PATTAYA: On 20th of May, at the Dusit Thai Hotel Pattaya, Chonburi, the Triathlon Super Series Commitee hosted the games. They set up a headquarter for registration and welcomed over 17000 Ironman participants. Ironman participants both Thai and Foreigners came from all over the world to take part in the games.

This is the 2nd Annual Triathlon Games and it has gained wide interest from International competitors.

With Pattaya being fully equipped to handle the games, good security, and having great weather, we were nominated to be the number 1 New Triathlon League in Asia.

17000? I think not.

Unlike the photo above it looked like about 90% of participants were Thai.

17,000? Hardly. Was there in the am for the start and I'd guess a 1,000. Majority were Thai: guessing maybe 70%.

Appeared to be well run with none of the hiccups of the last marathon.

The result was massive delays for anyone that had to travel on Sukhumvit early on Saturday and anywhere in Pattaya later on

Next time publish a map, so the rest of us can plan alternative routes

I think they just added a 0 by mistake. 1700 seems to be more correct. And I would guess maybe 100 of them were foreigners. Edited May 23, 2016 by balo
