Plan a trip to the Amari Pattaya (www.amari.com/ocean-pattaya) the weekend of Oct 3 to catch Thailand's internationally-renowned hip-hop king Joey Boy's live concert.

Regular tickets are B1,200 per person, inclusive of free-flow draught beer, house wines, soda and whiskey. However, get your tickets before Sep 15 to score the early bird special, where entry will cost just B900, also inclusive of the aforementioned unlimited drinks. Early reservations can be made directly at 038-418-418 or fbreservation.pattaya@amari.com.

As a bonus, the hotel is conveniently located on Pattaya Beach Road, so when the concert ends, you'll be right where all the food, nightlife and restaurants are.
