Similar thing happened to me at Lampang airport. I got off the flight to be met by dozens of screaming women from teenagers to middle aged including my GF. Apparently some famous bloke was on the plane with me. I had no idea. Still don't know who he was.

The kray twins uncle so he claimed at a bar in Phuket.

 

Around '69/'70 there was a pub I used to go to and the landlord was called Robbie Craze and he said he was a cousin of the Krays ( but changed his name ), who coincidently sometimes on coming south of the Thames used to drink at a pub about a mile away and B. Windsor was seen there once , how much truth in these stories I will never know.

Much the same here Black arab. A few years ago on a flight back from Bankers to Chiang Rai the air hostess I was told by my wife was a famous soap star . Of course I said not a very good one apparently as now relegated to selling as a trolly dolly.  Pim asked if she could have her autograf ,yes if we bought something . I said " Don't bother she can't be that famous."

Why would he change his name and tell you that he is family?

Did he have a group of people following him around making funny sounds every time he did something?

Boing, boom, tsjiiieeeeeep, foooooooooooooht

 

That guy is in almost every Thai tv show, mostly funny shows with those horrible sound effects.

No idea what his name is though.

I think i have met the complete "Seal team 6" by now, all of them one by one in beer bars on different occassions.
And very strangely they all were the one who shot Osama.

why have a photo with him if you don't know who he is. It's MuM one of Thailand's most famous comedians. I was on his show once, I told him I did not know who he was, that raised a laugh.

When I first read your post I was thinking Ginger Rogers until I looked up her name.

 

I like Mimi Rogers but as with many actors such as Harry Dean Stanton I just never learned their real (SAG) names.

Met the Thai "Diva of Jazz" in 1974. She wasn't famous then. I even asked her to marry me but she decided to take a smarter and better off guy instead.

[smotherb]

I met the internationally known duo, Pen and Nit; who used to work upstairs at the Bunny House.

[billrose]

Peter Reid coaching the Thai football team in Pak Thong Chai in 2009. I used to know him when he played for Bolton Wanderers in the 1970's but he didn't remember me!

 

[Orton Rd]

I wonder who the diva of Thai Jazz was?
