The local branch of the YWCA, in co-operation with Pattaya City Hall held a press conference on June 12 to announce a special beach walk-run along Pattaya beach to help raise funds for local children’s and women’s charities.
The race will start at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, in front of Central Pattaya Beach shopping mall, passing the Amari Pattaya Hotel before returning to the start/finish point at the mall. City Hall has asked for the co-operation of beach chair vendors in the area to ensure that the beach area involved is cleared prior to the race taking place.
