Early rain gave everyone a scare, but once the sun went down, it was ghouls and goblins, not flood waters, that filled the streets for another colorful Halloween in Pattaya.
Visiting revelers competed with bar employees on Walking Street for who could craft the scariest makeup. Bars ran promotions to bring out crowds, who gave the entertainment zone a festive launch to high season.
