Wonderfruit is the festival you go to if you've outgrown the EDM festival but kept the appetite. Four days on the Fields outside Pattaya. Stages built from bamboo by Ab Rogers and a-cero. Onsens dug into the earth. A reading lounge. A wellness camp. The programming is house, ambient, world and contemporary classical in roughly equal measure. The lineup is heavier than the marketing suggests. The Quarry stage at night is where the festival's most interesting late-night sets land. The vibe is closer to a Burning Man theme camp than a Pattaya nightclub. December.
The Quarry stage tends to host the festival's most interesting late-night sets. Find the sunset Onsen first, then walk there.
Thailand's destination-festival entry, distinctly art-led. The counterweight to mainstream EDM scale.
Annual, four days late December at the Fields outside Pattaya. Day three is the deepest programming, the Quarry stage sunrise sets are the photographed peak.
Annual, late December (typically the weekend before New Year). Site opens midday, programme runs daytime through dawn. Sustainability ethos: reusable plates, no single-use anything.
Fly Bangkok (BKK), drive 100 km south-east to Pattaya (2 hours). Festival shuttles from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport on the first day. The Fields site at Siam Country Club is signed from the Pattaya highway.
