During the evening we held a business card draw for all the guests to join in and this time the Lucky winner was Florian Preuss, the Thailand and Mekong Region Manager for Etihad Airways. He received 2,000 Baht in vouchers to spend on food and beverage at Jameson's Bangkok. Florian has been living and working here in Thailand for 3 years and prior to that worked out of Hong Kong. He is from Germany although speaking to him you would never know as he has no accent. When I asked him where his accent was, he told me he had lost it whilst being educated overseas. If you'd asked me I would have definitely said he was English...!

Etihad are an ever expanding airways that continue to impress all their passengers, so next time you are considering a journey make sure you check out their fares. I have also included a link to their fact sheet just click below to to see it.

We also hosted a party for some friends and regular guests of Jameson's Bangkok and as you can see from the Photos, the food was delicious and was soon devoured by all.

If you are considering a venue for your next party, feel free to contact me and see what we can do for you. Judging by the number of events coming up it is always best to plan ahead. Our next major event will be a for the British Chamber of Commerce (BCCT) on June 5th 2009. It is a networking night and is being held as a prelude to the Tesco Lotus Master Football tournament. Jameson's Bangkok will also be hosting a bottle bar at the tournament for all those thirsty fans and players. For more information contact the BCCT here in Bangkok. For any players who need accommodation during the tournament contact me - tim@jamesons-bangkok.com - and I can get some special rates courtesy of Michael Horsburgh, the ever friendly General Manager of the Holiday Inn Silom.

Daryl waiting to thrash me at Pool. Again!

Thanks for all the fans that turned up early on Sunday morning to support the fight and a special thank you to his friends from Manchester ‘Team Hatton’ for choosing to watch the fight here (I promise I won’t tell your wives).

Also on the sporting front, a very, very big thank you to Dave from England for bringing me an autographed Everton shirt. He managed to get his friend (and Everton Youth Team Coach) to sneak into the changing rooms and get the lads to sign a shirt for me, so thanks very much! Any of you who have sports memorabilia that you would like to display at Jameson's Bangkok, please contact me for details.

In this photo you see a Vicky and I posing with our beers......it was a special occasion as they were bought for us by Bimal after he lost in a doubles match. No sweeter taste than victory...! Keep practicing Bimal. ;o)
