More than a dozen Chiang Mai conventioneers were hospitalized after
suffering apparent food poisoning at their Pattaya hotel.
Sawang Boriboon Foundation medics and three ambulances were called to the
hotel, which borders Pattaya & Jomtien, June 24 where the 14 adults and
children were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. They were given first
aid and transported to Pattaya Memorial Hospital.
One of the victims said the group was part of a delegation of 100 from
Niyompanit Co. in Chiang Mai who were in Pattaya to reward sales agents for
their work in Lamphun, Sanpatong and Chiang Mai.
The previous night, to mark the end of the three-day seminar, the park
staged a party complete with a seafood buffet, which the victims assumed
caused their ailment.
