Our friend June took us to a gigantic German brewery in the middle of Thailand *AJ we will take you there.
Imagine the Paramount Theater, but with tables and chairs instead of just rows of seats. Then, put the craziest, loudest, vaudeville/talent/entertainment show on the stage while everyone (yes, all ages) is chugging 3 liter pitchers of beer and eating the hottest Thai food, and strangest German food on the planet. AWESOME! Honestly, the place was huge! It probably fit 4 thousand guests. The show was awesome, great singing, great lip syncing, cute girls dressed up like bunnies dancing to Lady Gaga in giant clock's hung from the ceiiling, ripped dudes dancing around them straight out of the movie Burlesque (which as a matter of fact, we saw here. Me and Chelsea have been watching a lot of movies here to escape the heat, not to mention it is a better deal, and way more fun to go to VIP movies!)
The German food - Pork Leg with what seemed like Kraut and Mashed Potatoes (with red Thai chili's on top of them). Potatoes? Horrible! All the Thai people loved them. Actually, they were not that bad but they were loaded with sugar. Sourkrout? Just weird. Fried Pork Leg? Way, way, way too tasty to be associated with traditional German food.
The acts were great, especially the real singer and the live bands. They really put on a great show, and held the total attention of the audience. Smooth transitions between numbers, good MC's. My favorite part was between songs the MC's would call out the name of a song, then pull random people up on stage in front of 4000 screaming crazy drunken people and make them sing it. If they could do it, they would win a big prize - money, vacations, a new car, etc. Really funny. A Thai singer laid out some Whitney Houston and killed it. Best Thai musician I have seen yet! Throughout all the comedy acts me and Chelsea would just laugh along, although we had no idea what they were saying. If the four thousand laughing Thai's didn't clue you in on when to laugh, they play the stupidest sound after every joke. BBOOOOIIIINNNNGGGG!
Oh, and the Thai version of Happy Birthday - "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy biiirthdayyyy to you. Happy birthday to YOU!"
Loved it.
Check out the website for this place. Really glad we have a lot of local Thai friends to take us around, we never would have found this place on our own! Who would have googled German Brewery, Bangkok Thailand?

What a small world! Sorry I didn't reply sooner. We don't have regular internet access because we are staying far outside of town. What have you done here?! We went to Hellfire Museum, the bridge over the River Kwai, and to Erawan waterfall last week. This week we rode elephants. I also hear the tiger temple is cool. I hope you enjoy your time here!
