Hello everyone!

I'm going to continue my story from from 2 weekends ago, skip the weekday, because that was all full of rest and recovery from hangovers and exhaustion, and continue to this past weekend where me and my friends had organized a boat party and performed before a Reggae and Dancehall legend, Skarra Mucci!

Yes! Count that! I had 2 parties to DJ back to back this past Saturday! It was loads of fun, and there are a lot of pictures to share with you, so hold on to your seats and I'll take you on my voyage!

My friend Tom aka DJ Home of Vibe Sound System (UK).

The party boat! (Normally a dinner boat, but we remove some tables and make it a party boat).

So as I mentioned in my previous post, this is our 5th boat party we had together. The 1st being in a beach town, Pattaya, about a 3 hour drive from Bangkok, in a yacht, but we were too exhausted. The 2nd boat was closer in town of Bangkok on the famous Chao Phraya river, a much cheaper and convenient option, and it is here where we kept our parties constant (for the meantime). The 3rd boat is where the numbers in attendance of our good supporters and music lovers. We were only allowed 45 on board and we had 60! The 4th boat, we reached a capacity of 70+ and the boat was sinking! The captain said we had to move to the bigger boat, which was a far better option! So much more room to move around and manage drink ticket sales, and we had better speakers! We had sub woofers!

With Klynton aka Digital Bandit of Vibe Sound System (UK), the organizer of the Sunset Vibes boat parties.

So we're on the 5th installment of the Sunset Vibes boat party, and this time we had 90+ people on board. The numbers are growing, and mostly organically, by word of mouth. The weather was great, people started to arrive at the last minute, as usual, but we were all in good spirits! DJ Home started to play some easy Roots Reggae tunes and people were starting to drink and dance.

It came to sunset and it was time for me to get on the decks to rock the crowd! Every time I do one of these boat parties, I try to play a different heavy bass driven genre (Jungle, Dubstep, Dancehall) each time. This time, I decided to play some bass-heavy electronic Hip Hop like 20syl.
The crowd loved it! They were dancing and rapping along to the more popular songs. A few people came over to tell me I did a good set, and "Thank you for playing Hip Hop!"

Check out some short videos during my set here and here.

With U-Key, our usual emcee (unavailable for Sunset Vibes #5)

So the night went on with our guest, DJ Oz from flying in from the UK, playing some Drum and Bass. People were getting more drunk and drunkerer. Vibes were nice, and the boat made a short detour to pick up another surprise guest, the Dancehall President, Skarra Mucci! He got on decks and toasted the mic a little bit, a really humbling experience, and he got me dancing so much, to the demise of my alcohol-riddled brain.

The core Sunset Vibes crew, including DJs, emcee, chef, and friends.

We arrived back to the dock where we picked up Skarra Mucci, and it was my stop as well, because I was also supposed to open up for him at The Overstay. The opening band were Jonathan and Calvin, a local Reggae, and Raggamuffin group consisting of a live beat-maker, a drummer, and my friend Judean Kong, the emcee. Also featured was Tony Rankin, and expat Reggae singer, now based in Pattaya, Thailand, and also U-Key, who was missing from the boat (wearing a face mask because he wasn't feeling well). U-Key was also DJing after me.

Next, after a few more DJs played some tunes, it was the moment we had all been waiting for, Skarra Mucci's performance!
His DJ, a French national, Selecta Inity, was a very nice and humble guy, and he brought the energy for Skarra to bring the energy to us! I was so wasted already, but I was standing in the front and shouting out the lyrics, maybe I annoyed him a little :p

Skarra Mucci doing his thing! Spot me in the red cap!

The Dancehall President. Much respect!

It was a very looooong but eventful day. So much fun, and being able to connect with everyone is definitely priceless. It's these people that I meet, that assures me that anywhere in the world, I can have a roof over my head, if I looked far enough. I live a little bit outside of the city, so being able to see familiar faces at our events is really a treasure for me. I look forward to the next boat party, but tomorrow, if you're in town, we have a party planned with some of the Sunset Vibes DJs at Whiteline in Silom.

Tomorrow night! Come through!

So, to summarize, as I have been going through Steemit these past two weeks, I initially wanted to make this a travel blog about my experiences in Thailand as a barista, a teacher, and a DJ, but then I realized that there is so much more I can write about and share, such as the Steemit #recordpool Song of the Day, and the exciting events that happen ever so often. I look forward to sharing more stories with you, and I hope you can help support, follow, upvote, comment, and whatever you have to do. I promise to do the same!

Part 2 of my Adventures in Thailand continues tomorrow, so stay tuned!

One Love always!
