MartynSinclairParticipantThere has been talk of trying to arrange a meet up for Forum contributors in Bangkok in December. Not knowing what I am letting myself in for by creating this thread, I am willing to try and put something together.
**Suggested dates will be somewhere between Tuesday December 12 and Thursday 21st December.
**Location – central BKK
**as with all group dinners, it is important to ensure everyone comfortable, so a suitable venue will be selected once numbers are known – but suggestions are always welcome
**In the first instance, if you are interested, please can you reply on this thread, then we will work out how to get in touch.
**Please also suggest dates that suit you…
**this will be a very casual, informal but hopefully extremely enjoyable evening..

seasonedtravellerParticipantHi Martyn
Please count me in for this, provided of course, that I am able to include Bangkok in December’s Asia itinerary.
I sent you my business Email address back in August- hope it was received ok?
Cheers

FlightlevelParticipantGreat idea ‘though a few days before Xmas – don’t people have families to see then?
A neutral date like January or November when tickets are cheaper too, may be more appropriate?18 Sep 2017

thebigseatsParticipantEarlier in December could work – if an irregular “contributor” is welcome?!

MartynSinclairParticipant@thebigseats – all are welcome – I’m hoping some of the BKK based contributors will also come along. Once the numbers are known we can decide on location / budget… etc
@K1ngston – From my perspective it can be anytime after 10th December (I arrive early evening 10th) – I hope that will be ok..19 Sep 2017

capetonianmParticipantI might be in KUL at some point in December, and have always fancied the train trip from there to BKK. It might just work. I’ll keep an eye on this and may inflict myself upon you!

traveldoc1ParticipantGreat idea, and I’d LOVE to join, especially since I’m BKK-based BUT….. I depart on the night of Tuesday 12th (AY144 to HEL and on to DUB) for Christmas break. Earlier would be good, or early in new year??

donkeyasiaParticipantHappy to attend, dates are fine.
If attendees would like to provide Martyn with their choice of
1. Type of evening – pub, sit-down, other?
2. Type of food – Thai, Western, Pub, other?
3. Location – Restaurant, hotel or local, name of venues known to the Bangkok contingent and frequent visitors?
4. Budget if relevant –
* Martyn, if you need assistance beforehand let me know.
* Capetonianm – unless you are intending to take the Orient Express, I would not risk the train. extremely erratic timetable and notorious for late arrivals. there have been some mugging issues on the local train from Hua Hin to Bangkok in recent months. if you have the time a hire car drive is an interesting option.20 Sep 2017

PrakashMehtaParticipantMartyn – this is a great idea (especially since regular followers but occasional posters like me are welcome) and thanks for taking the initiative.
The suggested dates of 12-21 Dec work well for me as I have a commitment at home in BOM for 11th Dec and the earliest I can fly out to BKK is 12th Dec.

ASEAN TravellerParticipantGreat idea and would love to join. Preferred dates from my end would be 11 and 12 or 18 and 19 evening. I am KL based, so if we can’t make it work this time, very much look forward to the next. Thank you again for the suggestion and for organising Martyn.
