Thank keng

nice to know meet u also.
but now I'm just comback from Aus but I expect to go there( Have to work and correct money as well) maybe next year Iwill be there.

However enjoy ur day&have a good time in Sydney .

hi Vammy, nice to see a new person - don't worry about your english, and cool that you like Asian songs - there is no law what songs you should like - whatever makes you happy is good. Where are you from?

 I am a psytrance addict and I don't like anything pop (asian or falang) but I do also like pleng peue chiwid and luk tung for relaxing    and i like french love songs, and Indian songs, and Irish songs and classical music and old 60s music and lots of other stuff as well.

hi Muk!!  how old were you when you moved back here? did you find it a shock? did you adjust quickly? my best friend (Thai) will be coming back here soon from Australia with her daughter (luuk krung). Her daughter went to Australia when she was 5, now she's 11/12, and she really doesn't want to come back - she thinks bangkok is smelly and hot, doesn't understand Thai manners, speaks thai like a falang, can't read or write thai,  is 100% like a falang kid.. Any suggestions on what we can do to make her feel at home here more quickly?

I think its more difficult for girls to come back to Thailand after staying abroad than for guys. For guys, they have the same freedom here or overseas. Girls here have to be so super polite, take care what they wear, can't smoke cigarettes, can't disagree with older people. Agree or disagree?

Totally agreed !

I think I know what she thinks .I had some of my friends like that when we were kids (Ozzi-Thai) .She is just one girl who has grown up there and just gets used to
the lifestyles there  .we can't change her (sorry )

,but if you want her to get here (more quickly) .You can try to give her some info about Siam Square ,Center Point ,Paragon ,etc .(some luxuries stuff)
and I bet they live in Sydney for sure .I prefer to live in Thailand more than Australia .Thailand is better by far (I'm not talking about transportations)
(I've compared life in Thailand and Australia already ,but teens always love lifestyles in Australia definitely (for some time ))
 
Bangkok now has changed ,people,teens,fashions,lifestyles,or Black eye pea live in Bkk soon (she may love hip hop),These are my ways to drag her here .

So...let us (me) know how's it going .

Good luck na ja .

hi jingjok!! i moved back when i was like 12 or something.  at first i gota admit that i didnt really like it.  i just hated the hot humid weather, mosquitoes and the bad traffic.so bad.  apart from that i just find it really annoyin when thai ppl get so nosy sometimes but i mean as time pass by, i just got use to it.  i starting having more thai friends from school and then somehow tried to adjust and learn the norms of the thai society.  so later on, i actulaly fell in love with bkk but there are times which i still miz la though. 

as for your daughter's friend.. i guess you could maybe start off by askin her wat she likes to do and go to and maybe  take her out to thoses kinda places and if possible, try to drag some thai friends along or kids around her age  so she doesnt get homesick or lonely.. ..

about wat u said above about the two different genders, i kinda agree.  its true how girls have to be more super careful with their behaviors and attitude than compared to guys in bkk (which sucks) but to me  i think it's just best to just be yourself  but make sure at the same time u also try to stick and be aware to the norms of the thai ppl and know when to or not to behave a certain manner at a certain situation or time or else you'll engage in more culture shock which i think everyone out there may not like hehe

anyways nice to know u 

Hi guys,
The name's "G", I've been here quite a while [on Upkajuy.com] but don't usually post much since most of the members here are much more advanced in terms of trance appreciation than I am. So I usually check in every once in a while to catch up on the latest happenings, and releases ... just so that I'm not too out of sync with the trance scene when it's time to party 

I'm 31 (so the OP is not that old, besides age is just an arbitrary number) and it's been 16 years since I moved to BKK from NYC. Thailand's been a blast; the language is fu&%ing hard to learn, but now that that's passed, it's just the traffic and the damn heat/humidity that bothers me.

The Narc is my club of choice, though I don't go as often as I used to (comes with having to work for a living unfortunately), but whenever there's a DJ or during the festivities i.e. New Years '08, I make sure that I stop by to recharge my trance vibes; I'm a verified trance addict (besides other things).

Not sure if anyone else, or the OP for that matter, feels the same way, but I find that I'm able to "connect" to older trance tunes more than the newer release i.e. tunes between 2001 - 2003. Maybe it's because those tunes bring back fond memories of long nights (IIRC a 2am closing time was unheard of back then) and non-stop gyrating to the trance anthems ... god I miss those days.

Anyway, that's me. Lookin' forward to New Years 2008. Wishing everyone on Upkajuy all the best during this holiday season.

