The annual Pinktober parade down Beach Road, with its hundreds of people dressed in pink, is always a big attraction in Pattaya – and one with a good cause as well.
In addition to hosting the event, the Hard Rock is raising funds throughout the month with part of the proceeds from sales of pins, select beverages, souvenirs and bedding sets going to charity. The Hard Rock Hotel also has a limited number of “Pinktober” suites bedecked in pink with 25 percent of the room rate going to breast cancer research.
