URBAN BEACH

Trendy Bangkokians and tourists are invited to celebrate the Songkran festival in style during the "Summer Fave 2007" in front of CentralWorld Plaza from April 12-16.

Co-organised by the TAT, Osotsapa, Thai Namthip and Chic Channel, the 5-day celebration offers fun, fresh, wet and wild experiences under the concept of "City on the Beach".

The 8,000-square-metre open space in front of the shopping complex will be transformed into a beach of white sand and divided into 4 zones of different fun.

The Snap Shot Zone sees a display of sand sculptures by Peter Chainam, Pod Modern Dog and Sirapan "Noon" Wattanachinda, while the Fun Zone features a host of fun games, summer sports such as beach volleyball and artificial cliff climbing and street performances, as well as activities from 12 Plus Extra Cool Powder.

The Wet & Wild Zone is a chance for visitors to enjoy water battles in a civilian manner amid the daily concert at 7pm by top artists such as Joey Boy and his Kan Kor Club (April 12), Buddha Bless (April 12), Mai Charoenpura (April 13), Silly Fool (April 14), Potato (April 15) and Modern Dog (April 16). They will be performing on Thailand's first Wet Stage.

The Fresh Zone is where delicious foods and drinks will be served right in front of the big screen plasma TV featuring the live show from the Wet & Wild Zone.

Admission to the event is free of charge. For more information, please call 02-264-5555 ext 4112.
