Pattaya â
The organizers of the world-renowned dragon boat competition, âWorld Dragon Boat Racing Championships,â said they would hold their 2023 competition in Pattaya instead of Hong Kong due to the latter’s stringent Covid-19 regulations.
The competition usually takes place in Hong Kong, but due to Chinaâs and Hong Kong’s stringent COVID-19 regulations that intend to keep the number of COVID-19 patients at zero, the Hong Kong China Dragon Boat Association thus said they had to hold the 2023 competition in Pattaya instead.
The decision was concluded at the associationâs online conference on September 17th, with a confirmation that the World Dragon Boat Racing Championships will take place in Pattaya on August, 2023.
âHong Kongâs current quarantine and isolation arrangements for visitors are still more stringent than that of other countries,â the group stated.
With Chinaâs zero-Covid policy, most sport events involving large gatherings are held with difficulties, TPN notes.
