Shamrocks ready for St. Patrick’s Day parade March 17
PATTAYA:--The shamrocks and leprechauns are ready as the Father Ray Foundation and local Irish groups plan to take to the streets for Pattaya’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Father Ray representative Ajjima Chaowalitthumrong said the March 17 celebration is funded by 2 million baht from city hall for the fourth consecutive year. Ajjima said no fewer than 30 floats are expected for the parade, which will be filmed live.

This year’s parade route will begin on Second Road at the Alcazar Theatre and turn onto Soi 4 before marching down Beach Road to Walking Street. The parade then turns on South Road and ends at Pattaya School No. 8.

Two lanes of traffic will be closed for the parade, which runs from 3-4:30 p.m.
