Music that is.

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up in a bar or on the beach or renting a studio out and playing some acoustic? Banjos, fiddles etc. would be nice but....

There are a few good bars around in NaJomtien and other areas around Pattaya and yes you ARE allowed to sit around a table and pull out a few acoustics as long as you are not on stage or have a tip jar etc. Just have a few wobbly pops and play. I have confirmed this with City Hall already. Most guest houses that have a bar/restaurant downstairs are good also.

Or if anyone has any suggestions? We have even had fires on the beach in NaJomtien and played away.

welcome at my place any time i dont play myself but love me music

I'd be up for it. Play guitar. I'm in South Pattaya. Fire on the beach sounds good.

Cool. Well it seems the rain is with us once again so the beach thing might not be a good idea however you never know with the proper planning.

Bluegrass is my main music but of course I can play everything else too. South Pattaya is a very big area but I will send you a PM and if anyone else wants to join lets do it. I have few friends that play too.

Maybe someone has a nice back yard with a covered area or something? The main thing is that we keep it LEGAL.

It's a poor state of affairs when anyone planning an acoustic jam has to consider whether they might be breaking the law.

I played one time in a well known small bar down town, but the external noise was too much, could not hear what the other musicians were doing, very stressful and not enjoyable at all.

True that however if you play on stage or have a hat in front of you then you could be charged with working/volunteering without a work permit and deported after spending a few nights in the slammer and/or paying a fine.

That is about the only thing I miss about back home is the music scene, jams etc.

True that. And if you are playing a Martin or any acoustic then you have to crank the mic up to the point where all you hear is feedback.

Not for me, Gone.
