It’s Showtime! The annual Jesters Children’s
Fair is this Sunday, September 12th at the Diana
Garden Resort and Driving Range in North Pattaya. And, man, are we ready
to put on a gala happening for you, your families and friends!
The fun officially begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday but,
of course, stallholders will be there much earlier; some from the first
light of dawn to decorate and prepare their stalls. In fact, many
stallholders come the day before on Saturday in the late afternoon, not
only to see the transformation of a driving range into a fairground, but
also to find out their stall location and to move in heavier items.
Even after staging our fair in the very same place
for the last 9 years, some people still have trouble finding their way.
This is understandable as some of the streets in the vicinity of the
venue have multiple names, including the soi where the Diana Garden
Resort is situated.
Consequently we are providing a clearer map to help
you find the way, along with some easy directions.
From Sukhumvit Highway: Whether you are coming
from the north or south, turn off Sukhumvit Highway at the traffic
lights onto Pattaya North Road (Pattaya Nua). After 100 meters, take the
first left and then the very next right. The Diana Garden Resort is
about 100 meters further on your left.
From Pattaya 3rd Road: Proceed on this road
until you see the Pattaya Golf Driving Range to the west (beach side).
Directly across from that is the road you turn into to the east. Follow
the twisting soi till you come to our Fair entrance on the right.
From Central Pattaya Road: Turn north off
Central Pattaya Road at the lights in front of Carrefour onto Soi SS
Villa, or Soi Yume, and continue past the Luk Dod Shop. Just before you
get to North Pattaya Road, you turn left and it’s just 100 meters away
on your left.
Moreover, there will be plenty of signage to the
Diana Garden Resort along all roads and junctions mentioned above to
help you too. Look for not only the Diana signs, but also for the
banners with our friendly yellow-face logos to show you the way.
Alternatives: You can also go to the Diana Inn
on Second Road and catch their shuttle bus to the Fair venue. It leaves
every two hours starting at 7 a.m. Then again, you can take a baht bus
or motorcycle taxi, and simply say ‘Jester’, but be sure you accent the
last syllable, so it sounds like, Jes-STAAR!
And if none of the above works, please call the Diana
Garden Resort at 038 415212-23 for directions in both Thai and English.
