Phuket loses its mojo with the death of Jason Wilder

[snoop1130]

 

Vale Jason Wilder.

 

Very, very sad news this morning following the death of work compatriot and good friend Jason Wilder. Jason passed away whilst at the Glastonbury music festival whilst resting in his on-site tent. The BBC reported the passing of one of the attendees yesterday.

 

Jason is best known in Phuket for his long stint behind the afternoon ‘Drive’ mic at Live 89.5FM, part of The Phuket News empire at Samkong. Every show would open with “Sawasdee krub pi nong krub!” Then it would be three hours of non-stop ‘Jason’ from there on. Listeners just had to hang on and enjoy the ride.

 

Such a natural-born engager and entertainer – solo behind the mic, or in the company of close friends and family, or in front of thousands. He was certainly the best expat radio talent than ever graced a microphone in Thailand.
