On Aug. 3, hundreds gathered at the grand ballroom of Bangkok’s Asia Hotel to commemorate the death of a Elvis Presley with the 30th Elvis Presley Memory Lives on 2007 concert. The event featured a number of Asian and Thai Elvis impersonators, some of which dressed like the King in his early days, and some opting to emulate him in his later, more robust years. The Asia Hotel has hosted the event since 1997. "This is close to my 10th year in Bangkok impersonating Elvis," said Rudy Souza, an Elvis impersonator from Macau who currently works in Macau’s hotel and casino industry. "Although Elvis Presley’s death was unbelievable, I feel as though I am reviving his legacy whenever I impersonate."
