Wow. Talen, it looks like we are going to have some fantastic photos to drool over. I’d love to see Bird…
Cat, I’m looking forward to seeing Bird myself as well as some of the other acts and festivities. I have a feeling that the crowds might keep me back some though.
A real treat! I was fortunate to live in a place with a good view to enjoy the daily fireworks last year:

Claudio, great video and I hope it’s just as nice this year.
Pattaya has certainly got the biggest Christmas Bird in Thailand booked up for its Xmas and New Year festivities. A big pat on the back must go to the Countdown organisers in attracting big names to their celebrations, and it should further help Pattaya in trying to rid itself of its sex city reputation.
Martyn, It could be a great event but it’s another one of those wait and see kinda things.
Looking forward to the New Year’s countdown in Khon Kaen – most likely at Central Plaza.
The festival is getting bigger and bigger every year. Pattaya is going to celebrate it on its own way with many national and international artits. i’m very exciting to be able to join the event.
Talen, I’ve been trying to find a schedule of performances for this event, but haven’t been successful on the web. I’m particularly interested to find out when Bodyslam and Da Endorphin will be performing. Do you know a link, or do perhaps billboards in Pattaya list the schedule?
I’ll be in Pattaya from Thursday through Sunday. Perhaps we’ll have a chance to meet in person.
Claudio, I should have a schedule of sorts today…there are several bands I want to see as well such as Big Ass…I have a feeling the crowds will be huge. There is a chance I will be heading out of town to Prechaboon but if not I will definitely buy you a beer. I’ll email you the schedule I get and my number later today.
Thanks Talen! My girlfriend wrote on Bodyslam’s Facebook wall yesterday and asked what day they will be on stage. She got a response within 5 minutes! They will be performing on Friday.
A schedule with all the artists lined up this week would be greatly appreciated though, as there are a few other artists I’d like to see as well.
If you’ll be in Pattaya any day between Thursday and Sunday, I look forward to meeting you. If you are going to Prechaboon, enjoy the trip. No matter what, I wish you a very Happy New Year!!!
