[MMarlow]

Any good hotel recommendatios nearby ?

There's a new hotel right next to the place, Bangkok 7 Inn I think it's called. You'll have fun there.

[muchogra]

I might just move up my schedule to Bangkok by 2 weeks to attend.

I am going in singly and planning to walk out with 2 of the 5 in the pic.

I recommend the Ibis on Soi 4 for the budget conscious traveller... Bring your own soap.

I recommend, the Woraburi on Soi 4 for our budget conscious traveller, TEFLrs or Chang drinkers.

Will this fine upstanding establishment be serving "snake bites" will the Blether be it town?

Sell it to me, why should I bother?

Judging by the constant bickering and nasty comments on this forum, throw in liberal amounts of alcohol, sounds a good place to go for a punch up, count me in

[fasteddie]

Would love to be there, but unfortunately not in Thailand at the time. Have a good time y'all!

[KuhnPaen]

So...I'll just ask to get this out of the way. Any chicks there? Besides the Beer Chang girls that is.

[crowbait]

Sorry but can't make this. However, I hope you all have a grand time and I will frequent the bar in January when I'm next in Bangkok.

[neverdie]

Yes, I'll be there too.

A set of stocks, over-ripe tomatoes and bad eggs will be supplied. Actually that could be a good promotion, pelt your 'favourite' Mod

Okay, not being the bar type and a non drinker, I must say I wasn't too excited about this.

.....HOWEVER, after reading your message I'm going to book my flight and stock up on year old eggs and water balloons full of eeeerrrr tomatoes .

Exactly what time are you going to be there old chum and what will you be wearing ?

[johnno2]

Count me in, what type of proof of being a member is needed?

[socksy01]

Some photo's and a map would have been helpful. Perhaps a menu and prices as well.

Wow seems TV is becoming a brand of it's own.

TV Property, Insurance? Now bars? What's next - surely a TV Pizza or Mexican restaurant can't be far behind

I don't think photos would help you, as it has been stated earlier in this thread that the signs aren't up yet. What do you want them to take photos of? Would you like them to take a picture of the building and then photoshop what they think the sign will look like into the picture so you can recognize the building. In all seriousness, this is a forum for expats and long-term visitors. While I admit that there are some tourists here and newbies, most of us have been to Bangkok once or twice. A lot of us actually live here. For those who have been to Bangkok a few times, I would venture a guess that 95% of them have visited lower Sukhumvit at some point. Even those who haven't know how to use google maps. At the very least, they know how the numbering of sois off of a main road works throughout the country. If you are unable to locate Soi 7 without a map to the venue, you are going to have a difficult time getting around anywhere in Thailand. You might want to consider giving Bangkok a miss altogether, as you are likely to be as lost as an Easter egg!

Soi 7 is located between Soi 5 (there is a McDonalds on the corner and Gullivers is on this Soi) and Soi 7/1 (There is a Subway on the corner along with Vasu Exchange. There are a number of girly-type beer bars on the Soi along with The Pickled Liver and Maxim Inn. The infamous Eden Club is also located on 7/1). So, look for the Soi located between McDonalds and Subway! It's really not as difficult as it sounds. It is connected to the BTS; however, the nearest entry point to the BTS from Soi 7 is and escalator going up. It will prove useful should you struggle to maintain your balance when trying to return home!

As for a menu and prices, I think this is more like a soft-opening for members. We already get a 15% discount. I don't think ThaiVisa is going to engage in price gouging if they want to remain open. Again, most of us live here or visit regularly. If prices are unreasonable, you can bet your bottom baht that most of us will vote with our feet. Your first drink is free. While sipping on that free beer, you can have a look at the prices and menu and decide if you want to stay or not. It isn't like there is a shortage of other venues to have a drink in the nearby vicinity. There are only 100 bars within a couple of block radius.

Good luck getting there! Hope these directions helped!

Fine. Me plus one buddy. Glen

[JimHuaHin]

I have to get car serviced in the morning ... bummer.

As long as there are no problems with the car, I shall drive up to BKK in the afternoon.

So please, count me in.

Thank you
