King George. His term limit expired and he went back to Texas.

Canada Eh.

Was a great event last year and well attended.

The official poster says "6 AND Under are Free!

But in other postings it stated "Kids 6-12 are 200 Baht"

My daughter is six and she really wants to know . . which is correct?

By the way, I asked the staff at Dukes and they did not know.

Your 6 year old will be able to get in for free, it should have read ages 7 through 12 are 200 baht pre-purchased or 250 baht at the gate. This event is open to all nationalities please remember to bring your passport and if you are Thai please bring your Thai ID. Children of school age will need their school ID, younger children 6 and under will be able to enter on their parents ID.

My apoligies.....6 and under (according to the poster) is free.

Open to all nationalities - passport required.

Just wondering, why is a passport required?

Should be a good day of social fun, eating and drinking, etc. David, at Dukes must have a real large set up to slow cook the pork ribs required, just for the 1000 tickets already sold. 1000+_ pounds and then you have the tickets sold at the gate. All you can eat, will increase the requirement a bit when the women folk hit the trough. The ribs that will be consumed will require a good number of porkers, depending on size of course. 20 lbs/pig of ribs, is apt to short the rib availability for a day or so. Good luck and good eating.

I think if u show ur American passport, you should get head of the line privileges in any line :-)

Seriously, last year I missed out on the last dam_n Dr. Pepper to a freaking non-American when they were sent here FOR the Americans.

In the flyer post about the party it says..non Thai citizens must show a COPY of their passport....so which is it....???...chorizo....

Proper ID is required to access the venue. If you are a foreigner and don't have a passport, you cannot go. Thai people need an ID card to go.

In case you're wondering where the 4th of July celebration is being held, I have attached a map. It is at the Chiang Mai Municipal Stadium at the small field behind the stadium field.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING WHERE THE 4TH JULY CELEBRATION IS BEING HELD IT WILL BE AT THE CHIANG MAI MUNICIPAL STADIUM.doc

Unless Thai spouses, I really fail to see the attraction for non-Yanks. Surely would be akin to having teeth pulled.

Maybe people just want to have a nice time, see friends, eat, etc.

Bush has been gone for more than a year now. Get over it...

Are you joking?

All the Duke's BBQ you can eat for 300 baht and (some) free deserts from Butter is Better. The place will be swamped with frugal gourmets and big eaters of every nationality. Venturalaw flew back from far, far away just to have an excuse to ruin his diet.

When is the 4th July this year?

and why, when Americans always incorrectly put the month first, isn't it July 4th instead of 4th of July?

Since the festivities are over, and some are becoming pedantic, everyone can join this topic now.
