RoyFest the Phuket Music Festival will take place on June 25th & 26th this year on Karon Beach (map below).  This years event is being billed as the Full Moon Version and will feature great music by international and local acts on both nights. Along with the live acts there will also be local and international DJ’s setting the nightly pace with infectious beats and pulsating party music to keep you going in between sets.

“Roy” is a common term used in Southern Thailand, meaning fun, pleasant and delicious and by all accounts the Phuket Music Festival always delivers. RoyFest is also billed as the largest beach dance party in South East Asia and the Tourism Authority of Thailand is hoping that the Phuket Music Festival 2010 is the first big hit of many to come to help draw back the much needed tourists.

By the way,  did I mention that the entire 2 day event is FREE?

The party gets started as the sun sets at 6pm. For more information you can contact the Tourism Authority of Thailand at the TAT Tourist Hotline 1672.
