The temperature is dropping, the sky is clear and local jazz fans are as excited as they always are at this time of year. It’s time once again to luxuriate in warm and soothing jazz tunes while sprawling on a soft green lawn underneath the moonlit sky.

A spiritual treat that people have come to yearn for after a long year of hard work, the 5th Bangkok Jazz Festival, which kicks off next weekend, guarantees to indulge the audiences’s soul with three evenings of world-class acts like Shakatak, Matt Bianco, Laura Fygi, Kitaro and Blood Sweat & Tears.

This year, the jazzy affair that expects to draw more than 15,000 music-lovers each night will be held from December 8-10 on the lawn of Ror Nueng Phan Nueng Ror Or, a 32,000-square-metre military field on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road; the venue having changed from its usual home of Sanam Sua Pa royal park.

The 5th Bangkok Jazz Festival runs on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, December 8, 9 and 10. A one-day ticket costs 1,200 baht while a three-day pass is priced at 3,000 baht. Tickets are available at Thaiticketmajor (tel 02-262-3456). For more information, please call 02-203-1240.
