4 countries to compete in Pattaya International Fireworks Competition this weekend

PATTAYA:--Four countries again will compete for the best pyrotechnics show as the Pattaya International Fireworks Competition returns for a fourth year Nov. 29-30.

Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome said Nov. 20 that Japan, the Philippines, Switzerland and Taiwan will participate in the popular festival which is expected to generate more than 200 million baht revenue for the city.

No official start time for the displays has been announced, although Itthiphol said Beach Road will close each day at 4 p.m. Previous festivals featured booths selling locally made products, a carnival-style parade, shows and concerts.

City officials decided Sept. 6 to revive the event, which was backed in 2010-11 by the Ministry of Defense and floundered without government support last year.

" No official start time for the displays has been announced "

I think someone should have briefed Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome that his workers have already placed banners on a number of those scaffolding structures that give the precise timing of various events over the two days

I saw it last year and it was the best one I've seen, and more than only 4 participants.

the ones the thai locals sell are a bit dangerous when they put them on the ground between two bricks next to a crowd and let them go. sometimes they come adrift and guess who cops it
