Hey all,

Another event from last week’s trip to Bangkok. Stopped by Glow Bar Bangkok on Thursday at Jam’s request.

Hey all,

Back in Bangkok for the buildup to the wedding this weekend in Hua Hin. Contacted the guys at Lifestyle Asia to see if they needed any photography while I was in town. First up was the Full Moon Party at Siam@Siam.

Hey all,

While back in Bangkok it was time again for the monthly Reggae party. Pretty much the same crowd, plus a few extras… like every reggae party. The party was good, lots of people this time - the Xmas Reggae party wasn’t as full as these parties normally get.

Hey all,

After Glow on Friday it was off to the new club on Petchburi Road - P35. My friend Florian and his Theme Club crew were throwing their monthly party. I guess I’ve been out of Bangkok long enough to be out of the loop because the people watching the door didn’t know me and weren’t going to let me in for pictures (trying to make me pay :p ). I said I’d be fine to enter like that, as I’d much rather not work and just enjoy the night. Finally things were sorted and I was allowed access.

The club is pretty big. Nicely decorated for the most part, with a combination of lounge areas and large dance floor. The lighting system was top notch and the sound was decent. I didn’t buy drinks so can’t really report on the prices, but service seemed to be moving quickly.

The club is a bit off the beaten track, so I hope for their sake they’re doing something out of the norm - i.e. staying open past 2, cheap drinks, or something. Otherwise I can’t imagine heading their too regularly, particularly for farangs (foreigners) who are new to the area and might feel intimidated venturing off of Sukhumvit. Time will tell and I wish them the best.

Pics were for Florian. Find him on Facebook to see the rest.

Hey all,

Shot what could very well be my last Glow Facebook party this past Saturday. Hopefully this isn’t my last party at Glow. I’d like to keep things open there and make it back from time to time when back in Thailand. We’ll see.

This party was fantastic. When Glow is on it’s really on. The bottom floor was packed and people were dancing. About halfway through the second DJ set they really turned a corner. They had been doing straight minimal techno, but then one of the MC’s from the Reggae parties showed up and did some freestyle on top of some more aggressive tracks. Really brought the energy of the place up.

These parties don’t happen much, but be sure and stop by around 12 or 12:30 the next time one is on for a treat.

Hey all,

Haven’t shot at Indus in ages it seems. This was a good party to come back for though. Gauruv, Sid’s younger brother, was spinning for the first time in 5 years.

The party was called Swag Attack, which I didn’t really understand, but oh well. I thought Swag like free stuff, but nothing was free

G and a Thai DJ took turns spinning through the night. The place really filled up too. More people than Bed on Christmas.

The only problem I have with parties at Indus is the garden area is so nice and ever since the smoking ban came in to place in Bangkok everyone just stays outside. This is good if you just want to stand around talking. But if you’re looking to dance and 2/3rds or more of the people are outside then it kind of sucks.

All in all a good party with lots of people. Maybe Indus can turn into more a regular night spot for some people…

After Bed it was off to Glow. I was hoping for more people, a surprise epic party…I was let down a bit. There weren’t that many peeople, which was too bad, the DJ was really good.

At least here people were dancing and things were actually decorated for Christmas. I had a great time even though there weren’t lots of peeople, one of Glow’s strengths. I can always have fun there because people actually dance there… usually.

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,
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.

Pictures were again for Lifestyleasia.com . Check out full gallery here:
