Pattaya, Thailand-
Get ready Pattaya for not one but two major parades in a single day which is sure to draw thousands of participants and visitors…but also traffic headaches.
The day in question will be June 24th, 2023, in which both the International PRIDE Parade and Pattaya Festival Parade will run down Pattaya Beach Road.
First up will be the International PRIDE Parade featuring thousands of people celebrating diversity, equality, and inclusivity. This will take place starting from Central Marina and march down Second Road to the Dolphin Roundabout and then down Pattaya Beach to Central Mall. Road closures will start around 3 and the parade is expected to finish around 6.
Next up will be the Pattaya Festival, a special night time parade celebrating all things Pattaya with plenty of colors, neon, and lights. This parade was a major hit in 2022. It will start from 6PM at Terminal 21 and march to Central Mall taking a similar route to the first parade.
As a result roads on the parade route will be closed from 3 PM to 9PM according to Pattaya City Mayor Poramese Ngampiches.
We will provide more exact information as the event draws closer but for now residents should be aware that significant traffic delays and road closures will take place this day.
