World’s top DJs coming to Bangkok


EDM addicts, we know you already picked up your VIP tickets to Smirnoff Midnight 100 presents Waterzonic. Awesome, see you there. For the rest, it’s time to hurry.


The wild, massive, soaking wet music festival Smirnoff Midnight 100 presents Waterzonic is happening on November 28, 2015 at SCG Stadium in Muang Thong Thani.

But this innovative party is not your usual festival. It’s set to eclipse every music fest in Thailand, and the world, with the #paihaisood attitude of Smirnoff. Paihaisood = to the extreme. Which pretty much sums up this festival.

Headlining DJs Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike were just named the planet’s #1 DJ act by DJ Mag - the first duo to snag the honor ever. They’ve been rocking Belgium’s record breaking music festival Tomorrowland for years, entertaining crowds and pushing the boundaries of EDM.

They will be accompanied by globally renowned EDM artists W&W, Dannic and Goldfish & Blink as well as DJ Spacemonkey from Smirnoff Thailand’s Sound Collective.



There's even more to the #paihaisood attitude than pounding beats to keep you dancing all night, an amazing water show to cool you off and a trippy light and laser show to keep you mesmerized. There will be tons of cool party props, a convenient wifi zone to share pics, and a party bus so you can get the festival started early and dance all the way to the event.

To be a true EDM-er, gather your friends and rock your best water friendly club gear. We’d suggest some mirror shades, funky hair color and colorful face paint.
Not so experienced at painting emojis on your cheeks? Smirnoff has you covered with activities like body paint, plus great photo ops to show off your EDM style.

Pre-Sale tickets are still available (for now) at 2,500 THB. Regular tickets are 2,800 THB and 3,800 THB for the VIP experience. Last we checked, there were only 5% of tickets left at Pre-Sale price. So hurry and get your tickets now at www.waterzonic.com.

Don’t forget to like and follow Smirnoff Thailand on Facebook for event updates and a chance to win free tickets. ​Show off your EDM style and post a pic of how you're preparing for Waterzonic on the Smirnoff Thailand Facebook page and you could win a special meet and greet with the DJ masters Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike themselves.

Dirty water: Most water vending machines in Bangkok fail quality test


Feeling thirsty in the Bangkok heat? Well, it is probably best you avoid drinking water from vending machines after a recent survey found over a half of water vending machines in Bangkok are dirty.

The Independent Organisation for Consumers Protection took water samples from a total of 855 coin operated machines in Bangkok and found several factors make the drinking water unsafe.

An alarming 94% of the vending machines fail water quality tests, and 94.8% use tap water to produce drinking water.

The survey also found 55.2% are unclean, 42.9% have unclean valves, 29.4% are rusty, 21.1% are corroded, and 11.2,% leak.

Only 43.3% are cleaned once a month.

In addition, most of these machines were installed at inappropriate places near garbage bins and waste water ditches, reported ThaiPBS English.

Users of the vending machines have been advised to thoroughly check the physical condition of machines before buying drinking water.

New BTS Gold Line along Chao Phraya River expected in 2017


A new BTS Gold Line, which will extend from Thonburi station for three kilometers, is expected to open in 2017.

Taweesak Lertprapan, director of the Traffic and Transportation Department, said the organization is currently assessing public opinion on the new BTS Gold Line, which will be partially funded by the the Icon Siam project, the THB50-billion, riverside shopping mall and condominium project by Siam Piwat, Magnolia Quality Development, and CP.

The project, on Charoen Nakhon road, is also set to open in 2017 and brands itself as the “largest community mall” in Thailand, with two 40- and 70-storey towers covering 80,000 square meters.

In the first launch, the BTS line will extend from the old Thonburi station with two stops: Icon Siam and Thaksin Hospital.

Two more stations along Somdet Chao Phraya road will be added later.

The new gold line, which was not originally in the BTS construction plan, was proposed in July.

The project is expected to cost THB2-3 billion and serve 47,000 passengers per day, Than Settakij and Prachachart reported.
