The Colors of the East Festival moves to Jomtien Beach this year when the event unfolds for the sixth time May 23-26.
Sponsored by the provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, Chantaburi and Trat, the event features food, sales of locally made goods, tourist souvenirs and other cheap merchandise. Previous festivals have been held on Beach Road, causing massive traffic problems.
Chonburi Gov. Khomsan Ekachai announced the festival May 7 in Bangkok, saying the annual fair this year is managed by Image Corp.
