penkrew Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Despite the change in dates, I thought the festival went really well. Good security, great sound systems and huge crowds.

toenail Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Must admit, the music festival is well laid out with Beach Rd being closed off in the evening and the location of the vendors and stages. The stages have the latest "bells and whistles" (sound system, lights...). Many thais enjoy sitting in various eating/drinking areas looking at the lights on Pattaya Bay. (Pattaya Bay is beautiful at night with the lights refecting on the water, just don't look too closely in the day time). I think it is a good PR festival for Pattaya, but they should have it just two nights...Friday and Saturday. Not too many people attend on Sunday night.

sms747 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Despite the change in dates, I thought the festival went really well. Good security, great sound systems and huge crowds. There's a review of this year's Pattaya International Music Festival 2012 here. Good security, more like insane security, never seen anything like it. They were confiscating pens and combs, they even wanted the stick out of mrs luk chin. Then they insisted on cutting the tops off of unopened small water bottles My small umbrella .came in for special attention but it got the ok from a superior, they seem to think my flashgun might be some sort of taser. Inside they were (very unusually) beer sellers going around with plastic glasses of chang, wow those plastic glasses could surely have been used to slash a throat or two! As normal though actually no security stage wise so the dummies start standing around it making it impossible for those behind to see which always leads to most having to stand in the end. Don't see why they call it the 'international' festival as no foreign acts that I saw and very few foreigners in the crowd. Good sound but crowds not especially large, it was free after all. Oh seems there were a Japanese and Korean band on somewhere, an estimated 400.000 is absolute nonsense, more like 40.000 over three days. But then only went to the main stage and one other, almost nobody at the small stage, not surprising judging by the racket. There were far fewer than 10.000 at the main stage last night, including the beer garden. Hopefully will not be going to this event again. Good performances by Cham Cham Ram and Nong Pawaolee, Got's dancers are always a joy to see, very professional and also very well paid.

There were no official acts around Dusit Thani so must be a busker there was a mini stage and two large video monitors lots of cameras too impressive video crane too perhaps they took it down after friday i am sure the festival line up will confirm this the very north end of pat beach near dusit and amari very pleasant little show no busking from the stage i believe that would be what might be called soi one where second road turns into dolphin and then meets the beach, right there!

toenail Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I remember 8 years ago (when I first arrived here) the Music Festival did have more "international groups" - a couple well known Korean Bands and a Japanese band. One stage had Western music. Too bad there can't be one stage for "Western" music...there are plenty of Western bands playing in BKK and Pattaya or spend some bucks and bring in a couple bands. I realize this is a big event for Thais so I am not complaining about the Thai bands, they were well known but this is a tourist city. (Maybe we can dig up a Russian band also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepattaya1961 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I use last year's thread, because this year's PMF is again surrounded by confusion. Originally PMF was planned 15-17 March. Not long ago some other dates popped up: 18-20 or 22-24 March. Whenever it will be.............Que sera, sera!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
