If you’re looking for more events in this region of the world, check out my article “The 25 Best Music Festivals in Asia to Experience Before You Die“!
1) Songkran Water Festival
A Thailand Music Festival experience you’ll never forget!
When: April 13-15, 2024
Where: Across Thailand
“IT’S HOT, IT’S WET, IT’S WILD! DRESS FOR BATTLE AND GET SOAKED IN THE WATER SPLASHING MADNESS OF THE ANNUAL S2O SONGKRAN MUSIC FESTIVAL.
I can’t stress this enough that if you’re planning a trip to Thailand, then I’d highly recommend coming in April because that’s when the nationwide water fight of Songkran happens! It’s a celebration for the Thai Lunar New Year, and it’s one of my absolute favorite memories from my travels through Southeast-Asia!
While you can celebrate Songkran anywhere in the country, there’s an actual music festival called S20, which has become of the largest and wildest festivals in Thailand!
2) Wonderfruit Festival
Wonderfruit is easily my favorite of the music festivals in Thailand!
When: December, 2024
Where: Siam Country Club, Pattaya, Thailand
http://www.wonderfruitfestival.com/
A celebration of art, music, food, and ideas to catalyze positive impact.
For the ultimate Thailand festival experience, look no further than the wondrous Wonderfuit Festival! I actually had the pleasure of attending the inaugural edition back in 2014, and it completely blew my mind! Since then, I’ve been following the festival closely, and it’s simply grown to be the best music festival in Thailand!
Everything from the delicious food, amazing production, diverse line-up, welcoming atmosphere, and sustainability focus will surely impress! Expect to meet a terrific mix of travelers and tourists, as well as expats and locals, and four days of art, music, workshops, and lots more.
3) 808 Festival
When: December, 2024
Where: Bangkok, Thailand
“Over the previous nine years, 808 has built up a reputation throughout the region as the most unmissable event for dance music lovers with its mix of world-renowned international talent, cutting-edge and immersive production and enthusiastic crowds.
This year expect all new levels to be reached as it returns once again to Bangkok International Trade Centre which is transformed into an escapist party world with futuristic lasers, epic stage production and high-spec sound systems that all combine into a sensory stimulating experience like no other to be found anywhere in the region.”
4) The Experience Festival
When: New Years Eve, 2024
Where: Koh Tao, Thailand
https://www.facebook.com/experience.kohtao/
Four days of Love, Peace, Trance & Dance
Do you love PSY-TRANCE? Well, this is probably going to be your favorite Thailand festival on the list! And even if you’re not a big Psychedelic Trance fan, you’d still have an absolute blast! It’s 74-Hours of NON-STOP Music and incredible festival vibes on the beautiful island of Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand.
Tickets are super affordable, there’s plenty of awesome accommodation options, and there really is no shortage of amazing things to do on Koh Tao! While a lot of people will decide to head down to Koh Phangan for the New Years Eve Full Moon Party, I’d actually recommend you check out The Experience for NYE, and then head down to Koh Phangan for the January FMP.
5) Transmission Festival
When: October, 2024
Where: Bangkok, Thailand
Transmission Festival started in Prague, Czech Republic, but has recently been throwing more events in destinations all over the world! This is one of the ultimate festivals for the #TranceFamily, and always has a completely stack line-up with the biggest players in the Trance music scene!
I’ve personally attended the original Transmission Festival back in 2011, and it was an experience I’ll never forget! The LAZERS are seriously out of control, the sound was fantastic, and I know when they return to Bangkok for another edition it’ll be absolutely incredible.
6) Mystic Valley Festival

9) Full Moon Party
When: Every month
Where: Koh Phangan, Thailand

It’s a backpacker’s rite of passage to party until the sun comes up on the beaches of Koh Phangan! It’s a hedonistic night filled with buckets of liquor, neon clothes/body paint, and lots and lots of dancing! The best part about this “festival”? It’s FREE. Just make sure you book your accommodation well in advance, as every hostel / hotel on the island books up early for the Full Moon Party.
