Langsuan Man Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Don't be getting hotel rooms for this In the past it was very poorly done with a temporary stage that was so high up only the last rows could see the performance Maybe it will be better since that area has changed a lot with the new road and increased building at Silver Lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya46 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 A friend went there yesterday and informed me that this year it's a very "small" festival, a very "cheap" one. Apparently there is only the main stage where the dancers will come tonight, but no decorations all over the park, no field of thousands lights, no fair, no... no... no … It's just not worth this year the 20 km trip from Pattaya. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
