Pattaya to host eating contest next weekend, everyone welcome

Pattaya will host a big eating contest next weekend with everyone welcome to join in the fun. Registration is now open for 4 person teams as well as individual contestants to participate in “The War Eating Contest 2020 #1.” The event will be held at the Royal Garden Plaza shopping centre with prizes worth more than 100,000 baht. Even organisers say they expect up to 40 teams to register for the contest on October 10 and 11.

The eating contest requires participants to eat 60 CP brand sausages as fast as they can within 5 minutes with only 5 teams advancing to the final round. Runner-ups can choose to take a further challenge of eating 100 sausages as fast as they can in 10 minutes, with the most amount of sausages eaten the fastest winning the competition.

The team rounds will compete the first day with the individual teams competing the second day. Those who prove themselves to be among the 100 fastest eaters will be challenged to eat 3 x 6 inch Subway sandwiches within 5 minutes. Organisers say the winners will receive a 2 night hotel voucher to the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, a 20,000 baht and 10,000 baht VIP Gift Card and a Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Thailand certificate.

Ripley’s Thailand Facebook Page or www.ripleysthailand.com has all of the info to register. Organisers say the contest is open to all ages, sex and nationalities although minors will need to sign a waiver. There is a 700 baht registration fee which varies depending on the event.
