Berty100 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 What is it about? these days i see banners avery 50 meters along Sukhumvit about white rally, and they have some government logos on them. As usual white rally is the only English language on the banners, so I'm unable to read what's about, but I have such a strange feeling that it has something to do with a protest. Anyway, if it is an event and they get 1 visitor for every banner they placed along Sukhumvit, then it will be very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecropper Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's more likely that someone will get one million baht for every banner placed there, this being Pattaya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 There was a group of anti-government protesters, V or something they were called, who wore white masks when they held their rallies? Same thing or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berty100 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) No idea if it has to do something with the white masks, since " white rally " and further down the banner " Pattaya white rally " are the only English words on the banner. I'll try to take a picture next time i'm in Pattaya, but for sure someone else must have noticed them, since there are plenty and they are large and easily notable.

Seizetheday Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's not the Ku Klux Klan coming to Pattaya is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's not more colour politics is it? After the red shirts, the blue shirts, the green shirts, the black shirts, et al, maybe someone's decided it's time for the white shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group that recently protested in Bangkok were white shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's not the Ku Klux Klan coming to Pattaya is it? Hope so, pulled my outfit from the cupboard and sent it to the drycleaners already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Some "fun" and "activity" event taking place on the area of Pattaya City School #8. Likely some Thai pop, "idols" singing etc.? Wednesday, May 18th, 12:30 to 17:00h. Maybe I can find where this school is. Quite clear that it is not directed to foreigners at all.

KhunBENQ Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) It's the well know school area at the junction of South Pattaya and 2nd rd opposite the Wat Chai Mongkhon (temple). https://goo.gl/maps/xXe3kroLNsP2 So be prepared for some extra traffic chaos on Wednesday Maybe some "schools open" event.

johng Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Yes it looks like some Tv 15 minute of fame from one of the "Idol" shows will be coming to Pattaya along with some other invited guest artists ( none named ) At the bottom of the poster it says Pattaya "white" combine forces to build a white city of Pattaya ! ?????????????

Farma Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 A couple of years ago there was a "Pattaya White" campaign to make Pattaya a drug free area. Wonder if this is related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Maybe someone can use his zoom lens to make the two logos on top of the banner become readable Could help to find out what the motivation behind is. Above post sounds plausible. A "drug free schools" campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
