Pattaya — Pattaya’s iconic “PATTAYA CITY” sign is getting a major upgrade to prepare for the city’s New Year Countdown event.

The plan was announced by Mr. Manoch Nongyai, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, who stated that the “PATTAYA CITY” sign, located on Phra Tamnak Hill, is an important landmark that has long attracted tourists from around the world.

 

This iconic symbol of Pattaya has been in place for over 15 years and has naturally deteriorated over time. In response, the city has allocated a budget and hired a contractor to repair and improve the sign.

 

The renovations will include updating the sign’s design, refreshing its colors, and adding vibrant LED lights to illuminate it at night. The contractor has already been assigned the task and has begun work, Mr. Manoch said.

'New Year Countdow' - Spelling error.  It should read 'cowdow'

Yet another 'let's see how we can waste money' project.

No, let's renovate our old sign.

I'm hoping they include words "Family Friendly" in the sign, along with a few go-go dancers, a couple of fat expats sitting on barstools, and maybe a ladyboy smoking a joint.

I don't think the sign is the attraction...

Looking forward to seeing the refreshed design.

Open and transparent competitive tender process?

He's fortunate to have such a skilled brother-in-law😀

Hope it's outrageously gaudy.

Dump a few letters and manufacture another 'T' , then a sign saying 'Tatty' might be more apt!
