Anti-Violence Campaign Comes to Pattaya

Tuesday, July 6, 2010  -  3:30 pm

The “Say No to Violence Against Women” campaign will see 88 groups and 13 playing bands participating in a parade down Beach Road in an effort to bring attention to this global problem.

Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol will preside over the opening ceremony at Central Festival Pattaya Beach at 3:30 pm.  All foreigners are invited to participate in the parade that starts on Pattaya Soi 4, with the 13 symphony orchestras marching musically down to Bali Hai Pier.  The various national groups of foreigners should start to gather near Soi 4, Pattaya Beach Road at 2:00 pm.

All parade participants will receive a campaign t-shirt and a whistle that can be blown to call for help whenever they encounter violence against women.  In addition, activity booths will be set up outside the Royal Garden Plaza offering information and educational materials, along with stickers, fans and other promotional items.

This is a great opportunity for all foreigners to show community spirit, and join the local Thai people in paying respect to the Royal Family and their projects.  (Please dress respectfully.)

Hope to see you there.
