Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome Pattaya poses for a group picture with trainers and Pattaya Women’s Development Group.
The group’s idea was that members could create products that can be marketed through city hall’s proposed “Pattaya brand” program, which seeks to market unique, locally made items from the city’s 38 communities.
The Pattaya Women’s Development Group was formed to develop Pattaya women gain knowledge and skills to be self-dependent, founders said.
