Thai Visa Meeting

[p1p]

The votes have been cast and Mango Tree seems to be the destination of choice. The day seems to be tied between midweek, Wednesday, and Friday.

Place will therefore be reserved at Mango Tree Cafe, Loi Kroh Road on both Wednesday 10th and Friday 12th at 18:30 hrs. I suggest attendees should try to arrive before 19:15 because the restaurant will then let space to other customers.

Thai visa attendees, with their significant others, guests etc., will be entitled to discounts of at least 10% on both food and drink. (At least 10%, because the final level of discount is still subject to current negotiations.)

Mango Tree would be happy to extend this discount to Thai Visa members on a regular basis, not only on meeting evenings. Just inform the waiting staff or manager, before you ask for the bill, that you wish to claim your "Thai Visa" discount. (You may be asked a question on the site to verify your membership.)

Mango Tree is at the Moat end of Loi Kroh Road, about 30-50 meters from the beginning of the road. It is situated on the right hand side, if you are walking from the moat, and has cane chairs & table seating outside at the front. There is a green awning which also unfortunately extends over the bar next door.

Note regarding the meeting. Many posters value their privacy and the fact they can post anonymously. When we meet I suggest we use our real names but keep our online personae private, unless there is a particular reason to tell someone.

Ok, but note that voting for a particular day does NOT mean that any other day would be completely impossible. Like I voted for wednesday, but actually I would prefer having a good group on one day more than fragmentation. So for me I have the feeling that Friday will result in a bigger group, so I am changing my vote to Friday and will go there on Friday.

(Not saying that therefore people shouldn't meet on Wednesdays, merely that I for myself will show up on Friday, even though I voted Wednesday.. (phew..) ;-)

I think this discussion is the sole reason we're now beating even the Bangkok and Pattaya regional groups in terms of number of posts.. Let's keep it up!! ;-)

Cheers,

Chanchao

Is there something in this?

What's the problem with going on both days? I'm intending/hoping to do just that.

Personally, I like the idea of having a place where one can just drop in in the expectation than one might meet fellow members for a chat about current events, posts etc. A sort of club house, if you will. Set meetings/parties, large numbers of people, are all very well but smaller groups are far more productive.

Good idea... lets make rules..

No. stupid idea.. forget I said it.

[leonah]

I prefer small groups, but as I'm unavailable at the moment, I'll have to just keep in touch online for a while.

[Zendesigner]

see you tonight.

I do agree 100%, when I first talked about "why not meet ?", it was exactly the idea I had in mind, a place we can call "meeting point"

see you tonight

We came, We saw, We sat, We chatted, We ate, We drank, solved a few problems, caused a few more. Good time.

See you Friday???

[Ajarn]

Sure is great music at the Mango Tree....A bit of class for the neighborhood

[Zendesigner]

TIP: Park at DK Book Store, then walk around the corner. Too many drunk morons (Thai & foreign) bumping into things and cars on Loi Kroh proper..

Well, Chan, good advice, but I found this great spot directly across the street.....So nice for my lazy ass!

Btw, where were you, sir??

This is the first time I've been to one of these things, and I was looking forward to seeing you there, too...

A pleasant evening with francois, p1p and cdnvic...and some great jazz.

yesterday we were only four people, nice to meet, but so nicer if we could have been 8 or 10
