PATTAYA, Thailand – As Thailand’s weather gracefully transitions from the rainy season to the cool season, the vibrant city of Pattaya is poised to usher in a spectacle that will illuminate the night sky – the Pattaya International Fireworks Festival. Scheduled from November 24 to 25, this annual extravaganza promises an even grander display with five rounds of fireworks, up from four in previous editions, ensuring an unforgettable experience for both locals and tourists.



Mayor Poramet Ngampichet, the driving force behind this dazzling event, shared his enthusiasm, highlighting its significance beyond entertainment. He emphasized the festival’s role in shaping Pattaya’s positive image and boosting the local economy, contributing not only to the city’s prosperity but also to the broader Chonburi province.



Among the festival’s notable enhancements is the increase in stalls, providing a stage for local residents to showcase and sell their goods. A total of 600 stalls will line the festival grounds, creating an entrepreneurial haven and contributing to the economic vibrancy of the region. This initiative aligns with a broader effort to stimulate economic growth and support the livelihoods of Pattaya’s diverse community.

However, the Pattaya International Fireworks Festival is just one star in the late 2023 season constellation drawing visitors to this picturesque coastal city. The transition to the cool season marks a peak tourist period in Thailand, prompting tourism-related businesses and service industries to actively engage in market-stimulating activities. Booths selling travel packages are set to dot convention centers, shopping malls, and online platforms, targeting travelers eager to explore the enchanting beauty of Thailand.



Chai Wacharong, the Government Spokesperson, extended gratitude to all involved parties, acknowledging the collaborative efforts in advancing the nation’s tourism sector. The collective commitment of the public and private sectors, along with the general public, aligns seamlessly with government policy and plays a pivotal role in propelling Thailand’s economic growth forward. As the fireworks ascend over Pattaya, they symbolize not only a dazzling display but also the collective spirit that fuels the nation’s progress.
