Pattaya —
Pattaya’s iconic “PATTAYA CITY” sign is getting a major upgrade to prepare for the city’s New Year Countdown event.
The plan was announced by Mr. Manoch Nongyai, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, who stated that the “PATTAYA CITY” sign, located on Phra Tamnak Hill, is an important landmark that has long attracted tourists from around the world.
This iconic symbol of Pattaya has been in place for over 15 years and has naturally deteriorated over time. In response, the city has allocated a budget and hired a contractor to repair and improve the sign. The renovations will include updating the sign’s design, refreshing its colors, and adding vibrant LED lights to illuminate it at night. The contractor has already been assigned the task and has begun work, Mr. Manoch said.
The deputy mayor further revealed that Pattaya is now entering its peak tourist season, with many events planned to promote tourism. He has requested the contractor to speed up the renovation to make sure the sign is fully restored before the major New Year’s Pattaya Countdown event.
The goal is to complete the work within 150 days so that the landmark is ready in time for the celebrations, Mr. Manoch concluded.
