THE BANGKOK ST GEORGE'S SOCIETY 52nd ANNUAL BALL
The English will always jump at any opportunity to feel extremely English...and this year’s Annual Ball was no exception! With an amazing turnout our guests enjoyed an absolutely stunning performance by the Royal Thai Army Band, with the peak of the performance being the Thai and British national anthems.
Be England what she will, … with all her faults she is my country still

We were honoured to have the Gurkhas with us who kindly presented our outgoing President Abigail Evans, and our current President Robert Rose, with gifts from Nepal. An unexpected honour! We were also extremely proud to pay tribute to Madam Gale Bailey MBE for her charity work in Thailand. Beautiful flowers were awarded to Gale Bailey, Helen Couldrey, Abigail Evans and Ann & Kevin Hellon for their dedication in organising the event.
The Unicorn Girl Band played an amazing set, followed by our fabulous DJ, Billy V. The whole evening was flawlessly presented by our MC Paul Jackson who did a sterling job. All in all, an amazing evening beautifully hosted, yet again, by the amazing team at the Amari Watergate Hotel.
An Englishman, even if he is alone, … forms an orderly queue of one
