The city is set to host the Pattaya Night Run 2018 on Saturday, March 3 as part of a new tourism promotion strategy.

The Chonburi Provincial Office of Tourism and Sports, together with Pattaya Municipality and related agencies, recently held a press conference on the upcoming event.  Among the attendees were Deputy Governor of Chonburi, Chaicharn Aeimjaroen, Pattaya City Mayor Anan Charoenchasri and representatives of the Provincial Office of Tourism and Sports, Provincial Public Relations Office and Pattaya Business and Tourism Association.

The main Fun Run event will see participants get to run in a nighttime setting through Pattaya, with upbeat music, laser displays and light tunnels throughout the course.  Another special feature is an art corner, where runners can splatter themselves with glow-in-the-dark paints.

On the sidelines of Fun Run, there will be a concert featuring the hit girl band BNK48 and Ae Jirakorn. Other fun activities include a costume contest, which is divided into individual and group categories, and the “Run for More Likes” photo contest on social media. Many prizes will be up for grabs.

The Pattaya Night Run, which is the first of its kind, gets underway at Bali Hai Pier on Saturday from 6 pm until midnight.  For more information call 095-675-6999, 097-153-2442.
