There will be 11 stages and 42 shows starting on September 24 until September 30. All concerts will be free to the public.
This annual festival event takes place once per year and has its origin in the successful Samui Jazz Series, which in the previous years took place once per month. The objectives of the Samui International Jazz Festival are to bring the joy of Jazz music to this fabulous location and inspire young Thai Jazz musicians by granting them the chance to perform with international artists. The event also promotes Koh Samui as a tourist destination during the rainy season.
The full festival schedule can be viewed at the official website of the Samui Jazz Festival 2010.
