Deputy Mayor Wattana Chantanawaranon
discuses with a committee plans for this year’s Children’s Day
activities.
Vittaya Yoondorn
Pattaya’s 11 schools will serve up traditional Thai
food and music for National Children’s and Teachers Day Jan. 14.
At a Dec. 16 Pattaya City Hall meeting, Deputy Mayor
Wattana Chantanawaranon told representatives from the neighborhoods
surrounding the city’s public schools that each community would be
allotted 15,000 baht to prepare a menu of meals, desserts and beverages
and to prepare its concert.
The per-neighborhood budget was raised 50 percent
this year after Thailand’s flooding crisis, which has seen commodities
prices increase, he said.
In addition to fried and grilled dishes, the students
and teachers will put on shows featuring singing, acting and dancing at
city hall from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
There also will be a question-and-answer session for
the kids with prizes and awards.
