Me. I'm working about an hour west of the city center. Will probably come into the city for an overnighter on Saturday and then head out to the park on Sunday. I think the Southwest line train stop is Clapham Junction, followed by a bus, taxi or walk to the park.

If you and some others are planning to come in, then perhaps we could get together for a mini-TVF piss-up on Saturday. I've got an "in" with an upscale hotel chain and might be able to give you a nice hook-up on Saturday night (e.g., trade you a free night for a couple of beers). Shoot me a PM and we can chat some more.

Yep ...The thai songkraan and Loy Kratong food festivals here in Sydney ,also seem to bring out the furtive old sex tourists looking for a perve.

I'm guessing there's going to be some Thai women there as well as Thai food? Sounds interesting? :o

And after that comment, gazillions of dodgy punters looking for said women are also to be expected.

:D

There must be overseas Thai students studying in England who are single and wanting a taste of home?

Anyway, back on subject, is the Thai food there authentic tasting? :o

I'm told many of the Thai restaurants in the greater London area (75+?) will have food tents. I missed the one last year, but did go to the smaller Anglo-Thai festival at Morden just a couple of weeks prior. I found the food to be excellent authentic Thai, and not the 'dummied-down" stuff that is often seen in restaurants to suit the regular clientele.

I'm not going for the food.

Toster owes me a beer and I want to see what Spee looks like.

That said, I will stock up one the one Thai food I am missing like mad.

TYG flavour packet noodles, surely there will be a mini mart thingy there where i can purchase some. :o

I'll be there as usual - Wifey is playing the Kim and doing some of the Thai dancing. Its always a good crack and always hot. I've been going for years. The crowds are getting bigger each year.

Shall we all wear a red carnation or something then? :o

How about a placard hanging round our necks with our TV names written on in bright red crayon?

Cheers Jack! I was hoping there would be something like that over here. :D

I think we should definatly have a meet up, but when? Towards the end of the festival maybe, is there a beer garden there or anything?

I'll start a fresh post on this a bit nearer the time if we have enough interest.

How delightfully tacky ! :D (just kidding)

By all means, count me in.

Who wants to be the PM coordinator?

oops, did I just volunteer ?? :D

This might be a good place for TV to do a bit of advertising, considering the clientele that will be present. T-shirts etc with website address might bring a new generation to these hallowed airwaves.

IMo of course.

I agree, how about a ThaiVisa stall with a big blue, white and yellow logo?

Chonabot and I could sign mugs and T-Shirts. :D

This was my 2000th post, wahey!

There's usually a beer tent (there were 2 last year) - and a Thai wine stall. However, there are a lot of poeple there - I fear just "bumping into each other" is unlikely. The carnation/placard was obviously a joke, but we may need a less-tacky way of recognising each other. Ideas?

PS: Saying "I'm the fat git with fake Ray Bans and a Thai girl in tow" probably won't help too much on this occassion :o
