Pattaya business leaders will try to promote the city as a
center for business meetings and conventions with a concert by the Dutch
Swing College Band Nov. 27 at Central Festival Pattaya Beach.
Pattaya Business & Tourism Association President Sinchai
Wattanasartsathorn chaired a planning meeting at city hall Nov. 11 with
the event’s co-sponsors, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Chonburi
Tourism and Sports office, and Bangkok Hospital Pattaya.
The concert is aimed at drawing attention to Pattaya’s capabilities to
host “meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions.” The PBTA said
it will show tourists that Pattaya is normal, safe and has high-standard
MICE facilities.
The concert kicks off at the mall’s beachfront sunken amphitheater at 6
p.m. with the first show by the Dutch Swing College Band, which was
first formed in 1945 by bandleader and clarinetist/saxophonist Peter
Schilperoort and has gained a large international following.
A performance from the Alcatraz transgender cabaret will follow with the
Dutch Swing College Band taking the stage again for a second set.
