Pattaya Mayor Poramese Ngamphichet has praised the highly successful Wan Lai and Songkran Pattaya 2026 festival, which drew crowds exceeding 100,000 people and generated an estimated economic boost of over 1.5 billion baht for the city. The festival, which extended Songkran celebrations beyond the national holiday period, featured water fights, cultural performances, and entertainment across multiple venues. Hotels reported near-full occupancy during the festival period, and restaurants and bars across the city saw record revenues. The success has cemented Pattaya's position as Thailand's premier Songkran destination.
