So they give you 7 days to plan your trip. I guess that's why they expect only 10,000 to show up.

seems to be a different venue every year, I started going in 2014 when it was out at 19 rai - that's the best spot for it imo but we'll give it a shot..

Thanks for the warning. I'll make sure to get some new earplugs.

Where, exactly is Hua Hin Beach.  I read the flyer and there is no mention of the location other than to say it's at Hua Hin Beach.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

I think it's that sandy area next to the ocean.

All the beach's a stage

 

 

Taking place in the picturesque setting of Hua Hin Beach, the Hua Hin International Jazz Festival 2019 promises to thrill music lovers with an outstanding lineup of Thai and international artists during 7-8 June. Entrance to this two day not-to-be-missed event is free.

 

Premier Thai saxophonist Koh Mr. Saxman will again be performing at this year’s edition of the annual festival, while The KING of Samba will bring for the first time to Hua Hin their Brazilian jazz tunes and one of the world’s best bassists Rubem Farias will take to the stage.

The event’s main sponsors include the Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways International.

 

A popular beach resort offering a quieter and more laid-back atmosphere than Phuket or Samui, Hua Hin is a three-hour drive from Bangkok in the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan. Bus and train services also operate between the two points.

The Facebook page for the event mentions something about Royal Thai Resort, but I don't know where that is.

I think you'll find that's what Hua Hin is sometimes reffered as.
