A Sea of Red, White, and Blue — Pattaya’s hillside sign lights up with the Thai flag, sending a message of unity and sovereignty. PATTAYA, Thailand – The iconic “PATTAYA CITY” sign on Pratamnak Hill was illuminated this week in the vibrant red, white, and blue of the Thai national flag, delivering a powerful message of national pride and sovereignty. The display was commissioned by Pattaya Mayor Poramet Ngampichet, who instructed city departments to light the sign as a symbol of Thai identity and a firm declaration: “This land shall not be invaded.” “This is a proud nation that will never submit,” said a city official. “It’s more than just lights — it’s a statement to the world about who we are.” The timing of the illumination is especially poignant amid ongoing tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border. City officials say the lighting serves to reaffirm Thai unity and patriotism during these sensitive times. “This land belongs to Thailand and will not be violated,” echoed one social media comment, capturing the widespread patriotic sentiment. “This Land Shall Not Be Invaded” — Mayor Poramet orders patriotic lighting to showcase Thailand’s proud, independent spirit. Residents and tourists alike admired the colorful display. “It’s not just beautiful,” one local posted online, “it’s a reminder that Thailand stands strong.” Others praised the view from afar, calling it one of the most striking national displays Pattaya has seen in recent years. The response on social media was overwhelmingly positive, with comments such as: “Pattaya is so beautiful!” “Outstanding — Thailand, keep fighting!” “The best view from the beach!” “Please keep this lighting forever — it gives tourists something memorable and proud to take home.” From the beach to the skyline, the message is clear: Pattaya is glowing with Thai pride — and it’s not afraid to show it. Locals cheer the display — “Pattaya is beautiful,” “So elegant,” and “Thailand, fight on!” flood social media.   More Than Just Lights — The display becomes a photo-worthy symbol of Thailand’s national pride seen from beach to skyline.
