Pattaya officials have begun preparations to attend the World
Plant Convention in 2014.
At her biweekly meeting with reporters, Pattaya spokeswoman Yuwathida
Jeerapat said more than 40 countries will send representatives to the
exposition in Tsingtao, China, with Pattaya sending a team from Nong
Nooch Tropical Garden.
The two cities, she said, also are collaborating on a new
Pattaya-Tsingtao Coordination Center in the city’s Rubber Valley. Nong
Nooch will invest more than 30 million baht to create a garden at the
2014 event.
Yuwathida said the plant show will help boost Pattaya tourism from
China, as more than 15 million people are expected to attend the plant
show that runs from April through October.
The press conference also gave the newly appointed spokeswoman a chance
to tout the city’s achievements over the past month, including the
success of the Pattaya Vegetarian Festival, efforts to help flooding
victims, and the launch of a new village-development program that offers
communities up to 500,000 baht to manage their own affairs.
