There is no place on earth where people can ring in the New Year like we can here in Pattaya. The countdown to 2011 began on Christmas night and wraps up New Year’s Eve with a three-hour spectacle at Bali Hai pier starting at 10:30 p.m. City officials have spent about 30 million baht to stage a week of music, shopping and fireworks with the hopes of attracting more than 400,000 people to town. All hotels and entertainment venues will also be holding exciting events. Whatever you choose to do, have a great New Year’s Eve and as always, please use extreme care when driving, and never drive drunk. From all of us in the Pattaya Mail family, we wish you a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous New Year.
