Koh Phangan is, of course, famous for its party scene but it also has an abundance of talented musicians, singers and songwriters.
It is a great place for inspiration for any kind of artist and the perfect setting to enjoy a live music performance, whether it be an off the cuff jam session or a polished show at a beautiful restaurant.
Live music is a great remedy if you've had a bad day and need something to lift you up. There's something that makes people forget their worries about the energy and excitement of seeing a performance. Even watching low-key, emotional live music is an excellent way to improve your mood. Good musicians can put you in a different time and place. This is a healthy way to forget about your issues temporarily.
In seeing live music, there's something very communal. With total strangers, you get to share an uplifting experience. A great way to meet new people is to see a band you like. Understanding that you share the same interest helps to break the ice. You might end up forming new friendships or even finding someone new and special. Going out and seeing live music also means that the local scene is supported by you. This type of support is crucial for musicians, venues and artists.
