Pattaya International
Music Festival this weekend

Workers scramble to put the finishing touches on the Central Pattaya stage in preparation for this weekend’s Pattaya International Music Festival. In all, 4 stages have been set up, one each at Bali Hai Pier, Central Pattaya, Royal Garden Plaza and in front of Soi 4. Expect traffic delays, especially in the evenings, as Beach Road (and some side sois) from the Dolphin Roundabout through to Bali Hai Pier, will be closed every day during the concert from 4 p.m. until late.
