The mayor gave an interview to the local press yesterday, unfortunately. The mayor said that due to ongoing concerns about the Covid19 virus in Pattaya and the surrounding area, this year’s Chinese New Year would only be celebrated with ceremonial and religious functions with a small audience, in line with strict Covid19 precautions such as wearing face masks, of social distancing and temperature checks.

In the “normal” years, the Chinese New Year was celebrated with parades, acrobatic shows, food festivals and much more. However, this has not been the case for several years due to the Covid19 pandemic.

However, Mayor Sonthaya added that the city plans to go ahead with plans for a music festival in March and a Songkran festival in April, adding that he and health authorities believe the situation will improve greatly by then. must be to hold these events.
