Pattaya's main Pride Parade will be this Saturday at 4PM marching from Central Marina on Second Road to Central Pattaya on Beach Road. Through traffic should avoid the area as there will be significant traffic delays. It will be followed by concerts, beauty contests, food events, and fun. It should take about two hours to make the parade route involving over three thousand people and celebrities.
Today is the Pattaya Pride Parade from 4PM marching from Central Marina on Second Road to Central Pattaya Mall. Registration for those who want to march in the parade is from 12-3 at Central Marina.
The parade according to the city will only take up one lane, but in reality is likely to completely stop traffic for several hours as it makes its way to Central Pattaya with thousands of participants, bands, floats, and more. Through traffic should avoid the area.
After the parade will be concerts, shows, beauty contests, and more around Central Pattaya. Additionally, Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin will be in the area this evening and is scheduled to visit Walking Street which should also bring intense traffic and law enforcement.
Have a safe and fun day everyone!

Lots of questions about 60 day visa stamps on arrival. There have been mixed reports today, also depending on nationality and point of entry. The Prime Minister stated earlier he was signing the paperwork today to make it official and that as of 4PM most people were reporting getting the stamp, if they qualified.
However, there are still some reports of confusion or older stamps being issued. As of this second, it has not yet appeared in the Royal Gazette. We suggest those whose trips are critical around these extended stamps to wait until everything is formal and all confusion at various Immigration checkpoints is lifted.
We will have a detailed article on the changes once it is formal and in the Gazette and can be reviewed at length.
Note: These photos are preliminary photos from a few days ago by the Thai government and subject to change without notice.
