Big Mountain Music Festival 2014

We only decided to go to The Big Mountain Music Festival the week before leading to the the Kings Birthday weekend so it was pretty much last minute as we were at first reluctant to go with all of the talk of chaos and traffic that surrounds the festival. It sounded like if a festival was ever based in Alton Towers in the UK but expecting 50,000 people and travelling there by any means and you are going to be stuck there getting there and back. It was expected to be very busy but as it was only 8km away from the school so why not? 

We had a great time at the festival and why would you not when they offer beer and Sang Som (Thai Whiskey) by the bucket load and have stages for every type of music...yes it was mainly Thai music but with the right company and a open mind you'd be sure to have an amazing time. 

The main acts included bands call Big Ass (Why would you all yourself this name?), Mild (Probably the most boring name for a band), Thaitanium (Great pun for a Hip Hop Thai group) and Boom Boom Cash. Some great entertainers and some sooo cheesy you would rather cringe amongst the crowd who absolutely love it. 

We mainly stayed at the Thai rock stage called the Ferris Wheel stage and stayed away from all kinds of Thai Pop stages which is the cheese I mentioned earlier. As the night went on into the morning we stayed at the dance, drum and bass stage and danced the night away. 

A two day festival for £40 included hay bales as picnic benches, beer and buckets, pee hill (don't fall in the mud), 6am guaranteed fun, food stalls including a burger van (for average burgers), an education of Thai music, lights and fireworks is one festival I would go again next year.
