OliverKlozerof Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Recently I've been going to the ‘open mic’ that is held Monday nights (from 8:30 to 11:30), at “DET 5” bar (not sure where they got the name), on Soi 8 by Nana BTS station. Quite a few guys (including me), get up and play/sing with acoustic/electric guitars. Pretty fun. Anybody know of any other open mic events around town? And/or ‘jam nights?’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Be careful...these get raided on a frequent basis. And the fees for a "get out of jail" card are fairly high. The one here in Pattaya, which had an "agreement" with immigration was shut down this week after a visit by 4 guys who spent the night at the bar keeping a watch on who was playing...the weekly event has been permanently cancelled. You can also research Chiang Mai. Quite a few problems up there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Why do the police raid them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Why do the police raid them ? Most musicians here don't have work permits. So, it's illegal to be onstage...as crazy as that sounds...even though none of the musicians are getting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverKlozerof Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 See a few guys in Siam Discovery on the 6th floor quite regularly. Do you mean playing in a restaurant/bar up there? Can't remember what's up there. Farang? Thai? Like a regular group, or open mic/jammers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix of farangs and thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
