Used to be part of the parties but these days I’m just another party goer and I DJ every now and then.

I started 1st bikini contest on Koh Phangan in Haad Rin when I used to own Glacier club back in March 2009. The event take on and now has become part of Haad Rin New Year’s count down event. I also started an annual kitesurfing competition for the past 3 years, which introduce this new exciting sport along with promoting Koh Phangan to be Thailand famous kite spot.
