Following his announcement that Big Mountain Village will take place on December 12-13, 2025 at Chokchai 3 Farm with a complete overhaul, organizer Pad Yutthana has unveiled one of his key enforcement measures: a hardline stance against all illegal activity. The event had drawn complaints about traffic congestion, dust, inadequate restrooms, and drug use.

Pad has committed to working closely with local police and relevant agencies to step up searches for contraband and prosecute offenders. He has announced a strict zero-tolerance policy governing illegal substances at the venue. Anyone found using cannabis, possessing or smoking e-cigarettes, or using drugs within the event grounds will face immediate arrest, legal prosecution, and a lifetime ban from all future Big Mountain Village festivals with no exceptions.

Pad aims to make this year's festival and beyond a drug-free music celebration and a model for other music festivals to follow by prioritizing enforcement against all forms of illegal activity.
