Pattaya officials reviewed preparations for the three-day Pattaya Countdown music festival.
Mayor Poramet Ngampichet and police chief Pol. Col. Kullachart Kullachai met Dec. 12 to discuss traffic plans and safety ahead of the Dec. 29-31 festival at Bali Hai Pier.
Poramet stressed extensive planning is needed to ensure a smooth event, especially on New Year’s Eve when South Korean pop idols on stage in Pattaya will draw both Thai and foreign fans from far afield.
About 30,000 people are expected to attend each day of the concerts.
Pattaya will set up parking lots around the city and use school buses to shuttle fans to the pier.
Koh Larn also will have its own countdown event that requires joint police-city hall planning, the mayor said.
