Donnyboy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 musicians, who would welcome the opportunity to play and sing to your hearts content, for fun...no ego's required. careful, we might soon get a topic thread named "farangs trying to sing in my soi" on a thai forum, not unlike the "dogs barking" thread on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf5370 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I know a few guys that get together to play - one's a drummer, one plays strings etc. They usually hire a place somewhere near the moat I think, but some bars allow jamming before the main bands come on and these guys do that too on occasion. Guitarman is good for that, but some usefulness with an implement of torture is required. What do you play? I can put you in touch if you are interested - PM me your email and I'll pass it along.

KevinHunt Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Tell that to the BIB - nice shakedown scam. Farangs jam every night in Chiang Mai without any problems. This issue was resolved after a problem at Guitar man. If you are still scared remember this ... Life is short, so play hard! Where does the 'maverick' bit come from?

IanForbes Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Can't say I'm frustrated, but I do miss western music when I'm in Thailand. I guess I'll have to invest in an I-pod. I used to sing in a small band when I was a young man, and can still carry a tune, but it takes practise to do it with a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barky Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Isn't it sad that the Thai authorities (a reflection of Thais generally) won't allow westeners to have some harmless fun playing music publicly. They'd much prefer westeners to follow their mind-set sterotype and spend their time and money on beer and bar girls. Even, the odd jam at certain bars is only possible sometimes. Even then, musicians are looking over their shoulder scared shi*less the the cops will raid the place to extort money or slap them in gaol. Getting paid for playing is absolutely out of the question. Getting a work permit for playing is basically impossible although Phillipinos get around it somehow. So, wstern musicias are reduced to playing in some studio or at private parties for "free", however, as any musician will tell you , playing in public and getting the vibes is what it's all about. The Thai authorities are trying to protect jobs they say, but maybe there was no job available in the first place, and if the westeners are not getting paid, really what's the harm? The cops seem to take this part of their job with gusto . They seem to enjoy depriving people having some small enjoyment that does not hurt anyone and may make some happy (including the audience both Thai and other). I recently spoke to a young Thai guy who is studying in Australia proudly telling me that he plays in a band around his local area in Sydney. It's good to see that Australians are so kind hearted and generous to allow him to have fun and enjoy himself with his friends and not be so heartless and mean spirited to stop him from doing so by the constant threat of falling foul of the law. On this issue...Thailand your pathetic and really mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
