Joins forces with local partners on Eastern Seaboard
Mövenpick Siam Hotel Pattaya has launched a program of family oriented activities in partnership with Siam Music Yamaha, Siam Country Club Pattaya and the Thailand Equestrian Federation, based on active and engaging vacation experiences that provide young visitors and their parents with an opportunity to learn together.
The program was announced during a press conference held at the Pacific City Club in Bangkok, which also included an introduction by Suladda Sarutilavan, TAT Pattaya office director.
According to Ms. Suladda, TAT is keen to promote the Eastern Seaboard region as a family destination. “Pattaya is home to a vast choice of attractions and activities, including fascinating cultural sites and temples, championship golf courses, first-class marinas, water parks, as well as diverse shopping options and endless culinary delights.”
Dr. Peerawat Chookhiatti, managing director of Siam Music Yamaha, pointed out the musical side to the greater Pattaya region. “Pattaya is already home to several popular music events and the surroundings provide the perfect inspiration for children and adults to learn an instrument, make music or enjoy live musical performances. The annual Yamaha Thailand Music Festival – a competition we run for Yamaha music students around the country – attracts thousands of entries, including a large number of students from our Pattaya branch.”
Another activity that is attracting increasing attention for Pattaya is Polo. Nara Ketusingha, secretary general & manager of the Thailand Equestrian Federation said, “Polo and other equestrian sports are gaining a greater public profile in Thailand. Learning to take care of horses and building a relationship with such intelligent animals is a highly valuable experience for children.”
Tyrone Renggli, head of instruction & CEO of TPR Golf Academy at Siam Country Club Pattaya, echoed the value of learning and new experiences as a way for children to develop important life skills. “When you teach children to play golf, they learn about concentration and discipline. In teaching kids to golf, we introduce them to new interests they can share not only with their friends but also with other generations.”
Mövenpick Siam Hotel Pattaya GM Marc Sittl said, “We place great emphasis on families at Mövenpick Siam Hotel Pattaya and our facilities and services strengthen the hotel’s position as the best place for a family vacation in this part of Thailand. There really is something for everyone around Pattaya, and with our partners we can offer a wide range if interesting new experiences that will continue to draw Thai and international tourists to this part of Thailand.”
