WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 haha not exactly what I meant, but never mind. I'll be sure to dress respectably anyway. So Friday 7pm at Big C? It's probably worth stressing to all at this time that we're talking about the ex-Carrefour Big C that is half way to Doi Inthanon. Ok, slight exaggeration, but it's past Hang Dong village.

JeffreyMcCollum Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I am out in that area, I know most mornings a few get together at California wraps for breakfast 9 or 9:30 ish It is next to Rimpings other side from Rosewood. usually a half dozen there but again usually not me. food is good and reasonable for what you get. If I am not working I usually like to ride and not sit and chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehowden Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi all, Yes, to confirm I was talking about the ex Carrefour Big C, about 2 K South of Hang Dong and not the Big C/ Homepro site at the end of the runway. I know it's not the greatest place for an evening but it's a start and most folks can find it easy. It has a beer bar out front (more expensive) if we want a little more color (mostly ladyboys I think). Sorry I cannot make Friday as suggested as i am doing a visa run that day but Saturday would be good unless others thing another day would be better? Hope to see a few of us on Saturday at 19:00.

JimShortz Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Today seems to be my day for suggesting places for us South of Chiang Mai dwellers... A friend has opened a bar inside the Moobaan behind Kad Farang, in what I believe is called the Tarndong Clubhouse. It's a kind of weird location, well of the beaten path, but if he gets some support from people going "stir crazy" out on the south side of town it could make a great meeting place... There is basically nothing else of that type between Hangdong and town. He sells beer cheap, has got a brand new slate bed pool table, big screen TV with full HD satellite sport, etc. and is also a nice guy... It is a hell of a lot nicer than drinking in Big C (although those Chang girls are not hard on the eyes!). I believe he is open all day. To get there: Heading south from town take the first entrance into Kad Farang (next to Rosewood Restaurant) and then simply follow straight on out of the back of the Kad Farang shopping area for about 1km until you come to a roundabout. the clubhouse is now on your left, go past it and then turn in on the left to park. Or, Google Map: link here It's the large building complex in the centre with the swimming pool, and next to the roundabout that you can just about make out!

Saturday, 7pm, here: http://g.co/maps/jknga When looking at the building from the position of the picture above, all the way on the right hand side on the ground floor is a food center. Towards the far end to the right is where most the beer stands are. (If still the same as before, I haven't been there for a year or so.) Indoor parking is under/behind the building, so when entering from the indoor parking lot, it would be to your left.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't want to get too close to town.. To me (could be a personal thing) the attraction is to be a good distance from town.. Yummie Pizza is around the corner from where I live, there's no adventure in that. (Yes, I know, as opposed to Big C, LOL) Either way the Big C would just be because everyone can find it easily and it'll accommodate even a hundred people if need be. I would want to move on from there not too long after. And it's easy to reach by Songtell: That said, the Kad Farang - Farang, does sound interesting. Also sounds like BYOCC though.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 BTW, assuming people will end up at a more Thai oriented place, some effort will need to be made to keep track of bins. Thai people would rarely get individual tabs, at some point everyone chips in towards a communal tab. Farangs mostly don't work that way, especially when everyone drinks different things in different quantities. That's actually my theory of why the official Thaivisa pissups tend to be free, because the headache of keeping 83 tabs from 83 drunk Farangs apart is just not worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't plug your friend's places (if they are good and worth supporting) what can you do! Anyway, is this meet on? I don't really much like meeting in supermarkets, but it wouldn't be the first time... so long as we go on to somewhere else (Steve's place, or wherever is good!).

ThaiPauly Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I think it's a very good idea to have a get together. I have made some long lasting friends through Thai Visa get-togethers. I would have joined you guys (wherever you end up) but am currently in Bangkok and won't be returning till the middle of next week. Maybe next time , I'm sure it will be a success.

davehowden Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 i think all are welcome, 7pm, today Big C on the Hang Dong to Hod road, don't be late and miss all the "fun". BTW, I checked out the place in the back of Kad Farang, lovely pool table, TV etc. but we would have to give advance notice, as no cookie or eats available, we had the place to ourselves at 19:30 through 21:00. easy parking, outside/ inside tables, a place begging to be used.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 So... Hello? Ok I'm just a little late, but I'm looking at a billion Thai people and no Farlongs. I like this Big C by the way, remarkably smiley staff, and they have a dedicated Cowboy shop. Anyway, I'm waiting for the next Songtell and if that doesn't deliver a crowd then I'm off to drive the 100 miles to Loi Kroh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackArtemis Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Was there at 7:20-8 checking out both inside Big C and outside at the one bar area. I saw one other Farang right when I got there. THought he might be waiting on a wife, so I had to buy something, hit the bathroom, and then when I went past the downstairs he was gone. I wonder if that was you Winnie, he was playing with his cellphone... I checked out Kad Farang on the way back and saw nothing as described, but I probably just failed to find it. However, I recieved a text at that time from some female co-workers, so I am going with that plan instead Good luck, have fun and don't worry, you'll get over not seeing my smiling mug.

Beetlejuice Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have seen these sort of threads before and have surely been tempted to participate and meet up. But I think most of these are a load of hot air and rarely does anyone turn up anyway, so I don`t bother. If this was the real deal and some did turn up, I would be interested to hear what transpired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) See above; I'm in favor of sticking to town for meet ups & piss ups. There aren't even that many small local bars along that stretch of the CM-Hot road. Saw one called Bingo Bar but that was already very near Kad Farang. I have to also admit that it's quite the drive.. I never thought of it as particularly far from town, but late at night I wouldn't want to trek all the way back there.
