It's officially official it is safe to get back in your cars and attempt to travel the streets of Pattaya. The Pattaya International Music Festival 2014 is over.
The 6 stages that drew record crowds of hundreds of thousands of Thai teeny boppers from Bangkok and not so teeny foreign boppers who just turned up because they were already here and after all owt for not is better than nowt at all. Well the stages have been dismantled, Beach Road is now just that a road where cars can drive down and people enjoy the view in air conditioned comfort.
Pattaya City hall has declared the 13th consecutive running of the music festival a "Sound" success. The queues have now moved from gridlocked streets to gridlock in the local Banks as hoards of smiling business owners deposit their overblown takings.
