80’s pop fever is coming to Bangkok
For festival fanatics eager to start the 2013 festival season in style, it’s time to pack leggings and legwarmers, flip flops and sunscreen as the Big 80’s Rewind Festival is hitting Bangkok on Friday 29th March 2013.
Taking place at Bangkok’s International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC) situated on Bangna-Trad road, a quick taxi ride from Amari Watergate Bangkok, the evening will be packed with guilty pop pleasures. 80’s icons will take to the stage to belt out classic tunes with the line up including icons from the past Rick Astley, Belinda Carlisle, Johnny Hates Jazz, The Village People, and Spandau Ballet star and friend of Amari Tony Hadley as he makes his return to Thailand.
As the festival draws to a close, carry on the party at Amari Watergate Bangkok before heading to Amari Vogue Krabi for R&R, treading the footsteps of Tony Hadley’s Amari family trip in 2010.
Amari Watergate Bangkok is located in the lively Pratunam district in the heart of a central shopping area, making it a great choice for both pre and post festival stays. With the vibrant city on its doorstep, guests can experience the best of both worlds, from enjoying a pre-festival cocktail at Henry J. Bean’s Bar & Grill to soothing aching bodies the morning after busting some moves at the festival with a relaxing signature mood massage at Breeze Spa. Guests also have a choice of cuisine including authentic Thai food at Thai on 4 or Chinese delights at Heichinrou.
For guests wanting to make the most of an extended visit after the festival, Amari Vogue Krabi offers a revitalising break just a short flight from Bangkok. A boutique style property in a secluded beachfront setting overlooking the Tub Kaek Beach, Amari Vogue Krabi is the perfect destination to unwind. The hotel grounds are made up of tropical gardens, water features and relaxing pools to enjoy.
With the UK set for another cold snap, book an escape to warmer climes and step back in time with some 80’s nostalgia in the sunshine. Just don’t forget the dancing shoes …
