Join Us for the Ultimate Songkran Celebration at Bricks and Barrels – April 19, 2025

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 19, 2025, as Beach Road transforms into a vibrant hub of water fights, music, and festivities.
Our esteemed Rotarian, Don Dharma, owner of the renowned Bricks and Barrels on Beach Road, extends a warm invitation to all Rotarians and friends to join the AQUA PARTY.
Starting at 11:00 AM and continuing until late, this event promises an unforgettable day filled with:

Non-stop water splashing – embrace the joyous spirit of Songkran.

Live DJ performances – dance to electrifying tunes throughout the day and night.

Delicious food and refreshing drinks – savor a variety of culinary delights and beverages.

Whether you’re a long-time resident or a visitor, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the essence of Songkran in the heart of Pattaya. Bring your water guns, wear your brightest attire, and get ready to make a splash!

Understanding Songkran: A Blend of Tradition and Celebration

Songkran, derived from the Sanskrit word “saṅkrānti,” meaning “astrological passage,” marks the transition of the sun into Aries and signifies the Thai New Year. Traditionally observed from April 13 to 15, the festival has evolved into a nationwide celebration extending over several days, especially in tourist hotspots like Pattaya.
Rooted in ancient customs, Songkran is a time for:

Paying respects to elders – through the gentle pouring of water, symbolizing purification and the washing away of sins.

Visiting temples – to offer food to monks and participate in traditional rituals.

Community gatherings – strengthening bonds with family and neighbors.

Over time, these solemn traditions have been complemented by lively water fights, parades, and public celebrations, making Songkran a unique blend of reverence and revelry.

Don’t miss out on this spectacular event that encapsulates the spirit of Songkran. We look forward to celebrating with you!

20 june-INSTALLATION PARTY
2022-06-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Chon Buri
The Rotary Club of Pattaya, the “Mother Club” of Rotary in our city, and also the oldest club in Pattaya since 1972, held its Installation function on Monday 20.

The incoming Club Treasurer Tippawan “Pat” Walker will be the guest speaker, making a power point presentation and speech about her life and what is important in her life. Rotarian Pat will be one of the 3 members who will form the “top leadership” of the Rotary Club of Pattaya in the next Rotary year: 1/7/2022-30/6/2023 together with President-Elect Dan Schwartz and Vice-President/Secretary Elect Ron Cartey. We can all look forward to a well prepared and delivered speech from Rotarian Pat.

What a loving evening full of connection and wisdom where our very own Rotarian Pat told her life story, shared her 13 life lessons with us and showed her deepest vulnerability.

Behind this beautiful woman who radiates a lot of strength is a girl with worries and fears who is looking for happiness and recognition. I’m so grateful that we have built an atmosphere at Rotary where it’s safe to say what’s on our mind.

Sharing what’s bothering you makes you stronger. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness! In addition, others can think along with you. That happened a lot tonight. Sharing is multiplying happiness. Happiness is all about LOVE, starting with loving yourself.

Dearest Pat, I think you are already a loving, meaningful person. Becoming famous doesn’t make you a better person. You are beautiful as you are. You just have to believe it yourself. LIVE LOVE
