Yes, there is a small charge to attend the meeting -- 120 baht for members of CM Expats club and 170 baht for non-members. Lifetime membership is 1000 baht.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to permit someone to enter the meeting at no charge just for the main topic presentation. The hotel bases their charge to the club on the number of people who attend the talk, whether or not they consume water, use the paper & pencils provided or eat the kanom, fruit, coffee and tea available before the meeting. They simply count how many people are in the room.

Incidentally, the quality of the kanom is very good.

We hope you can come!
