This Month in Discover Pattaya Hi Everyone, Discover Pattaya has been invited to some very distinguished events over the last few weeks. Firstly, Jana's installation at Pattaya International Rotary Club and our cover story for this edition. Then we were delighted to attend an informal gathering to welcome the British Ambassador to Pattaya and the picturesque Khao Chi Chan Festival shown above in front of the Big Buddha Hill. The team were also busy handing out copies of the magazine at Mega Bangna's Property Sale and will also be doing so next month at the Dot Property Awards to be held at The Park Hyatt, Bangkok. It is our absolute pleasure to be able to spread the word and encourage visitors from the capital to Discover Pattaya. If you would like to be included in the magazine please contact me: at gloria@pattayatrader.com and subscribe to the Pattaya Trader YouTube channel for monthly updates. Really good to see events happening again. Long may it continue! Gloria gloria@patttayatrader.com
