Miss Walking Street 2010 Pageant.

[maipenrai2010]

Miss Walking Street pageant in Pattaya. The event will be held by the Utopia Lounge in Soho Square on February 14th at 8pm and will feature over 40 contestants from many of Walking Streets best bars and go go’s. You might be thinking that this sounds a little redundant because every night is a beauty pageant on Walking street, while this may be true this is a special beauty pageant for a great cause. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the PDA Aids Awareness and Prevention project, and a charity auction will be held at the end of the night, to auction off prizes donated by local sponsors, including a weeks vacation on Phuket and a stay in a luxury villa in Pattaya. The auction will be professionally run by local auctioneer John Collingbourne, in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for the charity.

As well as the many beautiful women vying for your attention there will also be live music provided by the Utopia Lounge house band, fire eaters, jugglers and all manner of street performers for your enjoyment. The pageant starts at 8pm and will have 3 rounds so expect this one to run late.

I’m not sure Valentines day was the best choice of days to hold the pageant on but I hope it works out well for them because it really is for an excellent cause. If you are in Pattaya on Valentines day try and make it out to the Miss Walking Street Pageant, it’s sure to be a good time and it’s definitely for a good cause.

Sorry guys, Miss walking Street has been cancelled, because it seems that not one single bar owner wanted to put one of his/her girls into the pageant.

We spent a lot of time putting this together and some considerable funds as well.

It would have been great publicity for the bar owners, considering the navy landing in town...

Not sure why the bar owners rejected the idea, as it wasnt put together with no funds, no consultation with the Thai authorities etc. I do suspect our contact man may have not presented the pageant well enough to bar owners, but thats speculation.

Again, I do apologize to anyone that was interested in seeing the bars top ladies, strutting their stuff and we hope to have another attempt at convincing bar owners to perhaps let the girls compete in a pageant that would attract international curiosity, via blogs, youtube etc.

Cheers

Thailand Holiday Homes, the organisers of Miss Walking Street 2010, have decided to cancel this proposed charity fund raising event.

Despite repeated attempts to meet with the owners and/or managers of entertainment businesses in the Walking Street business precinct and in spite of leaving information and collateral material at every establishment they felt to be suitable ambassadors for Pattaya's major nighttime entertainment precinct, they have failed to achieve their target of 40 girls.

Accordingly, the organisers will be contacting the extensive list of legitimate Pattaya businesses who had generously donated an extensive range of goods and services for the charity auction, along with media, officials and the crew of the USS Essex who had all thrown their support behind this event and advising them of their decision and instead will focus their philanthropic endeavours in areas that do not evolve around business owners who cannot be contacted. At the same time they will inform these people of those businesses who had agreed to support this event, thereby honouring their commitment to them. Thailand Holiday Homes wishes to thanks those Walking Street business that agreed to participate in this event, in particular, Utopia Lounge, who ha agreed to host this event and put considerable effort into it.

The organisers regret that their endeavours to host a charity fund raising event in an area of business that they gain no direct or indirect benefit from have come to a premature end and are disappointed that the considerable amount of money that would have been raised and donated to the Population and Community Development Association (PDA) will not now occur.

Thailand Holiday Homes will make it's own, albeit considerably smaller, donation to the PDA as well as provide it with details of which establishments in Walking Street declined to participate in this event.

Heard from several bar owners that their way of contacting them was delivering flyers of the event to their doorsteps, about one week before the event ......

Hope the real estate company involved is a bit more professional in their own field of business, but I won't be holding breath here ....
