The Diana Garden Resort in north Pattaya will be the
venue on December 3rd for the Christkindl Fair 201", the sixth in a row to
be staged by the Rotary Club Eastern Seaboard Pattaya (RCES).
What promises to be another fantastic event with an
overriding charitable theme will kick off at 10 a.m. and provide a full day
of family fun until 4 p.m.
Fifteen exhibitors will be showcasing their wares to
allow visitors, both big and small, to get into the traditional Christmas
mood and begin their early Xmas shopping, including purchasing presents for
the family fiesta later in the month.
Santa Claus himself - none other than Jack Levy, Managing
Director of MLG Insurance Brokers – will be making an appearance at the fair
to welcome the bright eyed and excited kids, and a choir from the Pattaya
Orphanage, under the care of Radchada Chomjinda, Director of the Pattaya
Orphanage and CPCD and Human Helping Hand, will be in attendance to sing
Christmas Carols in two sessions during the course of the day to get
everyone in the festive spirit.

The traditional PP Steve Ryser’s Champagne Bar will once
again become the focus point for major fund raising efforts for the RCES,
and at the same time also provide a convenient meeting point for parents and
other visitors to get into a “jovial” mood during the daylong fair.
Another great attraction at the fair will be the
Christkindl tombola and this year the sponsors of the event have been
especially generous and provided some fabulous items to be won.
Prizes this year include 2 airline tickets offered by
Bangkok Airlines from U-Tapao to Phuket, with 2 nights/ 3 days at the
Serenity Resort and Spa Phuket with breakfast for two persons (sponsored by
Urs Aebi); a Suzuki Smash motorbike provided by the Mityon Company Pattaya,
complete with two helmets; 2 nights/ 3 days stay at the Amari Watergate
Bangkok (from Pierre-Andre Pelletier); and fabulous mini breaks at the
Pinnacle Resorts in Pattaya and Koh Tao for two persons.
A voucher for 2 nights stay
at the executive floor lounge of the Amari Water Gate in Bangkok is just one
of the many fabulous prizes up for grabs.
Hilton Hotel Pattaya (Harald Feuerstein), Casa Pascal
Restaurant (Pascal and Kim Schnyder), Bruno’s Restaurant (Fredi Schaub),
Swiss Paradise Village Restaurant (Walter Haeusler), The Thai Garden Resort
Hotel (Rene Pisters), Antonin’s Restaurant and The Swiss Sabai Restaurant in
Eastern Pattaya have all generously provided various lunch and dinner
vouchers to be included in the tombola.
There are also many other great prizes to be won from
handbags to wines, spirits and just simple gifts, and the cost is just 50
baht for 2 tickets.
The Rotary Club Eastern Seaboard Pattaya has been busy
over the last 12 months fulfilling its objectives in helping poor
communities and destitute families throughout the Kingdom. Projects include
the distribution of 1400 warming blankets kindly donated by Swiss
International Airlines with the “Wrap-up a child 2011” program, and, with
the generous help of Centara International Hotels & Resorts, the issuance of
4,000 Drip Filter Units to needy families and villages without access to
fresh water. These have come in especially handy in light of the recent
floods which have caused catastrophic hardship in many areas of Central and
Northern Thailand and now in the capital.
Everyone visiting the Christkindl Fair 2011 at the Diana
Garden Resort can rest assured that all the proceeds from the event will go
towards supporting the humanitarian efforts of the RCES, and what better
time than Christmas to provide a helping hand to those in need.
