Local governments and the Tourism Authority of Thailand
will spend 8 million baht on the 4th Pattaya Food & Hoteliers Expo Aug. 5-7
at the Royal Cliff Hotel.
Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh presided over a June 14
organizing meeting during which officials from the city, Chonburi
Administrative Organization, TAT’s Pattaya office, the Pattaya Business &
Tourism Association and Eastern Thai Food & Beverage Administrative
Association brainstormed ideas to create a lively event.
The event is both a grand food fair for Pattaya residents
and visitors as well as a competition for chefs and a marketplace for
hoteliers and restaurateurs. The food festival in previous years has been
along Beach Road in Pattaya while the business sessions were held at the
PEACH Convention Center at the Royal Cliff.
