PATTAYA, Thailand – Anticipation is reaching a fever pitch for the upcoming spectacle that is the Pattaya International Bikini Beach Race 2023. Kritsana Boonsawat, the Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, presided over a high-energy meeting at Pattaya City Hall on October 5, assembling representatives from various government agencies and organizations to ensure every detail is meticulously planned for the thrilling event.
