The concert included a 3-course set menu gala dinner and was held at the “Head of State Chamber” ballroom at the Grand Building on the 2nd floor of the Royal Cliff in Pattaya.

Participants were also excited to find that literally minutes from the start of the event the Chonburi Governor lifted an eight-month ban on alcohol sales due to Covid-19 concerns at restaurants and hotels with proper certification, allowing the SHA+ certified Royal Cliff to legally sell adult beverages for those attending!
