The adventures of Pontus Karlsson

I arrived in Bangkok for the Crooked Tongues BBQ early in the morning the day of the party and suffered from a hard case of jet lag. After a 6 hour nap, I met up with the boys from Crooked Tongues and Ben from Adidas to go to the BBQ at 100 Rajdamri, inside the The Royal Bangkok Sports Club. It offers two good restaurants, a nice bar and an oudoors lounge area. The influences from streethorsing are obvious. One of the restaurants is called Trot Bar and the other one is an Italian restaurant called Fallabella, which name is derived from Falabella - a rare breed of miniature horses. The servers are all wearing equestrian outfits.

First thing when we arrived to the venue was getting the VIP band put on.
I also managed to get the red band intended for the underaged.

After a few Singhas, it was time for me and Ben to get a complimentary foot massage.

The CT crew had designed a bunch of sneakers specially for the event.
Here’s the Adidas x CT BKK BBQ Superskate.

Going to the Crooked Tongues BBQ party in Bangkok on Sunday.
Lots of great photos and stories guaranteed.
Don’t miss the report early next week when I’ve recovered.

On my way over to my buddy Streamcreek for a treat with him and the Jens before moving to Asia. Will report later.

I’m not exactly the protégé of Ryan Galfando, but I do enjoy streethorsing occasionally. This time in Harajuku, Tokyo in conjunction with the photo exhibition and worldwide release of book “Horse Play - A Streethorsing Retrospective”

When you feed a horse using your hand it’s important that you keep your hand wide open, otherwise the horse might mistake your fingers for carrots.
