The night of the living dead? Oooo, scary,
scary. Ghosts, zombies, goblins and the walking dead took over Walking
Street on Saturday, Oct. 30 in preparation for Halloween the following
night. This year’s celebration was the biggest yet, with a city
sponsored parade and costume contest.
Ariyawat Nuamsawat
Nearly the entire beach resort turned into a
monster’s bash last weekend when the city sponsored Halloween party
kicked off Saturday, Oct. 30.
After a ghoulish parade from Walking Street in South
Pattaya to Soi 6 in North Pattaya, many of the costumed partiers
gathered at the fair grounds on Beach Road to celebrate Halloween and
welcome in the tourist season.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome said the event, organized
jointly by the city and province, was meant to be a warm up to welcome
tourists before the Loy Krathong holiday on November 21. It was the
second year the city has organized the event.
The weekend kicked off with the parade on Saturday
night, Oct 30, with events staged on Beach Road near the Hard Rock
Hotel, and at the fairgrounds in North Pattaya, featuring Halloween
decorations and a costume contest.
Partygoers were also treated to concerts by GM Grammy
artists Potato, Klear, Zeal, Super Sub, Maha Chamroen, and Pay Ground.
The party continued Sunday night, Oct. 31, as true
Halloween night was celebrated wildly at bars and nightclubs throughout
the city.
Help
me please… I’m so cold.
Trick or treat!
Ghoulish dancers spook the crowd.
Hey
Linus, the Great Pumpkin made it to Pattaya Beach!
Hundreds of walking dead suddenly appeared
on Walking Street, horrifying all in their path.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome is surrounded by zombies.
Is there any hope for his survival!?
