Taste of Thailand Tour - 21st June 2014
"What an amazing tour! Having lived in Bangkok for 2.5 years I was under the impression that I already knew a lot about Thai food ....but I was wrong. Whether you're new to Bangkok, just visiting or have lived here for a while, I would highly recommend this trip!The assault on the senses whilst taking this fun walking tour was marvellous, with new scents, new sights and new tastes. We meandered down by the river, drank Chinese tea (that would put hairs on anyone's chest) and explored the different regions of Thailand through its food. It's also great value for money as you leave with a very full belly!There was an opportunity to learn more about this wonderful city with our friendly guides (Jacob and Pu) giving us snippets of information about this amazing city. All in all a great, and yummy, experience!!"
St George's Ball 2014
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.

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.
