This weekend the big Pattaya Musical festival will hit Pattaya. I am sure it will be the longest music festival in Asia but will it be the best one? Last weekend I was out in Pattaya and checked some of the stages and the space between the stage and the street is so small. It will be the same problem as before you have to go aroooound to get to the next stage. You will have no space to move in the crowd it is to packed so you have to go back up on Second road and then go back down. Last time they did like this I walked around on the back because the water was low but I am not sure they will allow this. I think the idea is great and I am happy for Pattaya but if something would happen the water will be safest place to run.
If you do not want to see the music festival I advice you not to go to Pattaya this weekend the traffic will be jammed and the hotels overbooked and overpriced.
