This year’s Big Mountain Music Festival will move their site to a larger space in Petchaburi province to hold more Thai teens and tourists.
Thailand’s biggest music festival, named for its birth place at Khao Yai, or Big Mountain, will move to the Kaeng Krachan Country Club in Petchaburi this year because the mountain just ain’t big enough anymore, organizers announced Monday.
“We want to expand the limits so that we can … handle more visitors,” the statement read.
Getting from Bangkok to Kaeng Krachan by car will take the same amount of time as driving to to Khao Yai – about three hours.
Famous for packing in thousands of people, mostly drunk travelers and high school crowds, the festival usually has a lineup of mostly domestic pop acts and is organized by Yutthana “PaTed” Boon-aom of GMM Grammy.
The seventh edition of the festival will be held Dec. 19 and 20. Tickets are THB2,000 and go on sale in October. Group tickets come cheaper and ghost tickets outside the gate are cheapest, it is known.
