One of the biggest yearly party events in Hua Hin is just around the corner, The Hua Hin Jazz Festival from 12 to 14th June 2009. Two stages will be erected, one in front of the Sofitel on the beach and the other at Phon Kingpetch Memorial Park. In addition to the live jazz, an exhibition to commemorate His Majesty the King and his jazz ability will be set-up at the local Hua Hin Train Station.
The Hilton has come up with what I think is a more than usual creative idea here in Hua Hin; Thailand’s First Poolside Cinema. Once a month the hotel will opens its doors to allow guests to come and watch some of the latest films at the box office. It will officially be called “Cinematic Splash”. See Hua Hin Hilton website for when the next cinema party happens.

Recently I was driving down soi 94 and took notice of a new business with an eye catching name, “Let’s Go Potty”. The owner, Ghan, got the idea to open her shop when she went back home to the far east of Thailand to visit her family. Nearby, on the Cambodian Border, a small family business was making handmade pots and statuettes from local natural resources. Ghan was inspired to open the shop as she had never seen anything like it, “they are like having pieces of art in your home”. The pots and sculptures are very reasonably priced between 1000 to 3000THB. Definitely worth driving by and having a look sometime.

Finally the Putahracsa Boutique Hotel on Naebkehard Road will be featuring and Art Exhibition by Jackie B. On Thursday the 7th of May from 7-9pm in the Conference Hall. The works focus on color theory, morphology and space.
