The 2nd Rotary Ball is the second charity ball of the Rotary Club of Pattaya Center International. It takes place on Sunday, 29 November 2026, at the Royal Opal Theatre of the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel Pattaya. Guest registration opens at 17:00. Tickets: Regular 2,500฿, VIP 6,000฿.
The organisers themselves call it “a night of people, purpose and a brighter tomorrow”. Behind the neat phrase is a simple idea: get together in style, spend the evening in good company and do something useful along the way. That’s what Rotary clubs around the world are about: service, community, charity. The Pattaya club was founded in 2022, and its members come from Thailand, the UK, the US, France, Russia and other countries. After the club’s meeting in July, we wrote in detail about what it does in the city and how to join.
What happens at the ball
The evening is put together as a proper gala dinner, not a stand-up buffet. The programme has an international dinner, a live jazz band, a ballet show, a fashion show, a host and a DJ. Between the acts comes the thing people actually go to a ball for: dancing, meeting people and talking at long tables.
The venue: the Royal Cliff hotel in Pattaya
The venue suits the occasion. The Royal Cliff sits on Pratamnak Hill, between Pattaya and Jomtien, and is one of the best-known hotels in the city: it hosts conferences and big events. The Royal Opal Theatre is its theatre hall, so lighting and a stage for the ballet and the fashion show won’t be a problem.
Dress code: Contemporary Classic
In plain terms, modern classic. For men, a well-fitting dark suit or a dinner jacket, with a bow tie or a regular tie, whichever you prefer. For women, an evening dress or an elegant cocktail dress. Strict white tie isn’t required, but shorts, flip-flops and Pattaya beachwear are best left at home: this is one of those occasions when you want to look better than usual.
Tickets and booking
There are two types of ticket: Regular at 2,500฿ and VIP at 6,000฿. The organisers don’t spell out on the poster what exactly sets VIP apart, be it seating, the menu or access to a separate area, so ask when you book.
Tickets are booked in advance by bank transfer to the club’s account:
- bank: Kasikorn Bank (KBank);
- account number: 222-351668-3;
- account name: Rotary Club of Pattaya Center International.
Before you transfer, it’s best to message the organisers: confirm that seats are available, choose the ticket type and find out how you’ll get confirmation of the booking.
How to sign up
For help in Russian, the simplest option is to message @StanislavLasygin on Telegram: he’ll answer questions about tickets, seating and the programme, and help with the booking too.
If you’ve long wanted to give an evening dress or a dinner jacket an outing but Pattaya never offered the occasion, here it is. Book early so you’re not left choosing from the last seats on the final day.
Events in Pattaya in November and December 2026
The Rotary Club ball is one of the few events in Pattaya’s calendar where the evening is built around a dress code, live music and charity rather than a bar. If you’re planning your season, next up is Asia’s first full-scale Tomorrowland, which will take place near Pattaya on 11–13 December: what’s known about the festival and tickets.
