Pattaya celebrates Halloween.

Friday Night was fright-night here in Pattaya as the City celebrated Halloween. We began the night at the Royal Garden Plaza in South Pattaya where Ripley’s Believe it or not! Held a ghostly fair where members of the public were given the opportunity to be transformed into scary ghosts and ghouls. We then made our way to Walking Street where plenty of bar workers and tourists made the effort and dressed up for the occasion. Many of the bars held Halloween Parties which proved extremely popular as many bar owners reported good trade during the night.

Saturday 1st November 2008.

Not another "spurious" news article from our revered local media !

After all, according to some Pattaya is dead right now ! One foot in the grave and the fat lady has already sung !

Could it be a "one off" ? Back to being a ghost town now ?

Not sure about other areas, but the place I was at was packed (it was also someone's birthday). The staff tried to dress up a bit, using make-up to make them look (more) ghoulish.

Seems to be a popular theme in Pattaya (some would say all year, ghouls feeding on customers, just prettier looking most of the time).
