Jazz Fest to stage at Hua Hin beach over the weekend

Music fans will be flocking to Hua Hin this weekend for a jazz festival featuring top Thai and international artistes. The Swing Kings and Mr Saxman and the Sound of Siam are among the Thai acts scheduled to make an appearance.

JazzKamikaze and Malene Mortensen plus Jun Abe and the Japan Jazz All Stars are headlining the international ensemble for the reborn Hua Hin International Jazz Festival. The venue for the festival is the beach at the back of the Centara Grand Beach Resort.

Live acts will be on stage from 17:30 onwards on the evenings of Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 June. The concerts are free and will be complemented by the likes of jazz workshops and a market featuring handicrafts and OTOP products. 

The initial Hua Hin jazz festival debuted in 2002. This year’s edition is being jointly organised by Mr Saxman, record company HitMan, Hua Hin Council and the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
