Yannick Bovy among music stars performing at Benjakitti Park on Dec 2

The event is organised by MedPark Hospital with the support of Bangkok governors and partner companies in an effort to improve the quality of life of Thais and expats living in Thailand's capital city.

MedPark Hospital managing director Pongpat Patanavanich said at a press conference on Wednesday that the second edition of "Med Music in the Park" will bring together a talented ensemble of artists to share the joy of music.

"Let's Groove" is the theme for this year's event, he added.

He emphasised the significance of music in healing and treating the human soul.

Music is one of the alternative tools that doctors use as therapy to treat behavioural disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or to help relax the exhausted souls of terminally ill patients, he explained.

“Therefore, having a concert event where everyone can participate and enjoy great music from great artists would undoubtedly contribute to the building of happiness and strong mental well-being,” he said.

Pongpat pointed out that being happy gives a person an advantage in dealing with difficulties in an optimistic manner, as well as assisting in stress reduction.

"We have organised this concert once again in response to the request of those who have previously enjoyed our concerts. Music is an art that brings joy and relaxation," he said.

"Med Music in the Park" is a free concert that features a variety of global music, creating a festive atmosphere in Benjakitti Park.

The concert will feature top Thai and international artists, including Belgium vocalist Yannick Bovy, several Thai artists, and the RSU Symphony Orchestra. The event will take place on December 2.

Aside from concerts, the event will invite all attendees to groove to The Host's swing mob dance.

"This event is not only about music but it also promotes environmental conservation by allowing attendees to appreciate the park's natural beauty. It's about fostering a culture of listening to music in lush greenery and nurturing a community spirit," Pongpat noted.

The secretary of the Bangkok governor, Pimuk Simaroj, welcomed the music in the park event, noting that it was part of the administration's plan to have a monthly iconic event to attract visitors from around the world.

"This is the second year that the hospital has been granted permission to host an event in Benjakitti Park, after the huge success of last year's event. We hope that concert-goers will help keep the parks clean and will join us in appreciating the beautiful natural surroundings," he said.

The MedPark chief said that the hospital intended to gradually host the event once a year, and that "Med Music in the Park" was a part of the hospital's commitment to social engagement and building a better society.

Those who wish to attend the event must register using the QR code found on the hospital's website, leaflets and various official social media platforms.
