[saorsa]

...not only that if I remember well...

Oi!!  Just because on  my first night out with TV folk in ptya i was getting whipped on stage by some nice looking girlies....doesnt make me a bad person...just a bit of a perv!

[dotcom]

Just want to put my avatar up for polecat. From one polecat to another.

[mrtoad]

If I'm not in Manila on that date then I'll be there. I need a night out after the last couple of weeks.

Is the "Huntsman" actually inside the Landmark or just in the vicinity?

Yes, in the basement level.

Sounds good to me, however, maybe a lttle more info. for those who are not familiar with that area of Bkk.

Entertainment? Drink prices? Ambience? All good to go? Map for those who might feel like coming but don't know where the Landmark is?

Thanx James.

The Huntsman - Basement Level - The Landmark Hotel, next to the BTS at NANA. Though negotiations are still under way , this is what their Marketing Director first proposed...

we have a double Happy Hour on both food and drinks from 3-9pm everyday. Our Happy Hour on drinks is Buy 1 Get 1 Free on local draught beers/bottles, wines, cocktails and spirits. During this period we also have a discounted food menu with prices starting from 95 baht.

From 9pm we will also have Live music from our excellent resident band Sweet Inspiration until 1am

Hi there,

Just a quick question. Whats the age group of peoples meeting up, its not over 60s is it?

-Sean

[theoldgit]

There is usually a wide age range attending these get togethers, though my members name gives me away I'm afraid.

[bkkjames]

Hi there,

-Sean

Despite certain poster's screen-names, for the most part we are 25-40 I would guess, but if Thithi comes and brings along her groupies and gf's, the average age will come down a bit.

Anyways Sean, you have something against senior citizens mate? You will be one someday

[thithi]

hahah jamies i thought u r one of the senior citizens no?

If I go there, can you change the pissup event name to be... Thithi's Birthday Piss-up?

[soundman]

Thai Visa has a wide demographic of members, and in past functions, there have been people from ages 20 - 70 attend, from all sorts of different backgrounds, nationalities.

All are welcome.

Always good fun.

[jfchandler]

Huntsman has three different kinds of seating configurations, if I recall correctly.

1. a rectangular central bar-tending area ringed by bar stools.

2. upholstered booths sized to accommodate 4 or 6 around the perimeter walls.

and 3. loose and moveable/arrangeable tables in between 1 and 2..., which would seem to fit best for accommodating any larger groups of folks.

In general, the Huntsman Pub is a very comfortable and low-key place for dining and drinking, and the Filipino band that's permanently stationed there serves up a good evening of mostly pop and mainstream farang hit songs.

Though without their Happy Hour specials or any other special accommodation, an evening of serious drinking at the Huntsman gets to be a bit pricey because the pub is still part of the rather pricey Landmark Hotel.

They've been running/advertising the regular Happy Hour specials for quite some time. But the mention above about the 2-for-1 Jack Daniels bottles and glasses (24/7) is one I've not heard of or seen advertised by them before.

ok...i should be there...i will be the one that turns up already drunk since meeting new people makes me nervous and i am such a shy and retiring type.....

[paquito]

80% chance that I'll be in BKK that day. If so, I'll be there.

[futureexpat]

I might finally make it out for one of these pissups.

Thanks JFC for the seating review. The Marketing Director said in a PM that he would allow us to be grouped together. As for costs of drinks, they are in line with prices we experienced at the last P-Up before Christmas.

As for renaming Thithi's Birthday, well, we'll have to vote on that at the event proper.

Humm,  Feb 20.. The date John Glen orbited the earth.  Edward VI was crowned king. Sidney Poitier's birthday. Cindy Crawford's birthday. Oh yes, my birthday, too!

[djlowz]

I like the sound of drink specials.. If you can assure me it's a place you can dance I am in!

[jfchandler]

As the evenings go on, they often have some older farang geezers and younger Thai ladies dancing to the music of the Filipino band there... So...count yourself IN!

[soundman]

Humm, Feb 20.. The date John Glen orbited the earth. Edward VI was crowned king. Sidney Poitier's birthday. Cindy Crawford's birthday. Oh yes, my birthday, too!
