THAI EVENT

Nagoya City at night from the Twin Towers Marriott Hotel, where That Airways International held their farewell & welcome party for the Nagoya and Central Districts General Manager. I was the MC for the event, as well as producer for the official changeover ceremony...
The GM position changeover was based on an old Samurai tradition, so we dressed the outgoing and incoming GM's in Samurai garb, and had them flanked by 2 armored samurai each
Using 150 year old ceremonial sake dishes from my private collection, the GM's exchanged words and positions, before leading the samurai and all members of the audience in the samurai war cry to bring good fortune to Thai Airways.
The outgoing GM, my friend Mr Athivat has been posted to Melbourne, Australia. He's done well over the past 5 years in Nagoya, and I'm sure he'll do well in Oz too!
