phuketsub Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 FC Phuket v Khon Kaen at Surakul Stadium TONIGHT!!! (insert retarded Patong accent) If the Islanders win they will not only remain unbeaten, but move into a tie for first place in Div 1. 10% of the gate proceeds (tix 100 baht, kids free) go to Plook Panya Municipal School. kickoff 6:30 NOTE TO MODERATORS: Would it be possible to turn this thread upside down so the most recent events appear at the top. It's a pain to have to navigate to the end every time...just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsub Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Annual 'lucky' license plate auction at Phuket Merlin Hotel tomorrow. The sign doesn't say what time it starts, but should be a good place to network with the rich and superstitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsub Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 FC Phuket v Port Authority @ Surakul Stadium on Saturday, May 4. kickoff 6:30pm. The teams are in fifth and fourth place in Division 1, respectively, and separated by just one point. A very important match for Phuket if they want to get back into the promotion zone.

phuketsub Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I notice four upcoming events I noticed from signs around town. Halal Expo: 31 May - 1 June @ Saphan Hin Last year's event at Sanamchai was as good as it gets for a non-alcoholic affair. I guess they chose not to hold it there again so as not to provoke the protesters who oppose building the new Provincial Hall at that location. Prison Product Fair: June 11 -17 @ Saphan Hin Good stuff cheap, entertainment every night, BYOB. I like this one. Phuket FC v Rayong FC: June 18 @ Surakul Stadium. kickoff at 6:30pm This will really be a must-win if they want to maintain a chance for promotion, as they could only get a draw at Ayutthaya yesterday. The pic below is of the diehard supporters watching the game live at the Nok Sanam bar opposite the stadium yesterday Baba Wedding: June 22-24 in Old Phuket Town sponsored by the Phuket Peranakan (Straits Chinese) Assn see: www.phuketbaba.com Might be interesting for tourists unfamiliar with the Old Town. In the past they had a series of events around the island. There is also a fair on at Saphan Hin at the moment and they have closed off a section of the road just south of the stage area to accommodate it. Anyway, it looks like I am the only one posting here. Let's try to keep this one alive people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsub Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Mangrove planting at Pa Lai Mangrove forest in Chalong on June 17. I guess they want to beat the heat because it starts at 5am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadJoe Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The US Navy League in Phuket (Southern Seaboard Council) is putting on what might be the largest Independence Day celebration ever seen in SEA, complete with air shows, plane rides, and hot air balloon rides. Admission free.

phuketsub Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Derby: Phuket FC v Krabi FC. Kickoff 6:30pm tomorrow (Wednesday) at good old Surakul Stadium. There is definitely a rivalry here, with a number of Phuket fans having been held hostage in Krabi stadium after the team got a draw there last year. Phuket have not beaten Krabi since both sides got into Division 1 and it is a must win for both Phuket (fifth of 18) and Krabi (7th) if they want to maintain hopes of promotion to the TPL. Let's hope for nice weather, a big turnout and a win after so many frustrating draws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi all, Members,specially Phuketsub, has been doing a great work publishing Phuket event information here. Phuket have lots of events, but quite often those go unnoticed. There is posts to this topic, but at least for me, I might read new posts, and after few hours forget the event details. Various medias have their own list of events, which are quite often full of 'Best BBQ events', which I consider more of an spam. Even Thaivisa have it's own list of the events http://phuket.thaivi...vals-in-phuket/. Once again, hidden on the webpage, where the information have to be separately checked. This simply does not work very well. To solve this I created simple community calendar, which can be freely added to mobile phones or used by any websites. This way we can have event calendar available when ever we need to see what is happening around the island. To add the calendar to your Google account calendar, simply click the '+ Google calendar' link on the calendar page. The calendar URL: https://sites.google.com/site/phuketcalendar/ And an example when embedded to a website: http://panphuket.com/calendar To add the calendar to PC or other devices, click the iCal link which is widely supported. iCal https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/sjs4g4ncqm8enbe9f12thacf1s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics HTML https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=sjs4g4ncqm8enbe9f12thacf1s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Asia/Bangkok XML https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/sjs4g4ncqm8enbe9f12thacf1s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic I'm also looking for individuals who would be willing to manage, eg add events to the calendar. Please PM me if you are interested and willing to help. The calendar is not affiliated with ThaiVisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsub Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 There is an "Orchid Display" festival on at the central staging area at Saphan Hin. I was there yesterday late afternoon and it's pretty good; lots of food and entertainment. I didn't actually see any orchids, but I didn't go out of my way looking for them. The only drawback is that the beer sponsor is Chang, so you might consider bringing in your own. This event runs 4-13 July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketsub Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Phuket FC v Air Force United tonight (Aug 21) @Surakul Stadium. Kickoff 6:30. This is a big match for the team, now playing well under yet another new coach. AirForce United are tied for 1st place with 48 points, while Phuket are in seventh place (tied with Saraburi).

