Rain did not stop hip-hop fans as they flocked to the Amari Orchid Resort & Tower for an appearance from Thailand’s “king of rap.”
Abhisit Opasiamlikit, better known as “Joey Boy,” headlined the hotel’s first concert in more than three months Oct. 5, with general manager Brendan Daly welcoming hundreds of fans to the Amari’s ballroom.

Lingering effects from Typhoon Wutip continued to whip across Pattaya, but soggy fans crammed into the concert hall. Joey Boy did not disappoint, entertaining for more than 90 minutes with hits like “Hua Lai Tood,” “Yok Mue Kuen and “Rak Ther Mai Mee Mod.”
The rapper also indulged a Korean fan, inviting him on stage to propose to his Thai girlfriend. Kwanchanok Tangchariyatham couldn’t hold back tears while accepting.