Cheers,

G

hey there

for me, i still LOVE my old psytrance tracks from the 90's - there is some great new stuff out there, but there's so much crap floating around, its hard to find the decent stuff... At the moment I'm listening to all my old stuff from 97-99 - I guess its also the memories that make it so good - outdoors parties with people going NUTS!!! Ah, the good old days 

If you like trance, check out Ezze in RCA on Friday nights, cheaper than Narc, and much friendlier crowd 

I've known about Ezze like forever, but can never seem to find/make the time to drop by. Then a big holiday/event comes along and before I know it I'm at the Narc again. Mental note: gotta give Ezze a try before year's end; save Narcissus for New Year's Eve. BTW, who's spinnin' at the Narc this year? It's been kinda quiet so I'm pretty much clueless.

I agree, it's not just the tunes but the accompanying memories that really makes those tunes memorable. Pretty much the same as, "It's not the place but rather the companion/friend/crowd that really makes a party special".

Well..Let me jump in here and introduce my newbie self.  My name is Jeff.  I'm Thai. 
Born and bred in NYC. Well..actually I've been back and forth between Thailand
and NYC with the longest stretch being in NYC for 15+ years.  Now back in Thailand
for good.  I'm sorry to admit that I'm a trance addict :-) Got my first doses of
Trance in clubs likes The Tunnel, Roxy, and in one of my favorite in NYC, Twilo.
That was a while back, but, still in love with trance.  Now I mostly hangs out
when ever there's a special guess DJs, in the likes of Andy Moor, John Fleming,
PVD, Oakie, Tiesto, and most recently Culture One.  I don't have a club that
I regularly hangs out, but seems to find myself going quite alot to Club Culture.

So there you go...a bit about me....

P.S.   GO GIANTS.   eh he   

Hi Jeff
I've been to NYC many times and I'm curious if Avalon still there?
It looks like a church but when you get inside....OMG!......can't believe that they renovated and decorated most of the things to be a CLUB.
Not sure whether the name of the place has been changed or not. But it's the only club in NYC  that I used to go.

BTW

My name is Hui....or u can call me Peter or whatever u want.
I'm thais. Fortunately I had a chance to study aboard...in D.C. for 3 years.
Now I'm back for good and have a full-time job which has nothing to do with music or my interests...that's kinda sad but it's challence tho.
Oop! Time for bed now.....good night and sleep tight everyone     

he he he ...in Sydney we have one church (used to be) but now its still a church anyway (architectural design outside)
there are 5 areas for 5 different kinds of music .always on Sunday ,starts from 12 am till 12 pm so it's been called "Sounds on Sunday"




 

Hey Peter..

Nice to meet you.....well I've been in Thailand for almost 5 years now so I'm
not sure if Avalon is still there.  The club is probably still there but maybe they
changed name again..? Dun know.  Avalon used to be known as The Limelight
and it was "Theee Club", back then.  Yeah from the look of it from the
outside it's dark and church like, but once you get inside..man.. totally different.
The deeper you walk further inside the harder you can feel the bass pumping..
...man....n i c e....     

Hi. Everybody well i would like to descript myself for easy way to take you to my heart. i'm graduated student in the faculty of science and the major is chemical technology ( i's been easily offended that we study engineering but lie on science). So far from addicted routine in my laboratory i'm following a craze in games online and all of the music well. Oh! forget to introduce myself my name is Ball Thank you very much upkajuy for give me the way to open my non-stop opinion and nice to meet all of you in this board.
see you around.

Hello all,
I just saw this topic so need to start with saying Hi to you all "Sa-Was-Dee-Krub" 
May I introduce myself. I'm not a DJ, just try to be. I started my music path with joining the Symphony Band in Trumpet team.
Then I changed to Live Band in Drums part, but i also play Guitar, Bass and Piano too. a.k.a. Multi-Function ( p.s. i'm not good in anything.. hahaha )
I usually like Rock - Pop - Funk and Acoustic Music until last year, i had a chance to listen to Trance Music then i realized that it's very interesting and how could i miss it for many years... oiii..
Now i try to make myself more familiar with every kind of electronic music especially Trance Music and try to learn more about DJ path and also learn more about computer music creation as well.
Recently, i search about Trance music in Thailand via Google and Google leads me to Upkajuy... so that's why i'm here.
It's very great for me to know this webboard and i'm a new member here, if there is anything i need to know pls advise me duay na kab.. hehehe

Thanks and Nice to meet you all.
Meaw
