Kathmandu, January 21:

Pattaya is gearing up to welcome Delegates at the 8th Asia Pacific Advertising Festival.

With the recent tsunami near the Indonesian island of Sumatra and other countries in Southeast Asia, the organising committee of the 8th Asia Pacific Advertising Festival has extended its sympathies to the friends and families of those people who lost their lives as a result of the tidal waves that hit some coastal regions in several countries of Asia, including the island of Phuket, located in the southern part of Thailand.

The organisers have assured all those who are scheduled to travel to the festival in Thailand that Pattaya did not experience any ill effects of the earthquake and tidal waves thanks to the city’s geographical location. The organisers have further added that all the judges, speakers and all the funs will be there from March 10 to 12 .
