On 5th May 1862 in the state of Puebla, Mexican troops defeated the French in an unlikely result.

 

 

 

Since then 'Cinco de Mayo' has been a special day for Mexicans and is celebrated with parties across the country as a sign of Mexico's heritage and pride.

 

 

 

Thailand Friends is having a Mexican Party at Charley Brown's - Bangkok's oldest Mexican restaurant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Special offers include 500 baht all you can eat fajitas (see picture below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus buy 2 Coronas, get one free...

 

 

 

 

 

 

We'll be smashing Pinatas - beautifully made by Manee from TF

 

 

 

       

 

 

 

And of course, eating the best Mexican Food in town.... (and drinking tequila)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So if you're Mexican... or a TF member... or like Mexican food... or like Margaritas... or you want to laugh at the French... or you're French and want to show there are no hard feelings...

 

 

 

...join us on 5th May at Charley Brown's on Sukhumvit Soi 11.

Mouth is watering...see you then!

why the f**k could the french not have lost to the mexicans on a weekend !!! inconsiderate bastards !!!

damn... those appetizers look good

ahhhh....food! makes me more hungry now! i should not miss this....

hey isn't this advertising? ;-)

ah who cares ... charley browns is awesome, bring it on

Yep - blatant... but Admin set up the event and Rob invited me to write a journal.

And I've done worse in the past...

I'll let him do *almost* anything for free beer...

I even added in a "Sign up here" link for good measure.

Wow amigo! This looks too damn good to pass up! In fact, it will be the first TF party that I've ever attended. This ultra-attractive fiesta is only missiing chips, salsa and queso. I'm sure Jose Cuervo will make me more than comfortable without them though hahahaha

hmm that food does look pretty good...

The photo of nachos makes me hungry, but also reminds me. I was in a hotel in the UK a couple of years back and went into the restaurant. On the menu was 'nacho salad'. WOW I thought - nachos (not realizing I was in the UK). Not too much later they brought out the nacho salad. It was a plate of lettuce (salad) with some nacho chips on top. Live and Learn...

In the southern states it's a statement of who doesn't own it.

"Hey, that's nacho salad. That's MY salad!"

O O O Your food pics make me hungry already..Can I go there a little earlier?

PS. Manee's Nemo is just adorable..How big it is? I'd love to buy one for my niece...

Manee has her own Facebook page

She sells them all over Bangkok.

She once made 2 HUGE pinatas for me to my exact specifications and they were perfect...

I love like Mexican food ( Salsa a lot ) and Margaritas so much.. Love to dance also. Can I join? Day time or night time?

From 5pm... most people seem to be coming between 7-8pm.
