Over the past seven years, 2002-2008, Hua Hin has hosted an increasingly successful jazz festival. Each year this event, normally held over the first weekend in June, lasts for two or three days.
From quiet beginnings, it has grown into probably the biggest and most important jazz event in Thailand's calendar.
Recognition must be given to the organisers and promoters who have toiled endlessly to attract big names. This year, their efforts were rewarded with the appearance of acts from all over the world, including Kenny Garrett, Mike Stern and Dave Weckl, and a wealth of up-and-coming Thai talent.
It seems that the organizers are downscaling the event despite its popularity. Only one stage was present in 2007 and 2008 - this lead to some overcrowding problems with a rising tide.
According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand the 2009 Hua Hin Jazz Festival will be held on June 12-14.
Highlights of this year's Hua Hin Jazz Festival are the performance of Thai, Asian and world famous International Jazz musicians during the 3 days in different locations; on the beach and at Phonkingphet Public Park.
