Over the weekend of March 18th to 20th Pattaya held its annual Music Festival.
This year to emphasise the fact that International artists were taking part for the first time, the title was enhanced to ‘The Pattaya International Music Festival’.
Three stages were set up at various points throughout the city, one on the Beach Road featuring Thai musicians, another nearby featuring artists from other Asian countries and the third at the Bali High port in South Pattaya featuring performers from other parts of the world.
However these demarcations were not strictly adhered to and all stages in the end featured a mix of artists from all points of the globe.
The event was extensively covered on the local MTV channel and attracted an overall audience throughout its three days of close to one million.
As can be imagined this brought the usual chaos to Pattaya traffic but most felt that was a price worth paying for such a professionally produced event.
We took our cameras down to the Bali High stage on the last night (Sunday) to capture some of the flavour of the event. Our apologies if the pictures are not up to their usual quality, the huge crowd made it impossible to get really close up.
