Jai Thep Festival 2020 @ Lanna Rock Garden, Ban Pong, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai, Thailand (31/1 - 2/2/2020)
Jai Thep, Northern Thailand’s leading arts and music celebration, returns for its fifth year, it’s 3rd as a 3 day festival! Get ready to experience musical ecstasy at one of our four stages or get entranced by the many large-scale art installations.
Jai Thep takes pride in being a multi-cultural, international event, with followers returning from all corners of the world, to enjoy resonating beats deep in the Lanna-country side.
What makes Jai Thep a truly awesome experience is the variety of stages, art installations, and magical, immersive environments, workshops and classes to explore. Curious souls who wander off the festival path may encounter many weird and wondrous realms sprinkled throughout the property, each with its’ own unique offerings, music and art.
Ever experienced Laughter Yoga?
Curious to learn about energy healing?
Interested in refining you hula-hooping skills?
Jai Thep is as much about its workshops as it is about its performances, and this year our lineup for activities is more diverse than ever! And don’t forget to check out the Kids Zone for a list of tailored activities for our young friends!
Help us to go GREEN! The Jai Thep crew asks you to help us keep the grounds clean and clear of trash, especially plastic! Jai Thep will be a “pack-it-in, pack-it-out event,” meaning that the Jai Thep requests that all attendees must take everything they brought into the festival out at the end of the event (see our FAQs!) In an effort to lessen our ecological footprint, please bring a personal, reusable water container! In 2019 we diverted 75% of our waste away from landfill – help us to keep up the good work! For 2020, we aim to have more renewable energy and to drastically reduce our carbon footprint (we’d like neutral or ideally positive, and we’ll keep you updated with this).
Jai Thep is family friendly
Children and families are very welcome at Jai Thep! We have child-friendly spaces where adults get the chance to be childlike again, and where kids can create and play. Planned and manned by a community of teachers, the kids activities at Jai Thep are a fundamental part of the festival, not an afterthought.
Children aged 12 and under are welcome at Jai Thep for free with a paying adult, and those 13 and older can take advantage of our low-cost student tickets!
Artistes Line Up:
What kind of music will there be at Jai Thep Festival 2020? Well, we try to have something for everyone! Think live bands and acts covering genres from rock, folk, punk, rap, bluegrass, Thai Molam, indie, funk and many more… We’ve also got the dance crowd heavily covered, showcasing techno, house, drum and bass, psytrance, slowtech and the list goes on!
Workshop & Healing:
Jai Thep Festival isn’t just about the music, we also have plenty of workshops and activities to keep you entertained throughout the day. There’s always a strong, conscious aspect to our workshops (we are in Chiang Mai, after all!) but we have plenty of physical and artistic activities for you all to enjoy, too! Access to all workshops is free with your ticket, so make sure you take advantage, try something new, learn some new skills and broaden your horizons!
As well as our workshop spaces, we have a dedicated healing area when guests can go to get individual, private healing treatment sessions. Relax and rejuvenate with treatments such as massage and reiki, and prepare to float off into a state of bliss! Sessions can be booked on site at the healing area/workshops reception desk.
Featured Workshop – Traditional Lanna Thai Dancing
As well as amazing us with her incredible fire performance skills, Khun Mint from ‘Saipa Fire Arts’ will be running a bi-lingual cultural workshop on traditional Thai Lanna Dance. This style originates from Chiang Mai, known as “Fawn Leb” and was originally an art performed for the Royal Courts. Join us at Jai Thep Festival and learn the 15 movements and poses, all accompanied by traditional Lanna instrumental music.
Featured Workshop – Connective Cacao & Sound Ceremony
By far the most popular of our workshops at the last Jai Thep Festival, our Connective Cacao & Sound Ceremony is back! Join Rachel Constantino in this playful, light-hearted ceremony where we will use the tools of cacao, meditation and sound to get grounded into our bodies, move out of the mind and into the heart, and then explore our divine connection with ourselves and others through connective exercises.
Featured Workshop – CNX Pole
CNX Pole is Chiang Mai’s first dedicated pole dance and fitness school! When Vikky and Lily first met they were both shocked that a city as diverse and active as Chiang Mai didn’t already have a pole studio. They realized they were both determined to bring this art they loved so much to our community so they banded together to do it and we haven’t looked back!
They both separately got hooked on pole after years of dancing in other forms. The physical challenge and endless chase to nail that badass new move is both motivating and highly addictive. While pole is an excellent workout and an expressive dance form, what they also fell in love with was the inclusive, body-positive and accepting nature of the pole community. It has taught them that every body is a pole body and the joy of self-expression through movement.
Come have a go and learn the basics and more at CNX Pole’s workshop at Jai Thep Festival 2020!
Performers & Speakers:
As well as the amazing music and workshops at Jai Thep, we’ll be bringing you a whole host of unique theatrical, dance and visual performances. From world-class fire spinning, to dance troupes, circus acts and Thai cultural performances, we have lots to entertain you throughout the festival site, day and night.
We also want to take you Home! Our comedy, spoken word and open mic stage, ‘Home’, provides a cozy space to relax away from the music and connect with friends old and new. Come have a cup of tea, sit yourself down and listen to some Thep Talks (like Ted Talks, see what we did there?) and recharge for a while.
We are incredibly excited to announce that podcast legend Blindboy will be joining us at Jai Thep Festival 2020 on Friday 31st January, for a live podcast show! The frontman of the Rubberbandits, number one selling author and interviewer of interesting people, Blindboy has over a million listeners to his eclectic and courageously bonkers podcast and YOU get to be present for the live creation of one!
Join us at the Home stage on the first day of the festival to check out the award-winning documentary ‘My Buddha is Punk’.
Kyaw Kyaw, a 25-year-old Burmese punk, pursues the dream of seeing the punk scene take off in Myanmar. The former military dictatorship carried out a few democratic reforms, but he remains sceptical: In his opinion, the country hasn’t changed yet. Along with the members of his punk band, The Rebel Riot he tries to raise the awareness of his people about the persistent violation of human rights. By way of his music and the demonstrations in the streets, he criticizes the ongoing civil war and the persecutions of ethnic minorities. He travels across the country to promote his own philosophy among the young generations: A symbiosis of Buddhism and punk that rejects religious dictates and political doctrine.
