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,

I’ll be heading back to Bangkok tonight. I have a shoot with Horizons (pictured above). They used to be a branch of Casa Pagoda, but re-branded and launched a new store with 4 floors. 2 floors are divided into “light” style furnishings and 2 floors are “dark”. Should be fun.

Then it’s probably off to shoot the Theme Club party on Friday and surprise, surprise Reggae at Glow on Saturday.

I’ll hit up a nice restaurant on Thursday for a new side project I’m working on and will make it to Soi Polo for their phenomenal garlic fried chicken and som tam on Saturday for lunch. Hopefully will have some time to get a haircut and hit up MBK for some odds and ends as well.

Anyone needing to reach me that’s located in Thailand, I’ll have my old number on this trip so give me a call.

PS - The shot above is mine for them from last November. Notice the raking of light across the top of the fabric to pull the green color out If you shoot something like this with direct flash the couch will appear almost black. It was an odd shoot, she wanted it to appear dark overall, but wanted the couch to show up lighter than it normally appears to the eye.
