BKKRICK

I came across the Australians in Thailand (AIT) club on the Australian Consulate website. They are based in Bangkok apparently, and have 80 members.

I Had a look at their website. Looks like it may be something I would be interested in joining so as to meet fellow Aussies. I see that they have an Australian Day Gala dinner coming up at some swish hotel on Australian Day, but at 3000baht, it is way to expensive for me.

Has anyone had any experience with AIT, are all their meeting events so highly priced? If so, this would definately put me off.

If anyone has any feedback, would be greatful?

Only In Thailand.

I haven't really been in Thailand long enough to comment on the police, but I have sure read some pretty disturbing stories. I guess one advantage (for the police anyway) is that it would be a good disguise when they are taking your money.

Well I gave Bradmans a go a few nights back. Had a great time, met some very interesting people.

Who know's? Might even make it my regular ...

Thanks again for all the recommendations ....

Thanks Guy's, I didn't think I would get such a large response. Will definitely try and check all of those bar out - Hopefully starting tonight. Just looking for a bar where I can relax and chat with some local expats.

Had a bad experience last night, got my bill, had bought a few drinks for a couple of ladies. Was trying to keep a running tally, was expecting it to be no more than 800 baht max, got stung for 3000 baht. When I arked up they got a bit aggressive, so just paid - lesson learnt.

Hi There,

Have been in Bangkok for a couple of weeks now. Absolutely love the place, and am planning on staying for a few months at least. Well, at least until my money runs out.

I have been introduced to Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy, and I am certain that I have spent far too much money on Bangkok's addictive nightlife already.

Well, time to slow down a bit. Would like to find some bars in Bangkok where fellow Aussie expats hang out. Maybe there aren't any, but if there are, can someone please let me know.

Many thanks in advance ......
