It's once again time for the Pattaya International Music Festival to kick off here in Fun City. Last year's draw of 250,000 people probably will not be beaten this year, as it looks like the event is going to be scaled down and limited to a single venue, with only 2 stages, instead of spread all over Pattaya with 5 stages as in past years.
This event is really more for the Thai people, as most of the acts are Thai, with the majority remaining bands and singers from other parts of Asia. (As per usual, there is no website that I can find listing the acts at the moment, so I am only going on last year's lineup.)Anyway (if this year's event is anything like last year's event), you will be able to avoid the crowds and rowdy teenagers by tuning into the live simulcast on UBCThailand's satellite cable network..
