I would like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas. Wherever you may be for Christmas this year, I hope you have a pleasant time. Whether you are partying in Thailand, or spending quality time with your families, I sincerely wish you all the best. It certainly does not feel like the Christmas climate here in Bangkok. I thought it was supposed to be the cool season and yet, even the Thais are complaining how scorching HOT it is. In the afternoons the temperatures have soared. I suppose you could say that in Bangkok it is a “white hot” Christmas!
FESTIVE FEAST IN THE CATHOUSE
On Christmas Eve only, the Cathouse is offering a Special Christmas Buffet. Just a reminder to you non-churchgoers that means December 24th! The generous folks at the Cathouse will present a festive feast that is a remarkably good meal deal for ONLY 250 Baht per person. The way the owner Willem is going, he will go down in history as one of the most generous Dutchmen of all time!
THE CATHOUSE CHRISTMAS BUFFET MENU
COLD PLATE STARTERS – mixed green salad with several dressings, marinated salmon, steamed Vienna sausages, and a selection Of Cheese.
MAIN DISHES – steamed pork loin and sauerkraut, beef stew, roast beef in red wine sauce and red cabbage, turkey and honey glazed ham.
SIDE DISHES – baked potatoes with cheese, half boiled eggs garnished with various dressings, cranberry sauce and fresh bread.
THAI FOOD – green chicken curry, chicken with cashew nuts, tom yam gung (hot and sour prawn soup), spicy pork with lemon, fried and steamed rice.
DESSERTS — ice cream, apple strudel, and mixed fruit salad.
The Christmas buffet will be served from 5:00pm until 8:00pm. Enjoy!
*The Cathouse is located directly above Big Dogs Bar in Nana Plaza.*
CHRISTMAS EVE AND NEW YEAR’S EVE BARFINES
Be prepared that the bar fines on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve will be higher than normal nights. This will vary from venue-to-venue and also depend on the time of night. Expect go-go bars in Bangkok to charge anywhere from 1,000 Baht up to 2,000 Baht. If any establishment tries to go above this level, I think they will commit financial suicide!
PARTY ON PEOPLE
All of the go-go bars, beer bars, pubs and clubs, right across Thailand are open tonight. The Elections will be over and everywhere will should be selling alcohol from 6:00pm. Hooray!
