Announcements
Like every year during the festive season, Thai
Garden Resort collects donations for its "Toy for Joy"
charity project. We aim at assisting those children that need help. For this
year we have selected the orphans and half orphans of the Sutthawas School
here just outside Pattaya. Organized by their music teacher, several of the
children will perform some Christmas songs on 24th of December from 7 p.m.
onwards at the Lobby of the Thai Garden Resort. Afterwards there will be a
visit by Santa Claus on a motorbike. He will bring presents to the kids.
Everybody is invited to place donations under the Christmas tree at the Thai
Garden Resort Lobby before Christmas or hand them over to Brigitta. Thanks for
your help!
