How long should I allow for festivals, events and public celebrations?

Pattaya hosts concerts, sporting events, Songkran celebrations, fireworks and seasonal festivals. Dates, road closures, ticketing and security arrangements are highly time-sensitive. Allow time for Pattaya traffic, ticketing, walking in the heat and breaks rather than using only the advertised activity duration. Families and visitors combining several sites should build in a buffer and avoid crossing the city repeatedly. Event note: Dates, venues, ticketing, road closures and security arrangements are time-sensitive. Use the organiser, Pattaya City or Tourism Authority information close to the event.
