Mayor Niran there was a gathering of deputy mayors, the chief advisor to
the mayor, and a member of Pattaya City councilors, all of whom were
warmly welcomed by Sutam Phetchgate, director of the Pattaya City
Office, Koh Larn Branch.
Nearly 1,000 island residents and tourists attended the party, which was
considered a great success and further enhanced Koh Larn’s image as a
tourism destination.
Top of the line country
music singer Tai-Orathai sang a song for the Koh Larn people.
Tai-Orathai’s fans give
her flowers to support her.
Nearly 1,000 Koh Larn
people and tourists attended the party.
