FAVOURITE MUSIC CELEBRITIES
The Pattaya Music Festival made its
debut in 2002 and was very well-received
with a large turn-out international
visitors as well as local music fans. Last
year, fans of many of the performers, as
well as media covering the music industry,
flew in from abroad just for the event.
Concerts were sold-out and hotels in
Pattaya enjoyed record occupancy rates -
in the high 90s. Continued success has led
to a decision by the Tourism Authority of
Thailand (TAT) to feature the Pattaya
Music Festival as an annual 'Summer Music
and Sports' tourism promotion theme in the
“Thailand Grand Festival” events
calendar.
The festival sets out to position
Pattaya as a family destination and a
place for music-lovers.

programmes during the festival, please
