Pattaya, Thailand –The time has gone and past, but not without leaving cherished memories in the hearts of the distinguished delegates from all over the world who congregated at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort and Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH) to take part in its annual event for the 91st Lions Clubs International Convention.
President-Elect, Albert F. Brandel of the International Association of Lions Clubs, presented an honorary plaque award during the closing ceremony at PEACH to Managing Director Panga Vathanakul for the Resort’s contribution in helping to make their prestigious event a complete success from start to finish.
The 2008 Lions Clubs International Convention held at PEACH, promised to be one of the most interesting conventions for the Kingdom of Thailand. Since this was the association’s first international convention in Thailand, the District Governors-Elect from all over the world, choose PEACH to host their seminars prior to going to Bangkok because of our world-famous amenities and state-of-the-art facilities. The delegates at the resort attended daily seminars and made personal connections with international leaders and representatives from headquarters all throughout the world on humanitarian issues and other important projects.
The 1,570 Lions Club Members, who attended the 91st Lions Clubs International Convention for the District Governors-Elect Seminar, were very impressed with the Resort’s amazing facilities and 5-star service, which are often used for high level and prominent exhibitions and conferences all throughout the world.
In a personal statement, Mr. Brandel and his wife Dr. Maureen Murphy attributed the success of this year’s convention to the efforts of the club’s local host committee, led by Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau, and the integrated facilities that the Royal Cliff Beach Resort and PEACH have offered. “Everything has been great and everyone has done a terrific job. Everything was perfect and it will give us a wake-up call when we go elsewhere. Of all such annual events that I have attended, this has been the best in all aspects where facilities and services are concerned.” When asked, he and his wife said that they would love to make another trip back here again either for business or pleasure or both.
Further to that, he also said that the Thai hospitality and service of our staff and management along with the warmth of smiles that he and all the delegates received during their stay with the resort exceeded their expectations beyond expression.
