Have fun, sorry not to be there. It looks like you have an impressive set of shutters now though.

Unless my ears were deceiving me in the car last week, though, I am sure that I heard Surf playing the Lighthouse Family. Surely practicing for clearing the bar at closing time?

Cheers Jim,

Just to clarify the grand opening will not be for about 3 weeks. Lots of little things to do which will be another ball ache.

Fair points Guess. However, I was attempting the u-turn at the end of Soi 6 at the time. I was half way across the road with a Toyota pick up flashing its lights at me, so I had a split second decision to make. Do I keep going and get out of his way, or do I make a grab for the radio and turn the Lighthouse Family off before I'm ill? I acted like a local, stalled across 2 of the 3 lanes, leaned down for the radio, watched the Toyota's tyres squeel, and turned the sound off. And drove into town happily thereafter. It was a close escape, I almost had to listen to more than 3 bars.

I paid a visit to the new J.W.s last night and I like it, I used to spend most of my time in the Road Hole until it died earlier this year, so I’ve been looking for a new bar to prop up. I was pleased to see some of the old Road Hole staff as well, seeing as most of them are virtually neighbours of our place up in Nong Ki, and they have been throwing beers at me in Hua Hin for several years.
I have had to promise not to bring any jungle food back anymore, as apparently the new kitchen is going to be too good for that sort of thing, so no more curried frog!

Cheers Steve,

Got quite a few things left to do, music, bigger tv, kitchen, bar extension and got some nice ideas for decor.
The big party will be when all is complete and can handle loads of drinking!

Hey there JW,
I'm sorry I'm not in town and will miss the big re-opening.
It sounds like it would be a real good time.

Good luck.

I spent about four hours in J.W.s last night and got very high spirited, this ended up with me putting on an display of Issan dancing with a ladyboy, in some bar which luckily I don't remember the name of. I think this scared four elderly german tourists as they left soon after. Anyway my girlfriend got me home in one piece so all is well.
