Sunday Social Drink/Meal

[KarenBravo]

Green Man does not serve Thai food (thought you'd better know for the sake of your partner).

[Chainsaw]

I reckon Friendship Beach would suit your needs. Great location and they do a decent burger. Also Thai food is on the menu.

If you want the traditional British Sunday dinner then the Islander Bar in Rawai is the place to go.

Well maybe by wife can teach them how to do it if they are interested.

I am more interested in getting people who think the same about Thailand and Thai people as i do to and getting theses people together

And maybe in the future we can get Thai people who follow and post on this forum to join us.

It is only the first place to get together we can chose where we want after that.

Old Crocs suggestion of the Green Man seems good to me.

Nearly everyone knows where it is and if they do not its easy to find.

How about next Sunday 5PM to start with.

We can always go somewhere else for a meal if the foods not suitable.

I agree with that idea! Why do we have to discuss for ages the venue, just let's do it as a start.

Green Man for a starter. Islander and Friendship for future probables?

[jkzero]

is the sunday social only for the older, richer, farang or are some younger expats welcome too?!

[Thules]

Two people have said they are interested and there are probably a lot more.

Its a matter of finding the right location without a dog, somewhere with a good

atmosphere that would suite the majority of people.

I am going to check out one in Chalong which i think will be suitable and i am

sure other people will know other places.

If enough people are interested we could meet one Sunday a month, i believe

there may not be a lot of people in the beginning but if people enjoy themselves

it wont take long for word to spread around.

Good food would be a major factor as well... Let me know when you find somewhere.

I, and a bunch of others, eat a traditional Sunday roast at The GreenMan every week.

The food is pretty good (new chef), and the menu is very extensive. BTW, they do serve

Thai food, to the extent that they have a separate Thai menu.

I think everybody is welcome!

The menu and the food used to be quite good and I ate there often about three, four years ago. Then I got put off by the food and service and haven't been in years. But if things have improved again as you say, I'll give it another try.

We went to Norbus' Steakhouse last week for my birthday and it was quite good. I eaten there many times, but I think they are closed Sundays. The only thing I'll eat there though is the fillet mignon. Aussie beef, at least that's what the menu says.

Its for people who have a partner in there life who are not interested in the bar seen.

Its nothing about age or wealth, its about expanding your circle of friends, meeting

people who are interesting to talk to and enjoying good company

[Thules]

Think you will be pleasantly surprised as The GreenMan has also got

some new bar staff. If not, have a quiet word with the owner, Howard

and it'll get fixed.

So........just what do you think about Thailand and Thai people?

Best know now rather than turn up and find out that we could be the wrong kind of people.

I can vouch for Peter and Thao (sp). They are very nice people. They came over to my house a few weeks back and we had a couple of drinks and a nice visit.

[LivinLOS]

i am priveleged in that i am educated, have had good career oppotunities and been able to travel

Then whats the issue with a place where it might cost a couple hundred baht to eat about ??

I mean its the green man, no ones suggesting Aqua, Joes, twin palms or anything..

[steelepulse]

I too think it''s about socializing and just finding a place that's clean, has decent food and a reasonable setting. There's plenty of good seafood restaurants in the Chalong/Rawai area, but OP and his group have to start somewhere. Where do you suggest jkzero?

[petercallen]

I would like to establish a social group for COUPLES.

All COUPLES are welcome.

The AGENDA will be decided by the people who attend the first meeting.

The first meeting will be at the Green Man on Sunday 29/08/2010 starting at 5pm

When you arrive the Staff at the Green Man will tell you where the meeting is being held

[petercallen]

Would people who are going to attend the meeting on Sunday to form a couples social group

SMS Howard at the Green Man on 081 086 2221 if possible so he can get an idea of the

seating requirements.

Cheers,

Peter

[thaigerd]

Peter,

just met Howard and spoke to him about Sunday. He's looking forward to welcome us!

Sorry, it sounds very strict for me when you mention always couples....what about single persons who would like to attend???

I have been involved in social groups before.

Most social groups are either made up of single people or couples,

I have seen situations where single people cause more trouble than

they are worth in a couples social club.

If other people want to include single people and want them to come

to the first meeting that's fine with me.

Its meant to be a social club where everyone can have there say and

the majority rule in any decisions.

See you Sunday,

Cheers,

Peter

What should have been a polite discussion about meeting up for lunch quickly degenerated into an orgy of bickering and arguing.

A host of posts have been removed. Apologies to the innocent posters that have been deleted.

Thanks.

[petercallen]

Well todays the day, people who think i am stuckup or anything else can find out what i am really like.

My name is Peter not Peta i am a bloke.

[thaigerd]

Who will come this afternoon???

[petercallen]

Who will come this afternoon???

Hard to say mate, how long is a piece of string, could be 6 could be 60.

Howard would have a better idea if people have botherd to SMS him

[petercallen]

I phoned Howard at the Green Man and 10 people have sent him a SMS message about attending.

There are probably more than that going to attend.

Just by reading the posts i have an idea of which members of this forum will attend.

It does not really matter as long as its good company.

From a acorn a large tree grows.

The ones i believe are going to attend i look forward to meeting

So how was the meeting on Sunday?

I'm curious how many people showed up and regret that my wife and I had a prior commitment and couldn't make it. I tried to send you a message on the weekend Peter, but couldn't get it done. Why don't you send me a PM and let's talk.

[LivinLOS]

Without wanting to push anyone to any specific group..

It struck me that those who were interested in this for a 'social' may well also be interested in Ao You open day at the sailing club.. Even if you have no interest in sailing, it was a pleasant group, very relaxed, lovely location, bit of BBQ, the kind of grouping that I suspect would fit with the suggested sunday social types.

I do not think any of us are the yacht club type of people

We will be holding another get-together we have not decided on the

venue and date yet

[LivinLOS]

Ao Yon is not really 'yachties' as much as say chalong..

Only mentioned it as it fit the 'normal / couples / relaxed socializing' kind of remit that the OP was seeking.

[Thules]

Thanks for the suggestion LivinLos. I have no idea where you're talking about, but I'll find out !

[Lite Beer]

As the event is now in the past it is now closed.

Please feel free to post again when the next get together is planned.

Thanks.

CLOSED.
