RoyFest returns to Phuket

PHUKET: -- According to public relations website PR Urgent, anyone in the Karon Beach area of Phuket will be able to hear music from a host of Thai and international DJs, as well as various other artists, at RoyFest 2010.

On June 25 and 26, RoyFest is offering "uncompromising" entertainment", according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

The weekend has been selected to coincide with the full moon, with a big party planned at Karon Beach.

Performers including Japan's DJ Yoji, Ireland's Agenlli & Nelson and Singapore's DJ B will be among those taking to the stage.

The action will start from 1800 on both the Friday and the Saturday night, with music being played into the early hours of the morning.

If reports from last year's inaugural Phuket RoyFest were accurate, local residents of Karon Beach and surrounding areas, particularly those in the posh condos and five-star hotel rooms along the strand, did indeed find the music "uncompromising" in terms of volume and duration.

But the event drew large crowds. Whether it was desirable for Karon Beach (or anywhere else on environmentally-challenged Phuket), became a topic of some considerable heat in the 'debates' in the Gazette online forum, with perceived beauty being very much in the ears of the beholder.
