Pattaya International Music Festival 2013, pictures!

[plahgat 523]

Hi!

 

Just went for a short stroll on southern end of Beach Rd tonight Saturday 23 of March, and took a few pictures of the night-market that stretches all along Beach Rd to Walking Street during the annual Pattaya International Music Festival, that happens 22-24 March this year, so tomorrow is your last chance to participate!

Seemed to be a bit less busy than usual, I only took a few pics between WS and Royal Garden Plaza.

Maybe some of you have more photos feel free to add them to this thread!

Thanks for the pics.I'm glad not everybody on this forum is depressed/saddened/inconvenienced/put off by a 3 day festival on Beach Road.I would much rather enjoy this than Soak-kran.

It is probably people who live in the area, Expats, like myself, who will gripe about this event.

We don't have much need of the markets and it snarls up traffic for a large area and inconveniences our lives. We often forget Pattaya is not about us in the slightest, and needs to keep making money. Songkran is complained of more so, but as sure as hell, it is going to happen, this year and next.

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics, Plahgat. It looks like (most) folk were having a good time.

Nice photos, Plahgat. Sam Bar looks interesting. I remember the first music festival in 2005, headlined by Tata Young.

I think it became the "International" Music Festival in 2005, but it had been taking place for a few years before that.

Yep..I definately remember my favourite girls in Soi Rangnam dissapearing for the Pattaya music festival as early as '96...

I wandered from Soi 13 to Walking Street earlier tonight too and rattled off a few photos,will resize them and add to the thread later in the week.

 

So many really young kids out there,unsupervised. Can't see the schools being well attended tomorrow.

 

And it sounded like punk rock coming from the reggae stage about 10 pm. Not sure what that was about.

Parents can go. The kid at my house was getting yak-yak from his mother as she was showing him the report card over Skype.
