The Amari Orchid Resort & Spa and Central Center Pattaya celebrated HM
the Queen’s 81st birthday by offering an 81-meter-long persimmon almond
tart, servings of which were sold to raise money for charity.
The hotel and North Pattaya mall sold one-meter slabs of peach-covered
chocolate Aug. 11-14 for 790 baht each and individual slices for 70 baht
for the “One Baht Coins for Life” project and Pattaya’s public schools.
Slices and cakes can also be ordered through Aug. 31 from the Amari.
The 500kg fruity birthday delight was unveiled Aug. 10 at the Amari mall
with hotel executives and local politicians in attendance.
Amari social-development projects director Latiporn Thongkhunna said the
dessert was one of many annual creations to honor HM Queen Sirikit and
also a great way to raise money for needy causes.
The Central Center event also featured performances from the Dance
Studio and a fashion show by sponsoring mothers and children walking the
runway.
