Dusit Thani Pattaya officially celebrated the Thai Songkran Festival on 12 April by holding a traditional alms giving ceremony for nine monks from Djitthabhawan Temple. Management and staff of the hotel, led by GM Neoh Kean Boon and EAM Larry Choi, made merit in the traditional manner by pouring scented water over the hands of their elders to pay respect and wish them happiness and good health for the coming year. Hotel guests were also invited to join the activity.
