Thank you Mac for help making these parties possible with Walen's Support

[lujanit]

I would like to thank the organizers and sponsors for a great night. The band (Heart band?) were very good. Wow do those girls get a workout, no need for a gym session needed for them. The leopard was interesting, very pretty lass.

Any chance of some photos being posted. There were plenty of cameras about.

You can post my pictures if you want. No worries. You have my consent.

Was a very good party. The band was exhuberant to say the least, and met all requests, even ACDC. The cat, and magician were special treats, and I did get lots of pics. Only a few suggestions for the next party, one of which was mentioned by my girlfriend, and one noticed by myself.

My girl friend noticed that although the food was excellent there was a marked lack of Thai food for those that prefered it, and I was a little set back having to pay bt95 for a soft drink, when the OP mentioned free soft drinks. Medication precludes me from alcohol, although I did nurse one beer all night just to remember the taste, and left half of it, as did my girlfriend. Are our two leftover punches good for the next party....lololol?

This should not be taken as us not enjoing ourselves, we did, there was ample entertainment for the cost, even without the drinks, but the party was tailored around Western food, and drinking alcohol, with no alternatives for those prefering Thai food, and no alternative to alcohol, except for extremely overpriced soft drinks, contrary to the OP. I don't think all members, or their guests, are solely Western food eater, or alcohol drinkers. The party was well planned, and executed though, and we did have a good time. These are just observations to maybe make the next one even better.

raro, I understand your concerns about 'facebook photos' I did not make myself clear, my bad!

I was hoping for some photos of the band (already plenty of videos on youtube but the quality is crap) and maybe the 'leopard' Given the excellent makeup no one not in the know could recoginize her. Is this too much to ask?

Also I would like to commend the guy who sang a couple of songs, he was very good. Thanks again for a great night.

[SeaVisionBurma]

I have no objections either - and bazmlb above has agreed, so the photo with us and Khun Leopard could be put up to appease the curious...What do you think Barry?

Well noted, we will do some more Thai food for future parties. Sorry for the soft drink, that was indeed supposed to be free. If you would have pointed this out to the thaivisa management (the table that certainly didn't see any softdrinks), we would have sorted that for you.

Hope to see you at the next party on December 1st and I'll buy you a drink or two

Hi Koolbreez, to confirm my earlier PM to you.. 2 SNAFU's

Observations well received.. the soft-drink was my fault (not ThaiVisa) - sorry. I was caught downstairs with the badge making backlog and did not get upstairs early enough to confirm the arrangements with the full staff shift. Had you been able to highlight to me - we could have fixed it immediately...

The three dishes of Thai food were actually taken to the upstairs servery and unfortunately those dishes were not repeated with the main buffet (due to limited space apparently).

Just to confirm my PM to you - we would be most pleased to offer you a complimentary Thai dinner for two and a round or two of Free soft drinks when you are next able to return to Checkinn99 for a normal night of entertainment. Just please PM me with a confirmation reply before you come and I will arrange with the staff / cashiers.

Some things did drop off the radar in the opening hours once the Beer Lao flowed but thanks anyway for the feedback.. I am pleased you still had a great time. Chris

[CheckInn99]

Lujanit.. Bernard is a long time Friend of Checkinn and a regular crooner.

I actually did not take any clips of Bernard during the night .. but have attached one of the earlier numbers performed...by both Bernard and MOTH Band.

Here are the photos of the Thai Visa Party at Checkinn99. Excuse the hasty montage.. if there are any photos in there that shouldn't be I will change the original clip.. just PM me. It was a pleasure to host this party and great to meet the folks behind the avatars. A special thanks to George & thai Visa Management / Moderators for a well organised and thoroughly professional approach to the whole party...(the couple of SNAFUs were on my part alone) Good luck for the next parties.

Here you go then

Sounds like you lot had a great time, sadly I'm not in Thailand at the moment.

Out of curiosity, was that eek?
