Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026

The Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026 is a seaside music festival on Pattaya Beach in Chon Buri, Thailand. It takes place on 6 and 7 November 2026, with jazz performances by the sea. It suits music lovers, couples and groups looking for a short beach break, and it is easy to add to a holiday in Bangkok or the eastern seaboard.

About Pattaya International Jazz Festival

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) lists the festival in its November 2026 events calendar. TAT describes it as a vibrant seaside music festival that brings together talented jazz artists for live performances along Pattaya Beach.

The setting is a big part of the appeal. Pattaya Beach is the city's main beachfront, with a long promenade, restaurants and bars, so festival visitors can combine live music with an evening by the sea. The artist line-up and stage times are announced through official channels, so check these before you build an itinerary.

Pattaya is one of Thailand's best-known beach resorts. Outside the festival, visitors can enjoy island trips to Koh Larn, water sports, viewpoints and a wide range of restaurants.

Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026 dates and venue

The Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026 dates are 6–7 November 2026.

The venue is Pattaya Beach, Chon Buri. TAT's calendar does not publish daily stage times or a programme, so confirm these nearer the event. You can see the listing in TAT's official November 2026 events calendar.

How to get to Pattaya for the Jazz Festival

Most international travellers fly into Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), which is the closest major international airport to Pattaya. From there, Pattaya is reached by road, by private transfer, taxi or scheduled bus. Some domestic and regional flights also use U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport (UTP), south of the city.

For groups, a pre-booked coach or van from the airport is the easiest option. Traffic on the roads out of Bangkok can be heavy on Friday evenings, so allow extra time if travellers arrive on 6 November.

Where to stay

To be close to the music, choose a hotel on or near Beach Road and Central Pattaya, which puts travellers within walking distance of Pattaya Beach. North Pattaya is a little quieter but still close, while Jomtien to the south suits travellers who want a calmer base and do not mind a short ride.

Festival weekends bring extra visitors, and sea-view rooms go first. Book early, especially for groups who want to stay together.

Planning a group trip to the Pattaya Jazz Festival

A Pattaya Jazz Festival travel package can be a simple two- or three-night beach weekend. Tips for agencies:

• Confirm whether festival areas are free to enter or ticketed through official TAT or local authority channels before you sell a package.
• Include airport transfers, beach-area hotels and one daytime excursion, such as an island trip.
• Offer it as an add-on to a Bangkok city break for travellers who want both city and beach.
• Remind travellers that evenings by the sea can be crowded, and suggest a meeting point for groups.
• Ask travellers to check the official entry requirements for Thailand.
