The TAT welcomed the delegates on November 28 at the Ocean Marina Yacht Club Pattaya and held a farewell dinner on November 29 at the Grande Center Point Pattaya.

Three free technical tours were organized for the delegates to discover the treasures of Pattaya and the surrounding area by immersing themselves in the culture, enjoying the cuisine and learning about the traditional lifestyle.

These tours include a visit to conservation projects initiated by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej at the Siri Charoenwat Forest Plantation, as well as to the Takhian Tia community, which still maintains the traditional Thai way of life of self-sufficiency. Participants also experience the traditional performing art of Khon before learning to cook Thai food and discovering firsthand how rice—a staple food in Thai cuisine—is cultivated.
