RIP NICK: Hadnt seen Nick for a few years but I was in CM Aug/Sept 2024 & Mad Dog wasnt looking that good. I never saw Nick but it takes me back to the Escape days when I first met him & John Ball. He did the Mad Dog up really nice & I always went there on my jaunts back to CM. Also just found out Aussie Ray Simmons passed away I think last month. Ray owned the original Aussie Cafe opposite the Prince then the Tiger Bar & did a stint in Soi 1 MoonMuang---the Aussie Cafe started the ChiangMai Golfers Club & the Visa runs to Mae Sai. After Ray left Mark Ellenden [DcD] ran the cafe then Bert a Postie from Holland then it closed & is today a section. The Golfers Club is now the Chiangmai Social Golfers Club and the originals Tama Ruru NZ is still ticking along /Mark [DcD] & Rick Cameron [DcD]...... both from Aus--great guys the whole lot of them & the best days in ChiangMai by far....Too everyone on this day enjoy Xmas 2024...chok dee bee mai

I just remembered my old mate Max nee Coel died 11 years ago yesterday of cancer. Max was from the Uk and ran the Black Cat on Johns cnr then the Moon Garden till finally the Mood River GH/Bar. One of the best soclalizing characters & a nice guy. He had many road bikes & could drink without ever losing his cool or getting mal..... & had a good following. Great party days back then---boy I miss those old days from 98 onwards Max........ RIP Buddy
