Jazz by the sea in Pattaya: Kenny G plays November 7 at the free two-night festival
Pattaya International Jazz Festival takes place on the beach on November 6–7 from 4pm local time, with free admission. Kenny G leads the second night; The Shang Sisters and more open the weekend.
Put a seaside walk and live music into the same weekend: Pattaya International Jazz Festival 2026 comes to Pattaya Beach in Chon Buri, Thailand, on November 6–7. Both days start at 4pm local time with free admission. Kenny G is scheduled for November 7, while The Shang Sisters, TOSH, Ben Chalatit and other performers begin the first night. For a November trip to Thailand, the dates and daily lineups offer a clear place to start planning.
A seaside weekend framed by Eco Jazz
This year’s theme is Eco Jazz, with Pattaya City and the Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organization as organizers. The official key visual combines blue-green foliage with a golden saxophone containing coastal and city scenery, bringing music, beach and nature into one design. These are promotional graphics; the actual stage and site layout should be checked in organizer announcements closer to the event.
The November 6 lineup includes The Shang Sisters, TOSH, Ben Chalatit, The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band, and Groovy Doopy ft. Rachael & Adam. The first evening offers several artists in succession. If discovering different performers is the aim, listening to their released work beforehand can help choose when to spend time at the venue. This is a lineup grouped by date, with no individual set start times listed; detailed order can be checked against the official programme when available.
Pick a performance date, then plan your arrival
Kenny G headlines November 7, alongside Amp Saowaluck, WIM, Rattanakosin Breakin Crew and 808 Band. The official lineup poster separates the artists into two dates, with Kenny G’s saxophone image at the centre. If his performance is the main reason for travelling, plan around November 7 rather than assuming that he appears on both nights.
The official lineup poster groups November 6 and 7 performers, with Kenny G on November 7.
Both evenings take place on Pattaya Beach, with free admission and activities beginning at 4pm. Those details help set an arrival date and approximate time; food, transport, accommodation and other individual purchases can be chosen to suit a personal budget. For an unhurried evening by the sea, leave flexibility in daytime plans and check the weather and organizer entry information before setting off.
Two free evenings with room for a flexible trip
The appeal of a trip built around this festival is that one stretch of coast can become a setting for both an ordinary walk and live music. There is no need to fill every hour with attractions: stay for two nights to explore several acts, or arrange accommodation and the return journey around a particular artist’s date. Friends can compare the performers they want to hear and find a shared arrival time. These are planning ideas based on published information, rather than a TIDEZINE visit or a promise about seating or sightlines.
The essentials are November 6–7, from 4pm Thailand time, Pattaya Beach in Chon Buri, and free admission. The official Thailand Festival listing and Thailand’s government English information page give the same dates and place; the festival listing also provides the day-by-day artists and an organizer Facebook link. Follow those official entry points before travel for the performance schedule and site announcements.
