Young Thais most favorite festival is on the way. It is time for Fat Fest. The fest has been continuously held by Fat Radio since forever. I remember that I have grown up with the heard of this event. The fresh, young and independent are the concept of this legendary. The place is for teenagers and young people to release their creativities, energies and powers of new generation. The fest normally has concerts of indie bands, cool hand-made stuff selling and a theater for free short film screenings. You can update teen ideas and perspectives like how they response to current situations or how much they care for the other issues besides theirs. The ticket for 2 day entry is 500 Bath where you can enjoy the event from 4pm-10pm, quite reasonable for teenagers, I say. Book the ticket online through Thaiticketmajor as well. Be young for 2 days, this 11-12 Feb.

There are movies, short films or art gallery opening that we can go. Feed our minds with some imaginations or visions that we have never heard of. People are looking for having fun in Bangkok as they saw from a movie but you will see that the city is more than just Silom, Soi Cow boy or Khao San Road. It is full of cultures, the culture that develops from time to time by native Thais and culture that is combined with foreign factors. These 2 fests are just parts of long list up-coming events, still more to come. Let’s take this opportunity to see what the city is rich of.
