Hey all,
First Christmas away from some semblance of family. Was a bit odd. Worked during the day at the magazine and then had two events on Christmas night. I thought they’d be full, what else are people going to do. I was wrong…
Bed was dead. I’ve never seen it so empty. I thought it was a Monday night at like 8:30 in there, but it was a Thursday at midnight. Not good.

Hey all,
It’s that time again. Another reggae party at Glow. This was, I think, the 15th party for this production team and I think the 6th I’ve photographed for them at Glow. At this point I know the people that are going to turn up, who’s going to bring a dressed up dog, and I’m even learning the songs.
I really love the reggae version of Country Roads Take Me Home 
So for this one I tried to push the pictures a tiny bit more. I opted for extremely long exposures to really blur the lights and leave trails. These parties always have so much energy and I wanted to try and convey that in the pictures. This isn’t a Bed party, people aren’t standing around wanting to be seen… If you want to impress people at one of these parties you need to be dancing.
Hopefully they’ll continue on at Glow next year. If you’re feeling like you want to dance go check one out.

Hey all,
After the Temples Opening it was a short walk down the street to Bed Supperclub.
Friday night was the premier of their new resident DJ, DJ Jesse Garcia. I didn’t really stay on his side though. I traveled back and forth between the club part and the “supper” part which is where the party was really going.
It was decently packed for a Friday night and the music was good. I had a group of friends there that were really dancing, so I joined them for a while and enjoyed the night.
The pictures were for Lifestyle asia and you can see complete gallery here.BTW - the top pick didn’t make the Lifestyle gallery so I thought I’d embarrass some of my friends… sorry Shane

Hey all,
Following the Luxury 1 Year Anniversary it was time to head over to Siam@Siam.
This was my first visit to Siam@Siam. It’s a small boutique hotel and spa located just past MBK shopping center. I didn’t get a chance to check out the rooms. We headed straight up to the top floor for the party.
The roof area is pretty amazing and affords a nice view of Bangkok. This is a really great spot for a party, and I’m surprised more people don’t take advantage of the location and schedule events here (hint, hint Bangkok Theme Club group).
They also featured a lingerie-ish show with paired guy and girl models. I didn’t know that was going on so was surprised to turn and see a man in bikini briefs with faux bear paws
There was a free bar from 9-11. Keep your eyes peeled for their next full moon party.

Hey all,
On Friday I photographed two parties. The first took place at popular Bed Supperclub. The event was the 1 Year Anniversary for Luxury Magazine.
There was an open bar from 7-9 with drawings, prizes, and apparently some people got to take a spin in some of the high performance vehicles parked out front. I didn’t stay long because I had to run to Siam @ Siam for their monthly Full Moon Party (pics coming soon).

Hey all,
Last night photographed Above and Beyond Trance at 808. Was a good party for a Thursday night. Lots of people filled the club and danced hard.
I like 808 because of the variety of music they bring in. It’s a great venue, but I feel old there - not because of the crowd but because of the volume of the music. I wish they’d turn it down from 11 to 10

Hey all,
Last night photographed at the new Nomad Restaurant and Club. It’s a Moroccan themed restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 12. It’s a great place. The interior and decoration rivals Gazebo. The building is split into two sections. There’s a restaurant with nice tables and chairs and a cool looking outdoor seating area. The club portion is stunning. Nice ceiling and wall decorations with some modern photography on the walls.
I met the director Myriam. She’s a really nice lady and was very friendly.
I don’t know if the drinks were specialy priced for the Salsa night, but my Singha was only Baht 110 which is pretty good for such a nice looking place. I saw two ladies order mixed drinks at only Baht 200 a piece for a Mojito and Cosmo.
The event was thrown by Latinos Sabotaje. I met Carlos, an organizer for the events. Really cool group and they throw Latin-style parties around Bangkok throughout the week. Apparently there’s quite a network of dancers for these things, because the people present last night could dance. People were quite serious about it too, they brought special shoes and outfits. There were people on hand to teach beginners too though which is a nice touch.
The photos were shot for Lifestyleasia.com. Gallery Here.

Got a call late on Sat from Jam to come to Glow for SENSHIMIX METRO Pt2. Was fun party all in all. Not many people so took the opportunity to photograph the staff a lot. Mini pics here or look for glow on their facebook page.

Hey all,
The charity of the night was The Lotus Flower Foundation. This group is working with women and children’s issues. Great organization, with great goals. Looks like now they’ll have more of the funding they need to get things underway. Nice also to see Bed Supperclub using their influence and menu to support the needs of Thailand.
The night was split in two. There was a 5,000THB a head dinner and auction in the early stages of the night and then a party (pictured here). Look for the event part of the pictures to come soon. In the meantime here’s the after party for you to enjoy.

Hey all,
Going backwards from this weekend it seems. Here’s last Friday’s party at Glow Bar. This party was Vuiton Productions Chocolate R&B Party…or something like that. I’ve shot one other Vuiton Party at Gazebo. Pictured above are Jam from Glow and the main organizer for Vuiton Productions.
Sadly this party was not so well attended. At least as not as much as the past Glow parties I’ve been covering. They generally play nice R&B (at least it’s not all Justin Timberlake and that kind of “music”), have good drink promotions, etc…but for some reason the people just aren’t coming. Maybe foreigners in Bangkok are all into techno?
