Last night I went to the newly opened Mikkeller Beer Bar in Bangkok. The Danish craft beer brewery launched their first Asian bar just a week ago. They also have two in Denmark and one in San Fransisco, and in March they will open in Stockholm, Sweden. They offer 30 beers on tap, some will always be there, some will…
The Bangkok nightlife has always been good and interesting in my opinion. Maybe “same same – but different” from time to time. But there has always been something out there for everyone. More on this in a few articles on the blog in the near future. For now some events for this week:
It has been really busy with various projects over the last couple of weeks. I’m also pitching some documentary ideas in different directions to see if I can put it all together.

Last Sunday it was time for the first Kolour Sundays Party for this year. I was there. I was tired after a long period working on some heavy projects documenting some interesting things.

Last night I was at the Grand VIP re-opening of Siam Center shopping mall in Bangkok Thailand. It was a great event. Here are some clips and pictures from that event.
