Bangkok Podcast 50: Our 50th Show!
It was in May 2010 that Tony and Greg put up the first episode of the Bangkok Podcast, and it’s been a fun, interesting (and sometimes frustrating) year. This episode marks the 50th weekly show for the Bangkok Podcast, and to celebrate we thought’d we take a look back at the topics we’ve covered in the past 50 weeks by updating you on what our past interview guests have been up to; where the important issues we discuss have ended up; and how some of the interesting developments that have taken place in Thailand have affected Tony, Greg, and the people they know.
From Scientology to bird crap, beaches to heart attacks, and boobies to weddings, we give you the lowdown on what the past year has shown us.
Also don’t forget to join us on MAY 15 to celebrate our birthday at Q BAR. Thanks to their generous support, a 500 baht cover gets you free flow drinks from 8-10pm. Spend the night at Bangkok’s hippest night club (in the swanky, upstairs lounge, natch) with all who have made Bangkok Podcast such a success over the past year!

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the shout out on the podcast but I am lawyering back in New York City now. Still love listening in to BangkokPodcast to get my Bangkok news and hearing about your travels in and about SE Asia. If you have any visa, immigration, business set-up questions feel free to email me and I can connect you with some of the good people I know still working there.
