Each April, Pattaya celebrates itself with a week long festival of music, dance, beauty contests, parades, sandcastle contests and partying. Usually held at the beginning of April prior to the start of the rainy season in May, the festival is intended to promote Pattaya as a premier tourist destination.
While there are stalls selling local delicacies and exhibitions of traditional sports like Thai boxing, the Pattaya celebration is not meant to be an example of authentic Thai culture. Rather, Pattaya uses the occasion to revel in its unique reputation as a cosmopolitan seaside city which appeals to the self-indulgent pleasures of the international tourist. The concerts, sound and light shows and fireworks displays on the beach make the Pattaya Festival a lively and special time to visit Thailand's most famous resort destination.

The Royal Trophy – Europe vs Asia Golf Championship
Date : 9 -11 January 2009
Venue : Amata Spring Country Club, Chonburi

Chonburi Buffalo Race
The Kentucky Derby may be more famous, but Chonburi has some racing tradition of its own. What makes it special is that it's a farmers' event.
Farmers bring their buffalos and comely daughters draped with multi-coloured satin cloths (the buffalos, not the daughters) to the lawns of the Provincial Hall. They race and they strut their stuff (the buffalos, not the daughters). Best looking and best decorated buffalo competitions vary in excitement when compared to the races.
Now it's time for the comely daughters - a beauty contest where the daughters and other girls compete for the title of "Nong Nang Ban Na" or beautiful farm maiden.
