im used to goa trance a lot - whats it like in koh phanang? im hoping to be able to DJ there, are there places that play all forms of dance music or is it selected types?

I am sure there is a variety of electronic dance music there, but GOA trance seems pretty specific. I don't know specifically about that area, but the club music in Pattaya is a mix of things to make it suitable for a worldwide crowd.

Are you trying to support yourself by being a DJ there?

Mostly in Thailand you will find commercial hip-hop being played in clubs

To DJ in Thailand even casually

without renumeration requires B visa and WP.

If you are internationally known and appearing at a

club or arena event sanctioned by a local promoter you can get an the required TP and other documentation

like other international superstar DJ's who appear here legally.

Getting frog-walked off the beach in irons in KP to the Monkey House just for spinning a few records

for beer money is no way to spend a holiday, but that's the way it is. Not worth it.

nah, for fun, no money required, even buy my own beer if i have to. im just a musician/DJ :] thats not even allowed?

and people frequently get nicked? ooh, changing my mind about going to thailand then maybe!

Working , Paid or umpaid, even volunteering requires the correct paperwork, with things the way they are right now you would be crazy to try anything dodgy over here.

thanks for the heads up :]

i'll visit for sure, i want to try vietnam & japan - but maybe base in goa as per usual then ... im not into heavy shit
