Saturday night saw hundreds of revellers descend on the parkland by Huay Teung Tao Reservoir for an all-night party featuring live music and entertainment. The event, organised by Roots Reggae, Zoe in Yellow and other bars from Ratwithi soi 3, brought together the cream of Chiang Mai’s musical talent for the evening which ran from 9pm until the sun came up.

Everybody had a thrilling time dancing away to dub, soul and Latin tunes before a dj took over and played funky beats until dawn. And the shuttle buses coming from town tried to keep drunken motorbike riders to a minimum, although there were still a few uneasy riders swerving past in the early hours.

Although quite an expensive enterprise with tickets costing 200 baht and small beers priced at 80 baht, everybody agreed it was a great success. And with rumours flying about that another two-day party is being organised for April, those who missed out this time should keep their ears to the ground for emerging details.
