Pattaya is cooking up a witch’s brew of parades and
contests for its annual Halloween Festival Oct. 30-31.
The 6 million baht event kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday
night, October 30, with a parade along Beach Road from Walking Street to
the Hard Rock Hotel. There ghouls and goblins will vie for 150,000 baht
in prizes in a Halloween costume contest.
The event is sponsored by the city, Chonburi Province
and the Tourism Authority of Thailand in hopes of scaring up additional
tourists for the city.
