More than 300 employees of 20 Pattaya-area hotels faced off in football
and volleyball as the Thai Hotels Association Eastern Region enjoyed its
annual sports day.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome and association President Bundarik Kusolvitya
opened the Sept. 4 event at Pattaya School No. 7 by overseeing a parade
of 20 floats from Pattaya members. The Siam Bayshore Resort & Spa’s
float dedicated to Thailand joining the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015
won for the second consecutive year. The Cape Dara Resort and Bayview
Hotel placed as runners-up.
“Sports Day for the association is aimed at building stronger
relationships and unity amongst members,” Bundarik said. “In addition,
it’s to urge employees to use their free time productively and
exercising for good health.”
The 300 participants were split into 90 teams and four divisions. They
completed in football, volleyball and cheerleading.
The showcase match pitted the “Pattaya VIPs” against a hotels team. The
VIP team won 2-0.
