Sonic Bang!

Sonic Bang is an annual, all day music festival in Bangkok.  Since this year's headliner was Jason Mraz, we decided to check it out.  Before the late-night concert, we walked around a bit and found ourselves in the Silent Disco.  If you've never been to one before, imagine a room full of people with headsets on listening to one of two live DJ songs -- but the room is completely silent.  Consequently, you could be listening to heavy metal while the guy next to you is dancing to a country song!



After the Silent Disco, we checked out a couple other concerts.  Since the event was housed in the Convention Center, there were a variety of stages to visit to see different performers such as Pitbull, Placebo, and Rain.



Finally, we headed toward the arena where Jason Mraz was performing.  We stood in the pit with hundreds of other Thais and foreigners and listened to Jason Mraz perform his heart out.  I was really impressed with the talent of all the members of his band.

Jason opened the concert by saying, "Sawa-dee-krab!"

It was a great night of music in Bangkok!
