As Songkran sweeps across Thailand in a burst of water, colour and collective joy, the streets transform. What begins as a splash quickly becomes something deeper—a celebration of renewal, gratitude and the enduring power of community. More than a festival, it’s a cultural reset wrapped in ritual and revelry.
Amid the energy, one sound rises above the rest: Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band. Melding the hypnotic grooves of Molam with psychedelic rock, funk and electronic textures, they’ve become a symbol of modern Thailand—where tradition doesn’t just survive, it evolves.
At the centre of it all is Maft Sai, the band’s creative compass and longtime cultural connector. Under his direction, the group has crafted a sound that’s both deeply rooted and radically current. Every performance is a journey—part time capsule, part dance floor—offering a rare moment to move, feel and reconnect.
Since 2013, Paradise Bangkok has brought this genre-bending fusion to audiences across Europe and Asia, building a quiet cult following along the way. Their live shows radiate warmth, joy and a kind of musical magnetism that cuts across language and borders.
This Songkran, let their sound be your soundtrack. It's a celebration of identity, rhythm and reinvention—and the kind of music that lingers long after the water dries.
