Saturday March 17 will be a busy day in Pattaya. As well as being the main day at the annual Pattaya Music Festival, the St. Patrick's Day Parade will also take place along the streets of our city.
The success of the 2011 St. Patrick's Day Parade has ensured that the event will now become an annual occasion on the Pattaya social calendar.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome has formed an organising committee with members of the local government, Father Ray Foundation and the local Irish community with the aim of working together to produce the largest and best St. Patrick's Day Parade, not just in Thailand but in South East Asia.
This year's event starts at 11 a.m. with a cultural exhibition on the grounds of School Number 8 near the intersection of South Pattaya Road and Second Road. This is where the decorated floats and marching bands will gather before the main parade at 2 p.m.
Making its way north along Second Road, the procession will finish in front of Alcazar Theatre, where the orchestra from The Regents School will perform favorite Irish tunes.
