BBQ at Mermaids Jomtien

The Mermaids BBQ on Wednesday 15th April was a night to celebrate. The Songkran Festival has started with lots of people getting wet during the day underwater and then on dry land as well. Everyone is looking forward to the 19th which is the main celebration day but all are getting lots of practise in now.

Everyone was also recovering from having the US Navy diving and doing courses with us the weekend before, what a great event, 100’s of people coming through the doors each morning for 3 days! Lots of American friends were made and a pity they weren’t in town long enough to join us for our BBQ.

Joining us for their first Mermaids BBQ are Kristina Kirk, Travis Mamone , Hannah Hughes and Sam Beer and Ivan Ivanushkin. Welcome to Mermaids guys and getting through the last week and for getting so involved in everything.

Naomi made a guest appearance, good to see you again and Mike was still celebrating the birth of Baby Jordan. We still haven’t managed to find out who the mysterious BBQ eater is, he or she have kept a low profile but we are sure they will be revealed one day. However, check out the photos and see who the most likely suspect would be!

Thanks to everyone who helped out on the evening, our chef Vlad who almost set the place on fire and had everyone running for the extinguishers, he did blame it on the sausages this time but the jury is still in on that one. Thanks as usual to everyone who made the salads etc, and of course a big thank you to everyone for attending and taking part with the US Navy.

Join us at any time for the BBQ, it is open to all divers in the area and all dates for 2009 are posted on the site.
