The
Re:earth project and festival in Thailand is a close co-operation between a group of Swedish friends in the music-, media- and travel industry and the local Thai community on Koh Samui. The aim is to spread awareness and find positive ways and solutions to reverse environmental damage - and have fun at the same time!
If I'm correct this is the 3rd festival that's being organized and it looks like an action packed two days with lots of music.

How to get there
Now three and half years after the launch of the Re:earth project the festival attracts artists from many different countries including Thai, UK, Belgium, Colombia, US and Scandinavia.
Both days of the festival starts with daytime activities in the beach area accompanied by chilled out sets played by our deejays. Each evening culminates in live acts performing and then the deejays will take over again to keep the crowds moving until the sun rises.
The ultimate goal with the festival and its local partners is to make Koh Samui the “Green Island” of South East Asia and the Re:earth festival a sustainable long term event on Koh Samui.
One small step can lead to big change! Join the Re:earth festival if you would like to make a difference and give something back as a traveler!
The Re:earth festival and its partners are taking an active role in the efforts to restore, rehabilitate, protect and preserve the natural environment. The Re:earth festival wants to increase the awareness and promote a better understanding that environmental conservation can be undertaken hand-in-hand with travel.
Locally at Koh Samui and its neighboring islands, the main concern is the lack of sufficient drinking water during tourist seasons, deteriorating coral reefs and floods due to erosion caused by increased development.
Last festival saw 3000-4000 people per day at the venue, 50% Scandinavians but also plenty of Aussies, Thai and other nationalities. We expect more nationalities in Feb 2013. Spread the word!
The festival is held daytime as well as nighttime.
