Tonight is Big Kus and Bcool's Pink Birthday Party...
I'm really looking forward to this one. Seems I'm not the only one - last night a TF member came to Charley Brown's, dressed in pink all ready to party. Only to be disappointed to find he was 24 hours early!
We had a REALLY busy night last night - despite the rain (bring your umbrellas, just in case). If it's like that tonight PLUS a TF party, we will be slammed!
I notice there is also a Facebook event to crash tonight's TF event! Coul
I know a photographer who is holding courses to teach digital photography. (If this is too much of an advert, feel free to delete it; I know the guy, we're not buddies)

It's a question for the nitpickers out there.
I'm usually spot on with spelling and grammar, but this one has got me stumped.
The name of the restaurant is Charley Brown's.
So if I were to order some menus for the restaurant, where would the apostrophe go?
1) Charley Brown's Menus
2) Charley Browns' Menus
If you have the answer, please back it up with a link to the explanation rather than saying, "Well, I know because I'm an English teacher."

As some of you have noticed (about 20) there is a Leo Fancy Dress Movie Party on 31st July.
I have had literally SEVERAL messages asking about it...
So here are a few questions and answers...
Q Why Leo? Isn't that the shittest of all beers?
A Well, yes it is. However, it is also a zodiac sign for people born in late July and early August. I am one of them (3rd August). So this also acts as my BDay party and anyone else with that star sign.
Q Isn't this just
I read about how the poor people of Thailand have been disenfranchised and feel that no-one is doing anything to help them.
I felt very bad about it, so I decided to do something about it... Every WEEK.
No longer do these low-class people have to drink low quality drinks in the rain. Once a week, Charley Brown's is throwing open its doors to local poverty-stricken alcoholics.
And that's not all!
Having seen the dreadful clothes they are forced to wear, I designed and made a range of leisu
I already posted these on my Facebook, so some people have seen them already....
I won't write too many captions... struggling on someone else's computer and I want to finish quickly.

I think my photos are probably the last to be posted... which is quite normal since I had the slowest bike and ended up following everyone all day!
We met up at Robinson's on Ratchada... got a coffee and set off to meet Mem and Tai at Fortune Tower.
It was a long trip - we had rain, sunshine, a small accident and a puncture. But we quickly found a little garage to fix the tyre - and the girls had a little picnic in the shop...
We continued towards the dam and met another h
Hi TFers...
Firstly a HUGE thanks for everyone who showed up last night! I did a lot of work to make sure we had a good crowd, and I was stunned by the numbers! The restaurant can seat about 50 people... on a good night we usually serve 100 people. Last night we served 213!!!
Secondly, apologies to the people who had to wait for food or drinks, all my staff worked very hard, if we'd known how many guests would arrive without booking, we'd have had more staff. As it happened, I had emergenc
On 5th May 1862 in the state of Puebla, Mexican troops defeated the French in an unlikely result.
Since then 'Cinco de Mayo' has been a special day for Mexicans and is celebrated with parties across the country as a sign of Mexico's heritage and pride.
Thailand Friends is having a Mexican Party at Charley Brown's - Bangkok's oldest Mexican restaurant.
Special offers include 500 baht all you can eat fajitas (see picture below)
After reading Admin's post this morning, I grabbed my camera and shot down to Suan Lum to see what I could see...
First thing was a convoy of soldiers which never deployed - these guys went into the barracks.
There was a standoff and lots of shouting...
This guy lay down on the floor - he wasn't knocked, he was trying to make a protest, but eventually he just looked a bit foolish, 'cos no-one else lay down.
There were plent
I also went to the Red Shirt Rally.
There is a centre stage set up underneath the Skytrain in front of the Bramin Shrine. The rally radiates out from this spot down the roads like a target.
The bullseye - immediately around the stage is packed with die-hard supporters. They listen to every speech and clap their plastic feet and chant along. The phrase Bill missed in his report is ÃÃ¡ä» - ork pai - "Get out!". It's exactly the same as the PAD chanted only substituting Thaksin's name with
Finally the truth is out... and here is the proof... I'm a multi-millionaire and my Dong reaches up to my chin.
Actually this is the story of my Mum's trip to Thailand and Vietnam.
I took her to some interesting places - first stop Lumpini Park to meet some local characters...
This bugger lashed me with his tail and scarred my arm - it was like being whipped with an electrical cord! There were a bunch of Thai onlookers laughing themselves silly when it attacked me.

What Tiger Woods Wanted to Say at His Press Conference
Let me just say to all my fans that I feel sorry for everyone who criticized me for my extra-marital affairs. You must live a miserable existence if you have nothing better to do than read about my personal ife in the tabloids. But I suppose I should provide an explanation about my behavior so that you will continue to buy the products I endorse.
So here goes. I am an average looking man of mixed racial descent. Like most men, I
Usually I have a good reason for posting a journal... got something funny or interesting to say, or some photos to post.I've kind of got a reason for this one... I've been waiting for the photos from Saturday night to be posted. There were a handful posted by Admin, but even those have gone. I should have taken my own damn camera.Anyway, here are a few of my favourite shots...From my building.Nice lighting Stupid bird

A few months ago I needed some visa help.JapAmerican Rob gave me the telephone number of a girl who had helped him in the past.I called her up and she sorted out my problem within a few hours, saving me a lengthy trip to the new immigration office.Earlier this week, I called her again with another problem... this time tax related. Once again, she made a special effort to help me quickly and efficiently.She doesn't work for nothing, but her rates are very reasonable and saves me a lot of time.I d
Next month my Mum will come to visit Thailand for a few weeks. She looks like this... so if you see her, be nice.
We're going to go to Vietnam for a 5 day trip and we'll go out to a few places around Bangkok.However, I work at night time and there are times when my Mum will be by herself.It would be great if some Tfers were able to meet her and show her some places in Bangkok, while I'm working. I want her to see stuff, go shopping, have meals but not be lonely or in danger.If anyone is fr
I forgot to post these...I went on holiday a couple of weeks ago with my family - my sister, brother-in-law, father and step-mother. We had a great time (except for the 17 hour long train journey!)... I loved Pai (again) Northern people are friendlier and more honest than the rest of Thailand, I have found. The worst thing about Pai is the hordes of ridiculous farang hippies wandering around in tie-dye shirts, fisherman pants, dreadlocks and hemp sandals. What do those guys look like? Anyway, h
I was at the Photo shoot on Sunday too... I didn't want to take temple pictures... if I'm honest, I find temples a bit boring now. But I do like people watching - so here are some of the people I saw on Sunday. At the train station, I saw hundreds of young people going off to somewhere, all armed with M16s... I'd be interested to know what was happening here? Thaksin's people's army?
Then there was the previously mentioned 'foreigners' entrance'... I guess the doors are a little taller a
