On Tuesday morning (4^th) at Pattaya City Hall, Mayor Ittipon Khunpleum and the City Managers performed a Blessing Ceremony for the officials of Pattaya City Hall.   The Mayor began the blessings by showing his appreciation for everyone’s hard work, and humbly invited the blessings from the Three Gems of Buddhism, which are the Lord Buddha, the True Teachings and the Great Monks from the past till the present time. The prayers also sought the power of all angels to protect the officials and their families to be safe, positive, wise and happy throughout the year.

After the blessings of the Mayor, the City Managers came up on the stage and blessed the officials and their families, bringing smiles and blissful feelings to all officials attending, until the large plaza in front of City Hall almost seemed too small for such a joyous occasion.
