THE BigChilli kicked off the holidays in style with a silly season soirée fittingly entitled Santa Prom. Like our spookily brilliant Halloween event, Zombie Prom, the shindig was held at The Overground Bar & Cafe, Sukhumvit 22, where around 150 revellers enjoyed a night of dancing to the eclectic blend of indie, soul, reggae and festive cheese spun by DJs Stuie, Soul Rebel, and Stargazer. Guests in festive dress had the opportunity to win some fabulous prizes, including a B2,000 voucher at gourmet food store Food Glorious Food (foodglorious-food.com), two bottles of the new fragrance by Thai celebrity Praya Lundberg (courtesy of Bel Perfumes. belperfumes.com), and some delightful earrings from Boonthip Jewelry (boonthipjewelry.com). Big thanks to all involved for making it such a great night! (Photos by Stuie Matthew)
