Skal

[cmsally]

Does anybody know if there is a SKAL club in Chiang Mai. I know there used to be one but went to there website (for Thailand) and sent off an email but no reply. I heard that it had been disbanded in Chiang Mai but still has members in Bangkok, Phuket etc.

I understand that Michael Vogt, from Chiang Mai Mail, is an active member.

SKAL

Skal is an association for people in tourism. Name derived from something Scandinavian - see link.

[Priceless]

SKAL (there should be a small circle over the A) is simply the Swedish word for the following:

English: CHEERS

German: PROST

Thai: CHOK DEE

Might give some hint as to the club's activities...

Margaret at the "Welcome to Chiangmai and Chiangrai" Magazine is a prime mover in Skal in the north. They have meetings about once a month.

The next dinner meeting for Skål International Chiangmai and North Thailand will be on Thursday, October 27, at Rydges Amora Tapae Hotel. To assist the planning in this event, the Skål Club would appreciate you advising your attendance by email to [email protected] or by fax to 0 5390 4777 (with a copy to Michael Vogt at Michael @chiangmai-mail.com)
