I was bit Depress these pass a couple of weeks and haven't done much. But a few days ago my friend told me about the Smiley Ska Festival and she told me that The Skatalites was playing so I was down to go there. Before that Friday night (December 18th) I was invited to a rave party that was organized by Smirnoff I got totally wasted with them free vodka cocktails they had there. So the next day had a total bad hang over and wasn't planning to head to Pattaya for the SKA festival, But a few hours spending time in my room I got bored and decide to go, I packed my camera bag and I was off to the bus station even though its was 4:30pm. Got to Pattaya by 7pm called my friend and she hooked me up with a stage pass when I got in Prince Fatty was playing then I was shock to hear Tribal War and I was like that's Little Roy's song, I ran to the stage and there he was Little Roy I never knew he was part of Prince Fatty's Band, then I started taking pics all night long.
First things first have to show these pics because it an honor to have photos with the Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae Legends.

One thing more to add I gotta give thanks to the People who hooked me up there P-Gap of T-Bone band and Prakaew for hooking me up with the Stage Pass, Michelle for letting me stay for a few hours in her hotel room... Thank you so much!!!
