14 hours of pool parties, BBQ and open-air raving just outside of the city

The Cheeky Mountain Festival might be the best kind of city escape you need right now, and now as the smoke improves, there’s little excuse to stay in.
On May 9 the festival takes over a hidden spot in Mae Rim for a full day-to-night party experience running from 4pm all the way through to 6am – starting chilled with a pool party and BBQ before slowly evolving into a full-blown rave as the sun sets on the open-air dancefloor.
Getting there is half the fun. A party bus picks you up from Top North Hotel – think school field trip except way more boozy. Once in Mae Rim, the afternoon kicks off with water games, a BBQ included in the ticket price and an ice bath challenge for the brave, with a river and waterfall nearby for those who want to wander before the night begins.
As the sun goes down the energy shifts and six international DJs take over across AfroHouse, tech house, techno and Psytrance. A full night of music unfolding under the stars in the mountains outside Chiang Mai – very different from anything happening in the city this weekend.
Early bird tickets start at B300 or upgrade to VIP at B1,000 for two free drinks and dedicated transport that makes sure you arrive and leave in comfort. Capacity is intentionally limited so the party stays fun without getting messy – book ahead.
May 9. Tickets start at B300. Book here. Pick up is at Top North Hotel. 4pm-6am
