Tiger Jungle Art Camp

What is it: Yok Yek Party may last just one night, but given its a self-described ‘12-hour dance ritual’, we thought it just about fit the bill as one of the north’s more alternative ‘festival’ events this season. In short, it brings together eight DJs and live acts for a non-stop run through of techno, house, minimal, breaks and electro – from midnight to midday.     Why we love it: Although it’s their first event, those in the scene will recognise Nerd Party and their lineup of artists such as DJ Nobita, Chalo, DJ Casper, April and Lsyndrome. Add on the unusual hours and we’re extra curious – the party starts at midnight and continues through the night, stopping at midday the following day.    Yok Yek brings a strong regional lineup with a lush jungle setting and a serious sound system from Miki Vection, ensuring every bass beat lands exactly where it should. It’s also happening on Valentine’s Day, a perfect date night idea for that techno-head you’ve been trying to party with for the last year.    Time Out tip: This is an endurance party, not a sprint. Sure it’s in Chiang Dao but you don’t even need a hotel for this one if you plan to dance through the whole night. We recommend bringing a warm layer (it can definitely get hold in those jungles), comfy shoes and a little goodie bag of carbs, sugar and energy shots to keep you going all night long.  Feb 14. Midnight-midday the following day. B400 early bird, B800 on the door (20+ only). Tickets here. Tiger Jungle Art...

Yok Yek Party is probably the most exciting thing going on this weekend, if you can handle partying from midnight to midday the following day. Touted as a ‘12-hour dance ritual’ starting the eve of Saturday, this Chiang Dao ‘festival’ serves up a ludicrous dose of techno, house, minimal beats, breaks and electro, delivered by eight DJs and a few live acts in the deep depths of Tiger Jungle Art Camp. The scale, setting and stamina required put it firmly in alternative-festival territory, and an absolute night to remember for any party-head partner you may want to share it with. Sure, it’s a big commitment, but at least you get to save on booking any accommodation as you’ll not be sleeping at all.  Feb 14. B400 early bird, B800 on the door (20+ only). Tickets here.
