Elvis celebrates 5 birthdays

Well, we all have to have them – birthdays that is, and for one Pattaya celebrity – Colin (Elvis) de Jong – he went one better than most last Sunday, when he put on a bash to celebrate 5 birthdays at his home in East Pattaya.  Four of the birthdays fell on the 4th March. First off the list was the birthday of Colin’s youngest daughter Priscilla, turning the ripe old age of 2.  Then Colin’s granddaughter Jin was celebrating her 4th year back in Holland.  Also born on the 4th was Colin’s sister Carla, who came all the way from Holland to celebrate her 56th birthday with her older brother here in Pattaya.  Colin’s son Elvis Junior will be turning 7 on the 19th , but didn’t mind sharing the occasion with his dad and family.   Then of course, it was the birthday of Colin himself, turning 64 years young.   There was lots of great food including a suckling pig, Thai and Dutch delicacies to savor, and live music presented by Frankie Sinatra Jim and Dutch singer Gerbrand, as well as a few songs from the King of Rock a nd Roll – Elvis - Colin de Jong!
