Pattaya, Thailand – Koh Larn’s Samae San Beach became the backdrop for a historic celebration of Indian culture and international collaboration as over 2,500 Indian delegates and professionals gathered for a series of ambitious Guinness World Record attempts. The event, spearheaded by prominent Indian investor Gokul Kripa and his team, highlighted both national pride and Thailand’s growing appeal as a destination for large-scale corporate events.
Organized by GOKUL KRIPA SALES AND MARKETING PVT. LTD., the initiative featured three major record challenges: creating the largest Indian national flag displayed in Thailand, coordinating a fleet of more than 60 speedboats adorned with Indian flags in a synchronized sea parade, and delivering the longest speech to a live audience of 2,500 participants.
Gokul Kripa was joined by senior company executives, including Managing Director Sumerji and board members Ganga Singhji, Foolchandji, and Rajeshji, who played key roles in leading the activities.
The large-scale event was meticulously managed by Booking Window DMC Thailand, a top Destination Management Company known for handling international corporate gatherings across Thailand, Bali, Dubai, Vietnam, and India. Hemtrip, a leading tour operator, collaborated to ensure smooth logistics, from accommodation to transportation.
Beyond the record attempts, organizers estimate the event generated more than 150 million baht (around $4.5 million USD) for the local economy. Hotels, restaurants, and local service providers in Pattaya benefited from the influx of international visitors, reinforcing the region’s reputation as a vibrant hub for tourism and business travel.
The Koh Larn celebration underscores the growing ties between India and Thailand and highlights Thailand’s capacity to host large-scale international events. It also positions Pattaya as a top destination for high-profile corporate gatherings and incentive travel, attracting global groups in a post-pandemic tourism recovery.
