It has been billed as the ‘The Longest Beach Music Festival in Asia’ and the music will start daily at 6pm and end at midnight; although if past years are anything to go by, the party will continue well into the early hours throughout the city.

The Festival is citywide and the action will centre around four different major stages. The Galaxy stage is at Laem Bali Hai, the Moon Stage at Soi 4, the Universal stage at Central and a specialist Reggae stage at South Pattaya.

The festival is included as part of TAT’s Amazing Thailand promotion and is being heavily advertised in the Thai media as ‘Amazing Thailand, Amazing Pattaya’. It marks another step in the repositioning of Pattaya as a leading family holiday destination and a growing Asian hub.
