The American Chamber of Commerce and U.S. Embassy held a 4th of July celebration at the KIS International School yesterday. All U.S citizens and their guests were invited. Most of the ex-pats from our office went.
To get there I had to take the MRT which is the subway system here in Bangkok (as opposed to the skytrain or BTS). I got on at Sukhumvit station and got off at Huai Khwang about 4 stops away where shuttle vans took us to the school.

The school is a large private English language school and was situated in a very upscale neighborhood – lots of large posh houses nearby. It took about an hour to get from my apartment to the school where the festivities were being held.
Most of the activities were held outdoors, but they set up big tents which is where I found the DST/Bangkok ex-pats sitting. Jon, Lisa, Wayne, and Bee were at one of the tents so I pulled a chair and settled in. I think there must have been around 200 people there – mostly Americans as you would expect.
There was plenty of American food, including BBQ, fried chicken, ice cream, etc. The heavy duty beer drinkers in our group were delighted to find Coors Light. They drank a lot of it. I was on my better behavior and only had two beers, but did eat delicious fried chicken and some excellent apple pie.
There were games including an egg toss but we mostly sat and ate. All in all it was a very nice time. Afterwards we hailed a cab and went back to the MRT station and then back home.
