Thanks for the info on Monty's re-opening. Is EH open daily now? Would like to go check it out next week.

Thanks for the report, John. It sounds like some of Billy's chickens came home to roost and haunt him.

Although this was planned to be a charity event, and Billy was a sponsor, I really think his (Billy's) express consent should be obtained before displaying any of Boxer's pics. I would understand if Billy said no, if at Monty's "bash" the realization of his long-cultured reputation began to sink in.

Since there was no entrance fee, what (if anything) was contributed to Dr.Phillippe?

It's sad, but I think with proper thought this could have been a very successful promotion. Your post, John, on the now hidden-from-view thread about free drinks and snacks with a B200 entrance fee to be donated to Dr. Phillippe would have been well accepted IF it had been earlier, like right after you asked Billy publicly about the event. It wasn't, and from there the comments and dialogue rapidly went downhill. Too bad.

A Special Thank You to both Monty and Billy for the
nice evening of entertainment, free food snacks and drinks
during the soft opening of the NEW Monty's Enchanted Hut.

My Thai friend and I were greeted by Monty and many Expatriate friends
as we entered Monty's.

The new club is a comfortable venue with sofa and chair comfy seating and
a center stage risers for music and stage performances.

.

The sound is also pleasing to me as I could chat with friends and hear them too :-)

The musical trio who perform on stage for Monty are very talented - playing guitar,
flute, drums, mouth organ and the such...very distinctive and play Thai cultural themes of music
as well as popular great songs - in English and Thai...very relaxing and enjoyable.

The best of Monty's dance group from his old club are still with Monty doing
both traditional Thai dances to beautiful Thai music...such beauty - dancers & music :-)

And, the Isaan Music Dancer (Art) who was so popular at Monty's is back...
he does have some real natural talent, moves which are amazing to watch on stage,
and of course - his good looks too :-)

Their is a "dark room" in the back of the NEW Monty's Enchanted Hut!
Check it out...you may like what you find...

Monty's is open from 5:00pm in the afternoon daily - until early morning hours.

For those wishing to see the NEW Monty's Enchanted Hut, here are several photos I took ...
and Thanks again to Monty and Billy for the invitation to join you in your soft opening party.

As John Botting reported, NO donations were collected...The evening was FREE for all in attendance.

Well, so much for Billy's reputation of being a dwarf! LOL!

Well as I said on Tingtong's, my, what a handsome couple!

Oh, and Billy, did you get the old fella out?

I am happy to see the evening went off without any problems and that what Billy said held true. Good on ya Billy. Now why do you have to act like such an ass on here? Given the chance we may even like you.

Good,

Well done gents!

Yep, not your stereotypical Aussie surfer or athlete is he? He looks in the photos more like a down-and-out unemployed decorator complete with paint stained, seldom-washed t-shirt !

However, that said, good on him and Monty for organizing the event. I wonder how much (if anything) was raised for Dr Philippe ?

Thanks TJ for the photos.

They included one of the blackboard outside Monty's, presumably taken along with the others on the night of the event. It says that "All proceeds to Hearrt 2000". This may have encouraged some passers by to attend.

What proceeds were passed on to this charity?

Since everything was free and there were no donations made I guess the answer is nothing was passed on as nothing was collected.

Sorry Jon - Boxer was in Hong Kong for tests.

IF that's the actual case then both Monty and Billy should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves as the event was touted as a charity event for Dr Phillippe and the board outside clearly stated 'all proceeds to Hearrt 2000'.

Monty (or Billy) should quickly let all the forums on which they advertised know how much (if anything) was donated to charity.

But, if no statement is forthcoming, we can only assume that no donation was made. I suppose that is only to be expected as some Pattaya entrepreneurs will do or say almost anything to lure in extra customers to increase their takings and make a few extra Baht.

If you re-read the original post here it explains the sequence of events. No donations were requested so none collected. I think the whole idea just got out of their control and they did the best they could to make good on the free snacks and drinks. I guess we won't know who actually footed the bill for the evening. I have the feeling Monty carried the evening tho.

I've always assumed that Billy and aussieal are one and the same - and now I've got photographs to prove the Australian stereoytpe
