They even take belts away from Thai males trying to get close to the stage..mind you a metal belt buckle can do some damage

the hooligans will fight it out with fists and feet anyway..maybe surprisingly Karabow concerts where supposed to be the worst for violence  I would have thought the audience would have been on the "herbal medicine" instead of booze so not into fighting...anyway bring on the 6 plants for every household as soon as possible I'd say.

Why does Pattaya have a 3 DAY countdown?  Why does Pattaya have a two week Songkran fest?

There should be plenty of parking given the empty hotels.

Same as in previous years, the "scammers" will open any available spaces in the vicinity for parking and charge rip off amounts! same as every other year, the vast majority of the people attending will be Thai, they hate to get ripped off but also have to pay!

I like the booze free festivals. Folks have to be more discreet and act better.
