The story

EDC Thailand is scheduled to take place from January 17 to January 19, 2025, in Choeng Thale, Phuket. The festival features multiple genres including big room, trance, EDM, dubstep, hard techno, acid techno, and UK funky. The specific venue for the festival is Boat Avenue Lakefront, located in Soi Cherngtalay 2. As part of the Electric Sky series, this festival represents an expansion of the event to Thailand.

EDC Thailand is a edm, trance, techno, house, hard techno, tech house, melodic techno, progressive house festival at Location Unknown in Choeng Thale, Thailand. The December 2026 edition runs 18–18 Dec 2026.

Expect stages split between edm, trance, techno, house, hard techno, tech house, melodic techno and progressive house.

Everything happens at Location Unknown, in Choeng Thale. Phuket · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

EDC Thailand keeps the same calendar slot each year: December 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Friday. It is a winter date, so indoor stages and a warm place to sleep matter more than they would in July — and off-season travel is often cheaper. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Choeng Thale are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

Door to door from Paris, a trip to EDC Thailand works out at roughly €1,731 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 17% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 17h 4m each way, at €1,181 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

  1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at EDC Thailand are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
  2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
  3. 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
  4. 4If you fly into Phuket International Airport, check the transfer time to Choeng Thale before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
  5. 5Follow EDC Thailand on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

  • Fly into Phuket International Airport, the closest airport to the site.
  • Rail arrivals come through Phuket Railway Station; shuttles usually run from there.
  • The site itself is Location Unknown, in Choeng Thale.
  • Official travel details suggest using taxis or public transport.
  • Book a bed in Phuket early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
