Mystery 70 year old Green Mango raver

[Bigdogfarang]

Went back to Green Mango recently and the same guy I saw 5 years ago was on stage doing the same dance - the old boy must be in his 70s always in smart trousers and a nicely ironed shirt - always on stage doing the same dance whilst techno is blaring out around him .. anyone know this chaps backstory? Would love to think he's a forum contributor - all the Thai girls know him and the tourists love him he must be clearing up in there - someone said he was Swiss .. anyone know of him ?

He used to be in Sound Club every night until it closed. Always up on stage at the far back left corner, always with the same moves. As much as some people laugh at him, you have to have respect for the guy, still having the energy and inclination at his age.

I was in Green Mango / Reggae Pub 15-30 years ago and there was a guy 20 years older than me and he did the same. Maybe he? 

 

I was also at the night life high spots of Bangkok end of the 80s. And there was a Farang, about 30 years older than me, who came every night, stayed not longer than 15 minutes and went on to the next bar. Everyone knew him, everyone liked him, the girls, the expats, the toilet people ... from Patpong, Nana, Therme etc.

 

I have heard, that he is still alive and there and doing exactly the same.

I saw this guy last time in Green Mango and could only laugh. I wish I was as care free as he is. I kinda figured he was on something, but if he's doing to sober, more power to him.

Yes, have to admit I'm "on something" – but I never drink alcohol, when out for a night-in-town, I'm supposed to drive safely back home – I'm "on" the one Red Bull that gives me wings, and plain water...

How come, it's summer of '69, and I was never dancing when I was young...

If you are anything like me then you don't care now whether anyone notices that you can't dance. Get some of the girls up on the stage with you next time ......... ;-)

Good for you Per, isn't it lovely to get to the stage of life where you don't give a SH@£%&*()T what anybody thinks, you just want to enjoy yourself?

"I have heard, that he is still alive and there and doing exactly the same."

  Doing what?....you say he came into a bar in BKK, stayed 15 minutes, then left and went into the next bar.

  There a "pub crawlers" all over the world (I used to be one myself)?
