Dutch Thai experiences with buidling a happy/gay theater cafe/bar in Thailand's Patong Beach on Phuket. An adventure in which we will try to create a home a way from home, where foreigners ("farang" in Thai) and Thai alike, will feel at home and enjoy making decent fun together. The Backstage, small as it is, will organise or facilitate all kinds of entertainment, life music, lipsync shows, karaoke, cabaret, stand-up-comedy, whatever cusotmers or we come up with ;-)

Impressions of introduction (party) Backstage on 1st of September, I
Left: Introduction Day for The Backstage started with a ritual of classical Thai dancing performed at The Backstage in the morning, after we visited Temple to pray and ask for good luck and fortune for The Backstage!
Right: The two dancers, who in daily life perform for Phuket Fantasea and are friends of Kik. These classical Thai costumes are very eleborate and it took them more then a good hour to get dressed!
Left: After a whole day of preparing, the finishing though is made with the buffet-table in the traditional Thai way. Our table had next to fruit, pork, beef and chicken satay, friend rice (one large portion we received as gift from our neighbour Wood), punch (with Sang Som, a Thai wiskey) and fried Thai chicken legs.
Our food had been prepared by long time friend Somchai, a co-performer from Kik at Simon Cabaret, also a friend of Rin and Gong, and an excellent cook (you should taste his spagethi bolognese, mmmm)
