others.

Visitors are invited to travel to the beach to enjoy astonishing and colorful giant kites that linger in the sky over the beach in various sizes and forms such as octopuses, pandas, spaceships, sharks, whales, and more.

 

Some amazing kites are also donned with LED lights that illuminate the beach sky after sunset, adding lots of colors to the beach.

The article doesn't say "spend."  Pattaya mayor said he expects at least 150 million baht to be generated . . . .

 

Very different. The usual ignorant ANF Poster Economics mistake to fit the narrative.

I was on the Pattaya kite festival last year because of my child's curiosity about the event, nothing to see and we left within 10 minutes.

 

150 million? I'm not so sure about this ????
