Blog, Koh Tao, Music Festivals, Thailand

Looking for the best music festivals in Thailand in 2025 and beyond? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Whether you’re backpacking through South-East Asia, an expat living or teaching English abroad, or a local Thai looking for your next festival – all of these music festivals would be an amazing experience!  I’ve personally attended a few of these, and I’ve absolutely loved the Thailand festival atmosphere!  While there really are a ton of crazy festivals in Thailand – these are my top 20 picks (and personally planning on attending a few of them quite soon!).

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) Wonderfruit Festival

Wonderfruit Festivals - Thailand Festivals 2023

When: December 12-16, 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! Prepare to encounter an eclectic blend of travelers, tourists, expats, and locals, all coming together for four immersive days of art, music, workshops, and much more.

IT’S HOT, IT’S WET, IT’S WILD! DRESS FOR BATTLE AND GET SOAKED IN THE WATER SPLASHING MADNESS OF THE ANNUAL SIAM SONGKRAN MUSIC FESTIVAL.

If you’re planning a trip to Thailand, I cannot emphasize enough how incredible April is as a time to visit. This is when the country comes alive with Songkran, the Thai Lunar New Year celebration, famously marked by an epic nationwide water festival.

It’s more than just a fun-filled water fight—it’s a cultural tradition symbolizing purification and renewal. Experiencing Songkran is like stepping into a vibrant, joyful carnival of community spirit, and it remains one of my most cherished memories from traveling across Southeast Asia!

And if you happen to be in Bangkok, then I’d strongly recommend checking out the monumental Siam Songkran Music Festival – which is one of the biggest and most famous festivals in the country. Massive stages, explosive sound, and an unreal line-up of electronic acts.
