What exactly were you expecting? It's for the kids after all, not a balloon chase. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you found it boring it doesn't mean you can't donate or help the kids mate. It's not a "Ride". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Pat Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I went to this last year, I was expecting a lot more since evreyone was banging on about it like it is this great day out but it isn't at all, pretty boring IMO. What exactly were you expecting? It's for the kids after all, not a balloon chase. Erh, yea I'm aware of that, but thanks for letting me know. You say it's for the kids? Well what is for the kids exactly? 1 or 2 lousy rides and a bouncy castle? Point I'm making is last year it was built up on here so much that I was expecting this huge fete with plenty going on for the KIDS etc. I was new in Pattaya then and I have 2 KIDS myself so went along and was hugely disappointed...not many people there and you could walk around the place within 10 - 15 minutes. Now I appreciate most expats here have nothing to do except drink, but was slightly suprised at the big build up for what was very little in terms of being a day out etc... PS: Not a balloon chase? Why would it be a balloon chase? Are they meant to be good then? Edited August 30, 2013 by Pattaya Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a young band English trio who came to Pattaya a few years back and played a few venues including mine a few times. After a few visits they recorded a single and started to get a good following in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyLui Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The new venue at Regent's School was chosen as Diana was unavailable this year. Regent's has better parking, grass and facilities. For those who don't have transport or don't want to take their car/bike out to Regent's, there will be a shuttle bus service leaving from the Father Ray Foundation on Sukhumvit Road all day. For more details please see our website care4kids dot info We also have new activities this year along with the usual 20+ children's game stalls, food and drink, other merchandise and a full stage show all day. We also need used books If you have any questions please contact us through our website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole 12 MINUTE DRIVE from Sukhumvit on the Highway 7 spur. You can't get to the Diana from ANYWHERE in 12 minutes! There's shuttle bus service too. Come on, you lot need a much better excuse for your apathy than that! Edited September 6, 2013 by NanLaew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Pat Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I went today, waste of time, was in and out in 30 minutes. All it was was a couple of stools touting their business, even the local scammers De Vere's were there for heavens sake, do they give money to charity? A couple of stalls selling jam and marmalade and a couple of book stalls.. I took my 2 kids, waste of time. I thought this was meant to be a family day out? What was there for kids? No rides, not even a bouncy castle...nothing for the kids! There actually wasn't many children there so maybe I have misunderstood the entire concept of this event? Won't be bothering next year.
