Is on the server now. Actually, feel proud of this one, splitting pics between Facebook - and the Slideshows adds complexity - in fact I have missed one - but I think it's worth it.
We now have 107 Facebook fans - hopefully , this will continue to grow.

Censorship in Thailand
The Blog Site "AbsolutelyBangkok" carried a very concerning article a few days ago http://absolutelybangkok.com/dangerous-ground/
Essentially it says that there are rumours that there is about to be a clampdown on Internet Sites that suggest that Thailand may be a Sex Tourism Destination.
I have always tried very hard not to cross a boundary of what can be considered "good taste" - yes, I hope we are fun, suggestive even, but never pornographic and certainly never promote anything unlawful. However reading the article I feel that we will be at risk of being blocked. The site is located outside Thailand - so a block wouldn't affect International visitors - but could make maintenance and updating more difficult.
Remember also that Thailand (under the last Military Coup) enacted legislation that makes it an offence to use a computer to spread anything that could be considered to be against Thailand's National Interest.
As a student, I was labelled a "Trotskyist", my fanzine was the Militant newspaper, Jack Straw and Trevor Phillips were right wing communists! (Sorry this will only make sense to UK politically aware residents). I remember campaigning against any form of National ID Databases and cards. People said that only criminals had reason to fear these things. I used to argue that 'criminal' was simply a label used by those in power to label those that threatened their power. Sadly, it looks as if in Thailand, this is beginning to happen.
So the AJ sites will be maintained and registered from the UK.
I hope I am being hyper -sensitive.

Another New Camera!
When I talk to people in Anna Jet, one comment is almost universal - "keep updating the site!!"
When you look at what people look at - it's the pictures! So I'll be trying to do just that. Hence the new camera, I can just keep it in my pocket when I'm in the Bar and whip it out (if you get my drift) whenever appropriate.
This was particularly inspired by a couple of girls a customer bought in who created some of the sexiest dancing on the pole I have every seen (without a dildo)!
We are also using a Facebook Page for the Bar. Facebook is one of those things that produce quite violent reactions - from "what a load of crap" to "it's my life" (sad, I know) - I guess I am somewhere in the middle - I am bemused and a bit bored by people sending me virtual flowers/pets/ thai food/ new products from their farm in the Mid-West / machine guns etc. But enjoy seeing what is going on amongst family and friends and interested in new videos and causes that people raise. But it is far more interactive than anything else we have on the web and enables a far wider potential circulation than from the main site or the forum.
So the photos will automatically go on the Facebook page and be repeated as videos here and on You Tube.
If you are a Facebook member - then search for Anna Jet - and become a "fan"!

Lec and Au - carried away!
Au, apart from being very sexy anyway - is proving to be a very energetic dancer - and normally gets a cheer as she hits the pole!

New Camera for Anna
I love my camera, but it isn't exactly suited to a night on the town - and as they say, the best camera is the one with you when you see a shot!
So we have just updated our Point and Shoot - to a Sony T77 (now discontinued and suitably discounted) for Anna's use. It really is small enough to take everywhere with you, responds quickly - but it's flash is a bit weak.
But it was out with us in Casino (until 6) and then Insomnia.

Dave Pearce at Insomnia
About 10 years ago, my son Sam brought home a copy of a Gatecrasher CD - and my affiliation with House and Trance Music was created. Interestingly enough, he now listens to Dylan, Crosby .... et al. The stuff I listened to before!
Shortly after, I began to listen to a programme at 7pm on Sunday evenings on Radio 1 - the DJ was Dave Pearce. He played the same anthems that we play even now at Anna Jet - they are classic and timeless - and he did a lot more. Just before coming to Thailand I was working all week in the North East - Dave Pearce accompanied me on my Sunday drive up from the Cotswolds.
So, when I learnt he was going to be playing at Insomnia, I was determined to find the time to get there. And I did last night.
He come on at around 2am and was brilliant - and I, and a few other AJ customers who turned out to be there just jumped around like demented groupies.
I'm not a great fan of Insomnia - generally I turn up at around 5-6am, well tired and pissed off because it's so crowded and I don't recognise any of the music.
But this was great, a good crowd, but space to dance, the overly aggressive Insomnia girls were ignored, we just enjoyed the music. He played until around 4.30 (by which time Anna, some girls and one of our DJ's had come to join us) - and within 15 minutes we were back to the normal lifeless Insomnia style. So I went home. I had had my day!
Thank you Dave - and yes, thank you Insomnia!

Holiday in the Andaman
After my birthday, Sam (my son) and I had a day to recover and then headed South.
Our first night was in Chompon. We got there around 8.30pm and like most THai towns at night it was dark and gloomy. We had picked a town centre hotel and immediately hatched a plan - eat and then Kareoke.
That we were staying in Chompon isn't interesting - but going to a Kareoke is. You might have had a night out in one with a bar-fine. If you haven't, then try it. It will open your eyes as to what "being taken care" really means. You begin to understand why some of the girls in Beer Bars do what they do.
Anyway, going in alone is different altogether. Then you get the full treatment ......"you want a girl?" " no, we will just sit down" .
Two arrive anyway. Sit next to us. Serve Samsung soda cokes. The order of two Samsung Cokes is translated as a half bottle by the way. The girls (mine is definitely a woman - she left girlhood a few decades ago) start to massage our arms, thighs and necks. We remark that the singer is pretty - so she comes over is invited to sit next to me - got rid of grandma anyway.
The girls, we now have 4, give up allowing us to only buy them coffee and move on to Spry. They are also helping themselves to our Samsung.
Talk of Bar Fines, Short and Long Times. 500 and 2000 overnight. Nope thanks - we are tired, but thank you.
Tips all round. Total bill for a great 90 minutes when they made us feel like Kings? Around 1200 baht. I've spent that in 5 minutes in Casino.

Pissed Off by any Pictures?
If so - then let us know and we will remove them!
When I'm taking pictures of customers in the bar I always ask first.
I point out that the pictures might go on the internet and if they are supposed to be skiing in the Alps (yes, this happens a lot), but are actually mongering here in Pattaya, then pictures of them with their nose in a girl's tits in Pattaya could be damaging to their reputation.
Some people rapidly point out that they are "on the sick," "hiding," or simply decline the photo. I had one chap threaten me - and he was simply walking past Anna Jet when the flash went off! I suspect he also was "in hiding"! Anyway, I do believe that you have the right to choose whether to appear on the 'net or not.
I also understand that circumstances change - over the years I've had a number of people e-mail me explaining that Lek/Noi/Mel/Tilak is now a respected Housfrau in the Black Forest and having pictures of her as a bar girl in Pattaya was potentially embarrassing. No Problem. I have always removed the photos.
So, if you are troubled in any way by a picture of you or your partner - simply let me know and I will do my best to rectify the situation as soon as possible. Please don't abuse Anna - she has nothing to do with the web-site - other than starring in it!