phuketsub Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Aug 27 - Sept 5: 2nd Annual Phuket Town "3 Generations Festival" (my translation), organized by Phuket City Municipality and the Phuket Elderly Association. Location: central stage area Activities to include students shows and 'ramwong' dances. This may not sound too inspiring, but last year's inaugural event was pretty good -- if you are into cheap food, free entertainment and beer. Note: For those who don't get to Saphan Hin often, they have repaved Soi Saphan Hin (the shortcut from Nimitr Circle to Saphan Hin) and done away with all the speed bumps and not-to-grade drainage basin covers. It's still way to narrow to drive comfortably, but an improvement. There is also a new Paknam Seafood Restaurant along there, near the turnoff to the Saen Suk Community. It looks pretty nice, but I am not sure about the location. Anyway, if the food is as good as the one in Rassada people will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsub Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Tonight: Phuket FC v Ayutthaya Surakul Stadium; kickoff 6:30pm Entry 100 baht, kids free. Get there by 6pm to get good, covered seats. It seems like the Islanders have no realistic chance for promotion this season, but a loss in this match could start a real slide toward the relegation zone as Ayutthaya is the only team in DIV 1 without a road win.

phuketsub Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sept 5 & 6: Crying Fowl: Cheap (govt subsidized) chicken and eggs available from 7am to 11am at the Department of Internal Trade office at the corner of Montri and Luang Paw Road in Phuket Town. They don't say how much, but expect a big crowd there to take advantage, despite the almost negligible publicity.

phuketsub Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 September 17 to 21: San Jao Kuan Ou Chinese Shrine Fair @ Chinese Shrine in Nabon, Chalong, Muang District Highlight will be a concert by 'Ko Kai Kalamang' and "Ko Khai Naison", starting at 5:30pm on September 19 I suppose this is to raise money to further build up the shrine. September 22 to October 1: 4th Annual DDPM-Phuket Fair @Saphan Hin Central Stage Area (DDPM-Phuket is the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Phuket Office) Staged entertainment every night, organized in conjunction with Phuket City Municipality Expect all the food, entertainment, etc., normally associated with a run-of-the-mill festival at Saphan Hin No mention of a beer sponsor.

phuketsub Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 November 1: Sek Loso Concert @ Mazda Field (Phang Nga Rd, near Sea Horse Circle), 7:30pm. Tickets 380 baht. Saw him at a small club in Bangkok about 5 years ago, broke out some Hendrix. That should be a good gig. I do have a few concerns, however. There were a bunch of signs up around town advertising it that have since disappeared, though the main sign at the field is still there...I will have to get to the bottom of it and let you all know. My other concern is whether or not it would be safe to take my daughter, age 8. She loves Loso, but I have been to other big outdoor concerts here that got out of control. A third concern is the price: I can't remember the last time I had to pay for stage entertainment in Phuket! I always thought this was the upside to the fact that everything else here is overpriced. FINALLY: (and with a view to staying on topic) FC Phuket's last home match of the season is tonight against last-place Rayong. Not much in it, really. Phuket is right at mid table and Rayong are gonna be relegated no matter what. The kickoff is earlier than usual, 5pm. Congrats to AirForce United and PTT on their likely promotions..the third promo spot is still anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
