About 40 people turned out for a musical dinner Sept.
6 at Le Caf้ Royal. Tom Kalb and David Kerrige, the managers of the Le
Cafe Royal donated 200 baht of every 750 baht buffet meal to Pattaya
Pride’s HIV and AIDS work headed by Dr. Philippe Seur.
U.K. drag queen “Miss Jason” headlined the evening’s
entertainment, turning even technical problems with the sound system
into laughter between songs. Former Le Caf้ Royale singer Toi, Filipino
singer D.K. and a male go-go bar act rounded out the night.
Seur thanked the guests for their attendance and
donations, as well as purchasing raffle tickets for a big-screen TV.
They money, he said, goes toward Pattaya Pride’s care of more than 2,000
AIDS patients and medicine.

The Pattaya Hilton will celebrate Oktoberfest for two

announced the Oct. 23-24 event at a Sept. 6 press conference and
beer-drinking contest. The Pattaya Mail’s own Montree Kotchawong won mugs
down and was awarded an original beer stein from Munich’s 200th Oktoberfest,
yet still somehow managed to go back to work.
Next month’s 6:30 p.m. parties will unfold in the Hilton
ballroom and feature original Paulaner Oktoberfest and white beers at 220
baht per 500 ml stein. Other domestic and imported beer will also be
available, as well as a selection of authentic German schnapps.
Food and Beverage Manager Simon Bender has prepared a
genuine menu of sausages, fresh pork hock, assorted cold cuts and roast
meats from German butcher Karl Otto of Hua Hin. Other specialties to be
offered include cheese spaetzle, Obatzter cheese, a variety of typical
Bavarian salads, red berry compote, sauerkraut and apple strudel.
In addition, the German-Austrian music band Anton & the
Funny Guys will perform classic Oktoberfest music as guests participate in
traditional nail hammering, beer-drinking, and saw contests.
Admission tickets will be 1,100 baht per person and
include food, water and soft drinks.
