Trump's Claim of Gaza Visit Draws Scrutiny Amid Factual Discrepancies

[tpazzi]

I saw a reference to a promotional event called the "Amazing Pattaya Festival", scheduled for next weekend (Aug 29-31), in this article on tourism levels:

I'm curious if anyone has details on what this will entail?

(A Google search turns up nothing.)

tourist numbers are bad

I just tried sending a question about this to pattayapeople.com in hopes they knew something or could track it down. But their Contact Us page is bouncing e-mails back as undeliverable.

If anyone has contacts there, they might like to know.

Just watch the traffic back up all over town and you will know that the circus is back

It's actually the Amazing Pattaya Seafood Festival and will no doubt involve lots of tents being erected all the way down Beach Road selling various fishy delicacies with the usual traffic jams all over the city.
