Pattaya Mayor Poramet said, Dec. 15, that this year’s Dec. 29-31 New Year’s music festival will be themed “The Festival of Seaverse” with a touch of the digital world in Metaverse form.
He said Bali Hai Pier will be transformed into an “underwater world” which is Pattaya’s brand and that patrons had a chance to win an 800,000-baht Isuzu pickup truck.
