And another contribution from a friend of mine.......
"And we can't go much further without paying respects to dear, departed, diminutive Dr Frank Kelly from Australia, the genial former convenor of the Informal Northern Thai Group who had previously written speeches for Pierre Trudeau in Canada. Frank, who passed away quietly here after battling cancer for almost a year, had finished an authorative book on expat life styles. He had lived and worked in 14 expat communities. The book was never published and now seems to have been forgotten. Shame as it looked very promising. Can anyone shed any light on it..?" |

QUOTE(Gonzo the Face @ 2006-09-18 14:49:30) Something Blinky Bill said triggered a thought in my mind about all the drinking mates that I have known and remember since being in Chiang Mai, specifically those who have passed on I would like to start a list of those I remember here in Chiang Mai and would like all other local members to chip in and add the names they remember. Just add them onto the list and in this way maybe all of us together or by ourselves can have a drink and say salute, salude, old buddy, I remember and miss you. Here is the start of the list I would like to remember, add to it if you like and see how many we can remember. Salute Good Buddies  Skipper Andy the Scot J. B. Gross Jeremy Roger Morton Allister the Scot Jack Wall Rick Cherry [ Dr. Lic ] Crickett ........ way before her time add on guys and gals And there is Rolfe (Flamingo Bar) And I just learned that Dennis Monkhouse passed away some time back in Australia. Still working, had breakfast and died at his desk. !! He hadn't visited Chiangmai for a couple of years but was well known to many on the forum, MM & BB being just a couple. I just hope that I am as sharp at 75 as he was at 86. |

Can someone please confirm this news about Andy Gill? I know many many people who will be most interested. I am surprised the press haven't picked up on it.

If I remember correctly, he locked himself in a room above the bar and people used to send up supplies through the window in a metal bucket with a rope and pulley system for quite a length of time.
 Chiang Mai was WILD before all the yuppies moved in.

I haven't seen any mention of the gentleman who owned the Coq D'Or..? I never met him, but it seems he was quite a character. He left some of his books to Premcenter School library.

For some reason I can't even remember the name of his wife, but her common nickname was simply "the dragon lady". |

Then there was at least one Aussie, working in Chiang Mai at about the same time who went back to Australia where they did not appreciate his living in the fast lane and he ended up becoming a guest of the Australian government under rather confining conditions. |

This thread gets more depressing as it goes along. Probably only a handful there that I never met, and some of the others were very close friends. Life goes on so they say, but it's good to be remembered.

From someone who doesn't drink alcohol or hang out in the nitelife here, It's not surprising when I say that in my time here, I haven't met any of those mentioned here in my 22 years of living in Chiang Mai... And feeling pretty happy about it.
