Cha-Am blog by onlychaam

Cha-am is hosting the annual “Kin hoy, doo nok, tok meuk” festival (eat shellfish, watch birds and catch squid). It started on September 25 and it’s now in full gear, with concerts every night and food stalls offering a large variety of seafood, Thai food and even western food. The end of Narathip road has been turned into a pedestrian area and an open air market, but there is still plenty of parking space available on the beach.

Last night the big superstars were the Blueberry R Siam girls band, famous for their Chimi chimi hit. I’ve been hearing it about 10 times a day at home (yes you can tell I have a teenage daughter, thank you for your sympathy), so I was sort of looking forward to seeing the real thing. Only sort of, not jumping all around and screaming like my daughter. The three girls were cute, but they did as much talking as singing, and the music was all pre-recorded. I guess kids these days don’t care about real musicians, like my grandfather used to say when I was playing my eighties favorites.

Anyway, you have until October 3 to enjoy the festival (and make “taleung” jokes about “kin hoy”…).
