The three-day electronic dance music festival will be held just outside Pattaya, Chon Buri this December. Around 50,000 tickets were sold for each day of the event, reaching the festival’s full capacity of 150,000 tickets. The government expects the event to attract the 50,000 visitors daily and generate around 6 billion baht in economic activity.

Thailand has signed a five-year agreement to host Tomorrowland, with the government projecting the festival will contribute at least 30 billion baht to the economy over the life of the contract. Officials see the event as part of a broader strategy to strengthen Thailand’s position as a major international tourism and entertainment destination.

According to Surasak, around 85% of ticket buyers are international visitors, while 15% are Thai attendees. Overseas visitors include both short-haul and long-haul travellers, with many expected to extend their stay in Thailand beyond the festival dates.

The minister also said premium festival packages priced at 150,000 baht or more have been sold, adding to the projected economic impact. The event is expected to create around 4,000 jobs during both the preparation period and the festival itself.

The government said extensive arrangements are being made to support the large number of visitors. These include dedicated shuttle bus services, improved public transport, increased police deployment and volunteer assistance to help manage the event safely and efficiently.

Organisers will also work closely with government agencies to implement comprehensive security measures for festivalgoers and nearby communities, around the festival site at Wisdom Valley. The minister said these preparations are intended to ensure both safety and convenience throughout the three-day event.

Khaosod reported that the sold-out festival represents a significant milestone ahead of Tomorrowland’s debut in Thailand, with authorities now focusing on delivering the event later this year. Preparations will continue in the coming months before the festival opens in Chon Buri in December.
