AFTER DARK ASIA - VOLUME 7

THAILAND NIGHTLIFE GETS A GREEN LIGHT

Today it is Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s 76th birthday.  The go-go bars, pubs and nightclubs will be open right across Thailand. The bars and nightspots have been open for the past 2 years, so we presumed it would be the same this year.  The Thais will pay various tributes to Her Majesty the Queen.  Tonight there will be a traditional candle-lit ceremony, where crowds of Thais will congregate and sing a song of tribute.
