Pattaya’s Hard Rock Hotel celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first-ever Hard Rock Cafe by inviting students from Ban Amphor School for lunch and cleaning up Pattaya Beach.
Twenty-one students enjoyed a meal and games with cafe staff, then picked up trash on the beach from Central Road to Soi 6. The day wrapped with “Rock Agent” games at the Hard Rock Hotel’s pool.
