wow we're at a music festival
we're in doi suket chiang mai thailand basically in the middle of nowhere
and we're very fortunate i'm going to be taking you to a music festival
it's amazing it is in a aeroplane graveyard and bands are playing on the wings there's art
there's exhibitions there's food there's cars there's people let me show you how i got here
let me show you what the music festivals of 2021 and beyond might look like because
there's lots of rules and regulations involved in these kind of things nowadays 450 people maximum
everyone had to go through the the you know sign up stage i could hear a band's just starting
and let me show you how i got here let me show you what it's like inside yeah what you can expect
for festivals and music festivals in the not too distant future in your country hopefully very soon
okay we're here we are at 737 arts and music festival and the entrance is interesting we are
basically in a aeroplane graveyard there's already a lot of dead airplanes broken airplanes dishes
discontinued airplanes it's right here on the middle of the highway so yeah i just parked up
over here and i saw the signs 737 festival it's actually just a little bit further in so i've
got to drive a little bit more but i stopped here to show you the entrance and also there's three
people over there having gin and tonics and i know all three of them so i've got a feeling
that this festival is going to be extremely local everyone's going to know each other so just a fair
warning i'm not going to be asking people to be on camera i'm not going to be trying to film people
at all really because you know it's a music festival it's an art festival people just want
to do their thing people want to you know enjoy themselves so the last thing they need is a camera
in their face so i'm just going to try and capture the music festival from my point of view and uh
hopefully you enjoy it and it brings back the feels because it's already giving me the feels
yeah i parked up here and i thought oh i'm here but turns out i'm not here
here's my friends just having a few drinkies they uh they're basically getting high on
their own supply before they go in which is fair enough pre-drinks before the festival
and uh all i can say in the distance that looks to be a uh triple seven a bowing triple seven thai
airways and i can see that they've actually set up a stage of sorts on one of the wings of the 777
wow i mean obviously look we're arriving here you can see there's cars there's motorbikes this
is not glastonbury this is not coachella this is a small music festival because of the rules in place
um they were allowed to make a music festival the governor of the district said it was cool
but they had to be a minimum or sorry a maximum of 450 people everyone had to get registered
telephone numbers all the usual chana anna app stuff which is the thai version of track and trace
please remember that there is zero cases of covert in this province and has been for many months
and barely any in thailand so the music industry's opened back up and now this is the first proper
music festival oh i can hear that they're doing a sound check or maybe they're playing live
on the wing a cool reggae band with the sunset i'm just using the gopro for a little bit
just because i want to when i go in i want to be a little bit discreet i don't want to have
my big camera again i'm going to be very discreet tonight people are out here to relax and i don't
want to be in their face i just want to bring you and show you what a thai music festival looks like
thank you guys oh i got my sticker i've got my gel
so this festival is actually a covert 19 fundraising event
and i've heard all the profits are going to local thai people thai businesses that have struggles
oh i get a free bracelet how fancy i like your glitter very nice yeah my friend just choice on me
oh okay check my bag yeah
don't worry no booze
no drink i gotta drive okay now i know we're on the way thanks a lot of an airplane
oh look the sky is enough for us we're inside a field george that's definitely not the right word
hello what should we do should we just go for a walk around
oh boys
tell me
so over here we've got skatepark
someone's learning to skate
i can see more people i know
there's a bada boom bar over there people are just in the shade here relaxing it's a bit early
everybody's got their best festival gear on everyone's glittered up
sunglasses on just chilling out i'm sure this is going to get very wild tonight
isn't that cool look up there with the people on the wing that is incredible actually
very smart very creative there's something very poetic
actually that we're here on one of the first music festivals since the whole covert situation
and on the graveyard of one of the industries that's basically gone to the toilet since i
covered 19. we have a music festival just to prove that music never dies
music will never go away but some industries will suffer and crumble but music will always live on
and i'm sure the guy who thought of that was like this is the perfect place to have a festival
very cool so this seems to just be like a quiet area there's food over here
sushi these guys have got they're selling arts and crafts there's a coffee shop here t-shirts
everybody over this area is thai which is nice because everyone i've seen so far is foreign
and half of them work at my school
we've got a bakery over here selling sandwiches macaroons lots of deliciousness
oh you have classic you've pulled pork burgers this is fancy hi somebody cap
what's this oh you got pizza jesus you got pizza
fresh orange juice oh nice bass line can you hear that ooh and then look at this we've got an
army humvee this looks like a real one look how wide this is and then we've got this classic
thing i have no idea what this is i think that says fiat and then look at this thing
some sort of classic ford racing car cb media would know what this is i have no idea
don't hang around
come on 100 baht i loved it the music just cut out as i was shouting that 100 baht for
a beer it happens at the wrong time i can only have two because i'm driving
how are you doing i'm good i'm good how are you good patty this is my friend alex
hi nice to meet you me too i'm a huggy kind of guy okay let's get in there
where are you from where are you from the us maryland oh nice so the other side of
the plane that's where the rock and reggae bands are but on this side of the plane
in this little luggage compartment door is a dj and he's playing techno and it's really really
good and i'm sure this is where people are going to flood later once the sun's gone down
but right now i can just i can just imagine it look like camping everyone chilling out here
and uh this guy and the acoustics of the music bouncing off that fuselage and the wing
there's a bar here this is where it's gonna be tonight this is this is where the party is
past midnight okay so that was the walk around the entire festival it is very small but remember
there's only 450 people allowed at any time in the festival i just wanted to show you what it's
like i can't get into too much detail for obvious reasons music's hitting everyone's having a good
time would you like to come to this festival would you come if you had the chance or would you think
do you think it's not the time for music festivals i think personally i think that when it's done
like this and there's control in a place where it's safe and there's you know not an outbreak
or anything in the area why not the schools are open live music in town's open you can go shopping
in the malls you can do anything really why can't you come out in a field in the middle of nowhere
with your friends listen to music and dance see you in the next video
so
um
you
