Pattaya Music Festival is back with a bang with enough eclectic musical talent to entertain all manner of music lovers. More than 100 musicians took to the stage at the weekend for the fun-packed festival and judging by the smiles that greeted the event, there were few disappointments.

The event featured three music stages at the Bali Hai pier at the main bay’s southern end, central Pattaya, and Pattaya Soi 4. Music themes rotated between all three stages with hip hop, rnb, rock and pop featuring heavily. The event was also supposed to promote the Tourism Authority of Thailand campaign “Amazing Thailand Amazing Value” to demonstrate that travellers to the Kingdom get brilliant value for their dollar, euro or pound.

Music lovers have enhanced the appeal of Pattaya in their holiday destination choice with future events promising to be even bolder and brasher. Famous music companies such as GMM Grammy, Modernine TV, Channel [V] Thailand and Channel [V] International helped organise the event.

Visitors enjoyed contemporary songs at the Bali Hai, the best in rock music at central Pattaya and some tremendous easy listening at Soi 4 on Friday. Then the next day there was more of the same at the Bali Hai stage, with hip-hop taking overt central Pattaya, plus sultry Jazz at Soi 4.
