OCA Coordination Committee

OCA DEEMS AMBASSADOR CITY ‘VERY WISE CHOICE’

The OCA believes the AIMAG organisers have found a self-contained Asian Games Village with the choice of the sprawling Ambassador City hotel and beach resort in Pattaya – the pearl of Chonburi province.

Ambassador City boasts almost 2,000 rooms and will accommodate between 3,500 and 4,000 athletes and officials during the AIMAG. Furthermore, the complex will host several sports, such as billiard/cue sports, chess, kurash and indoor rowing.

Organisers are also planning to establish the Main Media Centre, comprised of the Main Press Centre and International Broadcasting Centre, within the Ambassador City complex.

“It is a very wise choice by the organising committee to have the AIMAG at Ambassador City,” said the OCA’s Asian Games Director, Haider Farman, on the second day of the Coordination Committee visit.

“It’s a great opportunity to have such a facility in Pattaya. We were not expecting to have this number of capacity and facilities needed in the same place regarding venues and accommodation.”

“It will eliminate a lot of services like transportation which will support the sustainability concept of the games and serve the concept of green games,” he said.

“It is really encouraging for the OCA and the organising committee to have more sports in the same place.”

Committee members visited other venues around Pattaya such as indoor athletics and volleyball before heading back to
