Pattaya City, renowned for its lively atmosphere and thriving tourism industry, is embarking on a journey to cultivate democratic values and knowledge among its youth.

The event garnered the presence of esteemed figures such as Pattaya Mayor Poramet Ngamphichet, Council Chairman Banlue Kullavanijaya, Council Deputy Chairman Wichet Nongyai, and Secretary to the Mayor Phumpipat Kamolnart. Accompanying them were members of the Pattaya City Council, heads of government departments, and students from Pattaya City School Nos. 1-11.

In his address, Permanent-Secretary Pramote Tubtim underscored the significance of the training program.
