Count me in! Sounds like fun. 

I assume the foreign musicians will be Thai-based as I can’t imagine any flying in and quarantining.

Guess they want to spread corona more. Too less corona in Thailand.

Nice!

I was in Hua Hin for the last jazz festival. Very good, though I only watched a few acts over the two nights I was there.

 

Totally agree about Phuket. I don't think we've had an event that appeals to Westerners since the Blues Festival finished; most gigs seem to be of the Thai (c)rap variety, attended by young Thais.
