Expat Meetings in Bangkok

@shasha and yayacats, Yes you can join for next meeting.

Help me in making TBNOB KL

Well im in the process of finishing the website first mate, but its closer than ever. Also i have been able to print 15.000 advertisement cards and they are already placed all over bangkok. Once i've got the model done, ill pass you the details. By now, do like me, test the grounds for a few months, see if you can start with a nice base of faithful followers like all of you were and still are

Love to know the location of the next one !! I would like to meet a few of us !

Well let me check with my sources if they do or dont sell alcohol next friday and ill make a plan and hopefully post it by tonight. So keep on checking this post Mickey.

Hi Luis

Its been a long time, how have you been?

Since Friday is a holiday with a liquor ban, liekly that many places will not risk to sell. Consider having the meetup tomorrow night?

Cheers!

Hello!
no meeting this week???

Sorry folks, no plan for this Friday night. As you know its a long weekend and not many bars will be open and/or serving alcohol. Appart from that, I still need to finish designing all the parts of TheBigNOB website.

Tonight there is also the AmBar rooftop party, I might be going to that one if someone wants to join.Click here to see more details about this

*11:00pm to 2:00am
::::Ambar Rooftop Lounge::::Just to try it out, lets see what all the fuzz its all about. I have tried to contact them, but haven't heard from them, so perhaps will be better to check it out by ourselves, and try to meet the manager there and see if we can get some cool discounts. Entrance fee its 200thb+coktail and they have a “party” this Friday too so Let's go and have a peak, and see whats cookin'.

It is a small, simply decorated drinking spot with probably the biggest collection of music videos in town. Drinks are extremely cheap, and there is a wide selection, especially of beers, to choose from. This place is a tribute to music history. The atmosphere is laid back and cozy with a serve yourself policy that makes sure, nobody waits long for the next beer.

Hi everybody
I'm a new member.Can I join this friday?

Hey Yupie, absolutely. Of course you can, thats why i do them. Hope to see you then this friday.

    LuisF keep up the good work mate. I am not there yet but I am looking forward to getting to one of your shindigs whenever I actually do arrive in Bangkok. It looks like a good time and a great chance for new arrivals to meet and greet with those who have been there and done that

Cheers Mate!!!

Hey

Shame i didn't go to the big night out, it sounded like fun. I met up with someone from this sight and went to Shock 39. Maybe another time.

On the other hand this site has been good for meeting people, I have recommended to several others. They look forward to attending some of the other meetings.

Bangkok, my dream country! I hope to be there soon and join you in the fete

@sam, pity mate, we were yesterday night a group of 22 people with hats, awesome party loaded with laughs and good times. Hope you make it another time.

Ahh I'm not an expat but can I join? hehehe

@Amy_Bkk Yeh of course, I make the meetings for both Expats and Locals to socialize, make new friends and have an awesome time while doing so.

▀▀▀▀▀▀**The Big Night Out Bangkok- Thursday August 11th Meeting**▀▀▀▀▀▀
★★★★ Going to Salsa &Rumba★★★★
*7:00PM to 9:00pm
:::The Londoner:::  This is a meeting point , where we can have a conversation, few drinks and some nice food and head onto the next venue.

( this might change depending on the answer of the manager)

Location: Sukhumvit Soi 33 BTS Phrom Phong, Exit should be opposite Emporium, and towards Asoke.
For  those who need a map: www.the-londoner.com
------------------------------------------------------
*9:00pm to 1:00am
:::La Rueda:::: La rueda is been going for a while, a Spanish salsa dance club, however they have their Grand Opening this Thursday night. We haven't got any offer there, but just because its about the only club of salsa in Bangkok It is worth a try. 
At ten few performances will start, and after that lots of latin dance will be assured until 1am.
Its located on the right side of Sukhumvit soi 18, few metres from the entrance of the soi.
For those who want a map:
http://www.lost-in-bangkok.com/eng/Bang … asp?cbox=2
------------------------------------------------------
*1:00am to 3:00am
::::Insomnia::::We haven't been here for a long while, so I decided just to keep the pace and catch up again with it. I recommend to enter  from the side of their restaurant “V8 dinner” in sukhumvit soi 12. Since you can buy a beer for 45 bath and you get a stamp to enter the disco without needing to pay 300thb of entrance fees.
For directions:
http://portal.clubinsomniagroup.com/contact/
------------------------------------------------------
*3:00am to 6:00am
::::Spicy::::  Before this club was horrific, it smelled bad and it looked like a huge bathroom, even the tiles of the walls were those you will find on a bathroom. However they recently re-open the place and now it looks top notch with bright leds, a friendly atmosphere and quite friendly barman's. Even though it is 300thb entrance, I think it is worth changing venues and checking out what's cooking in the other side of town.
It is Located at: Rung Muang Soi 1, Pathumwan, Rungmuang, Bangkok, Thailand
However to any taxy that you ask it will take you there quite happily since they take commission for taking you there. So you don't really need a map here.
------------------------------------------------------
*6:00am till Sunrise or beyond
::::Swing::: By then, I am not sure how many of you will stay still standing, however Swing it is just across the street literally from Spicy, walk in from the restaurant that you will see in the opposite side of the street onto an elevator to where all the drunk people go, and continue the party there until you explode.


I hope to see you all this next Thursday 11th of August , and if you have any queries don't doubt to call me at 0818291196.
Seeya!
