Songkran equals seafood for many Thais visiting Pattaya and Naklua as vendors and restaurants reaped the benefits.
Jay Lod, a Lan Po market seafood barbecue restaurant did strong business over the five-day holiday.
Owner Rinna Ruksarach said the five days before the April 13-17 holiday were quiet, but once Songkran hit, things boomed. Rinna sells grilled and steamed seafood for dine-in or takeout and said she didn’t raise her prices this year.
She just wishes Songkran was every month, as things will get quieter again.
