Turning the big 40 next friday

I would like to rent out a venue for dinner + cocktails for 20+ people - maybe even provide own liquor if allowed

Anyone have any suggestions on places that would cater to such a request? Maybe any of our wonderful community business owners/ sponsors?

I planned to spend 4,000+ baht for the evening

Thanks!

Just about any restaurant will allow you to reserve a table for 20. If you bring your own booze then there'd just be a corkage charge.

That said, 4000 baht is not a very big budget.. A birthday cake alone for 20 people will run up to 600-1000 baht, and if people drink beer or wine (or cocktaisl especially) then you will have already blown your budget.

With a budget of about 200baht per person for dinner and cocktails I wouldn't think to many business owners and sponsors on TV would be bothered. Maybe try those 99baht buffet style Thai places for a laugh.

Happy Birthday anyway.

As Magnum Force says, 4,000 isn't much for 20+ people, but we at The Olde Bell would love to help you celebrate and i could put together something worthwhile involving dinner and a couple of drinks each if you'd like to pop in and see us or PM me, we could discuss some details.

Mikes burger.

I am sorry - I need to go back to math class

Do you think 10,000 would make for a decent evening with food/ drinks/ dessert?

Yes, I think so.

But to be honest, you can spend what you want. The choice of venue will decide.

for 10,000 baht we could put on a plated meal or a buffet, a couple of cocktails and a couple of beers each.

If Thai food is OK with you and your guests, you could easily find a caterer for 200 baht/head, pay a little extra to rent tables and chairs from a wat, and then have the party at your place with no corkage fee and whatever drinks you want.

You could also talk to Dave at Dukes. He knows of many halls to rent and I think he would be able to accommodate your budget.:jap:

For sure, best to find a place to rent.

Your budget will go miles further, if you speak to someone about food and buy your own booze and soft drinks.

Jay's suggestion is good.
