Life, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 25/04/2026
» A general admission ticket to Coachella 2026 started at US$549 (about 17,750 baht), and that was before the shuttle pass, the camping fee, the service charges, the flight to Southern California and the accommodation in a region where budget motels were running $600 a night during festival weekend. On the secondary market, a single GA ticket hit $5,263. On-site, a latte cost $17 and an order of fries $28, and around 60% of attendees bought their original tickets on a payment plan. The conversation about whether Coachella has priced out its own audience has been running for years, and this April it got noticeably louder.

It doesn't announce itself, yet you know it instantly -- fish sauce. Somewhere between the bodegas and brownstones, Bangkok has quietly found a place to breathe.
