The Skål Club of Pattaya and East Thailand celebrated the end of a very successful 2013 with a Beach BBQ at the Pinnacle Grand Jomtien Resort & Spa.
The local Skål treasurer is Ingo Raeuber, who is also the GM of the Pinnacle Group. Ingo put together an evening of food and fun for the 60 members and guests who could relax and get the sand between their toes on the Pinnacle beach.
After welcoming everyone, the President Tony Malhotra recited the Skål toast in Thai, followed by the presentation in English given by the most senior member, Ferenc Fricsay.

A lavish BBQ was offered, with both Thai and International items, as befitting for such an international tourism organization as Skål.
Musical dance and entertainment was given by members of the Pinnacle staff who could be seen running from the stage to the dressing area to return in another spectacular dance show!
