It is widely considered to be one of the best and most unique and diversified music festivals in Thailand, first taking place in 2017, then in 2020, and now is set to go ahead on February 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in 2024.
Where is Mystic Valley Festival hosted in Thailand?
The festival takes place at the beautiful Mountain Creek Golf Resort at Khao Yai in central Thailand. The area is chiefly known for its stunning 2000 square kilometers of national park, which is home to numerous waterfalls and many species of wildlife. It is also famous for featuring as one of the filming locations for Danny Boyle’s 2000 film The Beach.
How to get to Mystic Valley Festival (Thailand)?
There are several ways to get to the festival. Once you’re in Bangkok, you can go to Pak Chong by minivan or train. From here you can get another bus to Chao Por Khao Yai Shrine Visitor Center, located at the entrance gate to the National Park. You can also go from Bangkok to Prachinburi by coach, alight at the Naresuan Shrine Roundabout, and then take a taxi to the Noen Hom Visitor Center at the national park.
The festival organizers have also released some extra info about a shuttle bus that will get you to the festival right on time. The bus leaves from Bravo BKK shopping and entertainment mall on Friday, February 2nd at 6 pm, and will then drop you at the festival approximately three hours later following a scenic, seamless ride through Thailand. If required, it will also take you back to Bravo BKK in the early hours of Monday morning, picking up guests from Mystic Valley at 11 pm on Sunday, February 4th. The cost of round trip from the mall to the festival will cost you 999 THB (around $30), and if you do want to use this service it is recommended that you book your seats early, as there are only limited places available. Head to the Freedom World app or the festival website to secure your spot!
