Buckwheat

Please keep the thread on topic and refrain from personal attacks on fellow members.

Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated.

Less than 3 weeks to go!

Just a reminder,

There are significant discounts on rooms at Friendship Beach for Thaivisa members only.

Send me a pm if you need a room. Only Thaivisa members in good standing are eligible for the party rates.

Thanks LivinLos, I'll bring it to their attention

It has been repaired

As long as speedos are left at home, I think everything else will be ok. I will wear my tutu, actually.

Several flaming posts have been removed.

Please stick to the subject at hand and refrain from personal attacks.

Further instances will warrant holidays.

We've had 4 hotel bookings at Friendship Beach already...don't wait until it's too late

Sounds like it'll be a good night, but why the post-count for admission?

Many people sign up to a forum and read but don't post much because the topics under discussion have been answered already or they just like to quietly read. I think the Member# or Join Date would be a better metric to decide who can attend such a party. Just my humble opinion.

I did have the privilege of tasting Buckwheat's extraordinarily delicious ribs at the Green Man last time around though!

Please see This post

Just a brief background,

The FREE parties are provided as a way to thank our contributing members for making Thaivisa what it is today.

The idea is to be a contributing member, not making 11 posts in 1 day.

But one thing I don't understand do I have to send 10 message to stay or sleep at frendshipbeach. Or do I have send 10 posts for the entrance? Anyway this is number 2

From the OP...

1) Only Thaivisa members with 10 or more posts prior to today, Thursday, 12 June 2008 will be permitted to attend.

Just for clarification.....

1) Only Thaivisa members with 5 or more posts prior to today, Saturday, 5 April 2008

will be permitted to attend.

Several posts that have evolved into personal attacks have been removed.

Please keep the discussion on topic and resist the temptation to flame fellow members.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

A guy is sitting at a bar in a skyscraper restaurant high above the city. He's slamming tequila left and right. He grabs one, drinks it, goes over to a window and jumps out. The guy who was sitting next to him couldn't believe that the guy had just done that. He was more surprised when, ten minutes later, the same guy, unscathed, comes walking back into the bar and sits back down next to him. The astonished guy asks "How did you do that? I just saw you jump out that window and we're hundreds of feet above the GROUND!". The jumper responds by slurring, "Well, I don't get it either. I slam a shot of tequila and when I jump out the window, the tequila makes me slow down right before I hit the ground. Watch." He takes a shot, slams it down, goes to the window and jumps out. The other guy runs to the window and watches as the guy falls until right before the ground, slows down and lands softly on his feet. A few minutes later, the guy walks back into the bar. The other guy has to try it too, so he orders a shot of tequila. He drinks it and goes to the window and jumps. As he reaches the bottom, he doesn't slow down at all...SPLAT! The first guy orders another shot of tequila and the bartender says to him, "You're really an asshol_e when you're drunk, Superman."

Best beans I ever had

(CB bribed me to say this)

Just don't say it to Buckwheat - he hates my baked beans - not sweet enough and too spicy.

Is one allowed to say here that Buckwheat is out of his mind?

You never asked for permission before....

Thanks to everyone for their participation at the best party to date.

The final count was 131 members and guests.

Please start bugging Chas to schedule the next one!

In response to several questions, the 5 post qualification was posted 2 months ago when the party thread was initiated and will be enforced.

This is done in fairness to all contributing members as well as the owner of Tuskers.

So the only 2 qualifications for entry is a valid login and 5 posts prior to 10 March, 2008. If you meet those qualifications, you are most welcome.

Thanks for your understanding.

Just a thought, it looks like quite a few members that were planning on attending before the date change won't be able to go now. And I am sure there will be members showing up on Saturday who didn't get the memo. That leaves spots open for members that may not have met the required ammount of posts. Just seems a bit unfair with the current situation to turn away members that would otherwise want to join us. Who knows, there may be another BB or UG out there but we may never know........

BTW, if the Pattaya boys are not all coming up we are going to have lots of extra beer and food, I am sure we can finish the beer but what about all the extra food?

To put it all in perspective, the free parties are a way for Thaivisa to say "thank you" to the members who made the webste what it is today. It is not a membership drive but rather an acknowledgement of the contributing members and we have seen in the past 6 parties the "1 post wonders" who join for a free party, never to be heard from again until the next party.

It is not fair to the frequent or consistant posters that we allow just anyone to attend and we believe that a successful login and a 5 post minimum effective 10 March is not too much to ask for a "meet and greet", free food and free drinks.

I hope this clarifies our position, and for those who don't meet the minimum qualifications this time, we hope you will remain an active member of Thaivisa and we hope to see you at the next party.

Is there a way to check the number of posts before March 10th in advance? I know I am over 5 today, but have no idea if I was on March 10th. I would be utterly shamed to show up and be turned away! thanks.

You had 4 posts prior to March 10th.

Your 5th was made the day after the party announcement.

Would all of you that are responding to this thread PLEASE contact your mates that you know were coming and tell them of the date change too?

Some members don't check the board daily.

Thanks!

Yup, still on.

I hear Rasseru has offered to buy a round of tequila for all punters who are still there at midnight.....

That shouldn't be any problem. At the last party, everyone who was still there at midnight was passed out anyway

Try Project Supplies Direct

Good prices and a good owner plus he's been a Thaivisa member for a awhile!

He's also sponsoring the new Chiang Mai sub forum.

Great suggestion by the OP and the first upcoming event that you can review is this one

Make your own. If you dont need the double decker, just use the lower half of the top for your charcoal.
