Pattaya International Bed Race 2012
The 4th annual Pattaya International Bed Race will take place on January 29, 2012 right on beach road. Organized by the Rotary Club of Pattaya and Pattaya City Hall, the event has been a huge success the past 2 years and looks to be a permanent event on the Pattaya calender.
The Pattaya International Bed Race has been great fun for both tourists and participants alike over the past 2 years and all the proceeds go to fund the many charities that the Rotary Club of Pattaya sponsor. In just 3 years the event has raised over 300 million baht for charity.
The festivities will begin at 5pm in front of Central Festival Mall on Beach Road where there will be a stage set up with live music and dancing. You can sit and enjoy the music while watching the beds start to line up for the official Pattaya International Bed Race parade that will commence at 6pm. Now, depending on how late the stragglers are and or just how drunk they may be the parade will start at Central festival and make the loop to second road and back to Central Festival where the actual race will begin at 7pm.
At 8:30pm or sometime afterwards depending on how long the race takes an awards ceremony will take place on Walking Street.
If you are in town please don’t miss this event as it is truly a blast to watch and all monies collected by the individual teams and the Rotary Club, which will have a nice raffle, goes to help Pattaya charities.
Last year 30 teams took part in the Pattaya International Bed Race and you can bet there will be just as many this year. I’ll be there taking pictures for those of you not lucky enough to be in town.

Talen – I like the photo of the two Thai babes at the top of the post. Very sweet.
Get your camera clicking like crazy on the 29th and I’ll look forward to drooling over more photos of Pattaya’s International Bed Race babes.

Acadia, the world bed race association lost all credibility years ago when it specified in it’s rules that only twin beds could be used and be fitted with sheets with hospital corners.

I was there this evening and watched the bed race 2012, a great turn out and all had fun, my old mate Dave from Canterbury Tales Bookshop was in drag as usual and was some very nice girls on show.
