Questions

The short answers.

How far apart are Tomorrowland Thailand and EDC Thailand?

One week and two coasts: Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 is 11–13 December 2026 at Wisdom Valley near Pattaya, on the Gulf side; EDC Thailand 2026 is 18–20 December 2026 at Rhythm Park in Phuket, on the Andaman side.

How do I get from Pattaya to Phuket?

Fly. U-Tapao is the closest airport to Pattaya and Bangkok has many more flights. Book this leg as soon as you have both passes, because tens of thousands of people are making some version of the same trip.

Do I need both passes before I book?

Yes. Tomorrowland Thailand is sold out, and Num never sells or finds tickets. If you hold a Tomorrowland pass and want EDC too, buy EDC only from its official site.

What do I do in the week between?

Sleep, eat, and see the sea: Koh Larn from Pattaya, then Phang Nga Bay or Phi Phi from Phuket. Book a massage for the day after each festival.

Tickets.Num is an independent travel concierge and is not affiliated with Tomorrowland, Insomniac, EDC, Wonderfruit or any artist. Num never sells, resells or finds festival tickets.
