Artisan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 From a purely personal viewpoint, I wouldn't join either. I have no knowledge at all of either club, but this sort of thing isn't my scene. However, if you are determined to be a "joiner", then go for the first one mentioned......its administration is, for want of a more accurate word, better.

barryofthailand Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The pattaya City Expats Club which meets at Henry J beans at the north end of Beach road every Sunday morning is the best club. The other club which meets on the same day at the Grand Sole Hotel on 2nd road is more commercialized and not that personal. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyz Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm thinking about joining one of the above clubs. Can anyone make any reccomendations why one would be better then the other? I would NOT join the Pattaya Expats Club -- any club that endorses Bangkok Pattaya Hospital is questionable to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkapiboy Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I agree. I have only gone once, but really had a great time at the meeting. I met many nice people. I plan on going back soon. Have to wake up on a Sunday morning for it. The pattaya City Expats Club which meets at Henry J beans at the north end of Beach road every Sunday morning is the best club.

Mobi Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I guess at the end of the day you're either a "club person" or a "non-club person" Which one are you...? I know what I am - any guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas3940 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Sounds like Farang copying Thai? 2 Expat's Clubs or possibly some lads can't play good in the sand box together? I'm starting my own club boo hoo! The pattaya City Expats Club which meets at Henry J beans at the north end of Beach road every Sunday morning is the best club.
