03/05/2007: "BANGKOK RIVER CRUISE"

It was a party for Tom (American film producer based in Bangkok, the Asian Quentin Tarantino).

We cruised the Bangkok River for about five hours and into the night. How come?

My pal Kevin and I had just stepped off a long-tailed boat ride (one of the best boat trips I've ever experienced - a V6 car engine powering a 56 foot canoe-style James Bond boat) when I spotted a Jocelyn Edwards look-alike.

Minutes later, in true Jocelyn form, she had invited us aboard their hired boat along with about 50 friends, both new and long-term friends, for a champagne and beer party cruise.

The look-alike was 'Tom's' girlfriend.

One American about my age was Glen Miller - a Texan with a Johnny Cash voice who now flies light aircraft for fun after years working with B-52's.

Maybe our video recorded that day will see the light of day, somehow?

"Welcome to Bangkok" said Glen - with a cigar stub from the corner of his mouth. No other Aussie's were aboard. We are a rare mob.
