THEME NIGHT: LET'S WIGGIT WITH A WIG
Meeting 09/Sep/2011

★★The Big Night Out - Bangkok ★ ★Let's Wiggit with a Wig!!★★

==Go and buy some awesome and funny wig, and lets party like maniacs!!==

7pm to 10pm:
Meeting Point: Witches Tavern

Unfortunately we dont have yet any deals there however they have live music and FREE pizza from 6 to 8. This is a nice starting point for the night since its farly quiet for a nice talk and getting to know each other better and discuss how good or bad your week has been and get to a nice happy point in the meantime.

Map: http://www.witch-tavern.com/New_site/contact.html

10pm to 2am:
LED @ RCA

There is no entrance fee here and the club is well situated in one of the most "chick" places of Bangkok's party venues . We unfortunately dont have any formal deals here, however I thought it would be nice to scape from main sukhumvit a bit and show you around a little bit more.

Map: Any taxi driver will take you there, they all know were is it without problems.

2am to 6am:
Wongs@ Sathorn Soi 1

It's cramped, it's dark, it smells. But It's the best damn place in the universe! It will be filled with drunken partiers hell bent on making sure the night's not over yet. This hole-in-the-wall dive bar near Sathorn and Rama IV Road is a Bangkok institution, attracting everyone from the odd local celeb to curious backpackers looking for a late-night hangout.

Map: 27/3 Soi Sribamphen, Rama 4 Road ( or simply say to the taxi driver Sathorn Soi 1)

6am to Whenever:
Swing or other secret afters'

By this time I am not sure how many of you will remain, but here is where we going since it is about the only club in Bangkok that is open until crazy hours in the morning/afternoon. And any taxy driver will know where it is and happily take you there.

I really hope to see you all this Friday night to socialise, make new friends and party like animals!!! Last week was a blast ( even though that some people left the first bar without paying) But the night was full of laughter and new friendships were made and forged under the wingspan of The Big Night Out Bangkok Any questions on how to arrive, please call Luis @ 081 829 1196

I'll be there Luis.

Hi Luis and everybody ,

Can I join u guys tonight ?


Cheers !

Yeah man of course!!

The Big Night Out - Bangkok ★ 16/09/2011 ★

▓ ▓ ▓ THEMED NIGHT: PICASSO FACEPAINT ▓ ▓ ▓

==Buy some paint, and paint your face of anything that you would like to, or let us paint for you something !!==

❏ 8pm to 11pm:
Meeting Point: Bubble Bar @ RCA
Its a newly - just a week ago - bar open in the Royal City Avenue. Good underground tunes, nothing comercial. Awesome friendly athmosphere and very competitive pricing. Its decoration is quite different as it tries to resemble a submarine. A nice spot to check out and to start from.

❏ 11pm to 2am:
Glow

However there is an entrance fee of 300thb - with 1 drink - there is apparently a good Dj. going there this friday night. Glow its in soi 23, past soi cowboy, first to the right, then first to the left. So lets go and check it out, see what's cooking.

❏ 2am to 6am:
Tapas Club @ Silom soi 4

The Tapas Room Club is a homely place with a range of music that will suit everyone's taste. On the second floor the DJ's turn up the beat and on the roof, there's a room for a private party.

Once you've been there you'll want to go back!
Entrance Fee its normally 100thb or 200thb with one drink for "free" Inside you can order jugs of cocktails from about 300thb.

❏ 6am to Whenever:
What ever its open- which normaly means Swing'

By this time I am not sure how many of you will remain, but here is where we going since it is about the only club in Bangkok that is open until crazy hours in the morning/afternoon. And any taxy driver will know where it is and happily take you there.

I really hope to see you all this Friday night to socialise, make new friends and party like animals!!!

▓ ▓ NOTE: Wongs HAS now been changed for Tapas Club @ Silom soi 4

Sounds like a funtastic night - I've got a Van Gogh Sunflower, can i join?

Of course you can join, however the theme is face-painting, which means that someone else will paint the face for you, and you'll be able to paint someone elses' face

The "picasso" i mentioned it cos not all have great skills in painting or drawing, so the end "product" ( your face) can really resemble to one of Picasso's paintings

hahah - fantastico
I dont have any face paint - but i can bring my Permanent Marker Pens?

My face already resembles a Picasso - So it cannot get any worse.
Let the artists prevail...

Thanks to all the wonderful people that came yesterday night. It was awesome to see you all having fun. Pity that we lost some in the way ( sorry for that) but all and all was an awesome night. Thank you all!

if you've got pics of last night could you please send them to me at luisf@thebignob.com Thank you all again

Hi
Was hoping to catch all your crazy cats at Glow - but i didn't see anyone with face paint after 11pm - 4am

Or was i just way too drunk to see anything?
DJ Nakadia was there...
Hope to catch you for the next one instead...

We were quite dispersed, but mainly we were next to the big sofa at the entrance. We were a bit late ( its difficult to move 22 people) but we were there. Have a look at the pics in facebook and youll see we were painting faces in Glow

Hi is this something you have every month? Would love to join next time, When is the next time?

Hi jonta, I do this every Friday night. So next time is this Friday night 23rd and next one will be 30th and next 7th,14th,21st,28th of October and so on and on.

Ill post the plan in a bit, nadia. Youll have all the details there

Friday, September 23

The Big Night Out - Bangkok ► ► WTF!! Party ◄◄

THEMED NIGHT: WTF!! Party

==Take any random household item or take apart last year's Halloween costume and don your most creative concoction. Dress in the most ridiculous thing you can think of. When you enter the party your goal is to have someone say "What the F@#%!!!!!!"==

❐ 8pm to 11pm:
Meeting Point: Ambar Rooftop Bar
Its a venue that I havent properly managed to visit yet, however they have told me that it is quite nice and they have a pool there. We havent got as yet any deals here. But this might or might not change, depending on how quickly they answer my email.
►Location: Sukhumvit 15 -In between BTS Asoke and BTS Nana - in the 8th floor of the Hotel Four Points Sheraton.

❐ 11pm to 2am:
Toxic Club

We try yet another new ( or that i didnt know it existed ) club for a change of venue. A friend -DJ.Dan Buri- of mine is playing there on Friday night, so what a great opportunity to have a new venue to go to and have some great tunes to listen to.
►Location:At the end of Sukhumvit 18 - BTS Asoke - , on the ground floor at Town Lodge hotel

❐ 2am to whenever:
Whatever is Open

Before it was very easy to pick because all the clubs were still open. However with the new goverment "closure policy" it is very hard for me to choose one, since the managers themselved dont know for sure if they are going to be able to be open or not. At this point, club of choice could be Insomnia, however not sure again if its open. Perhaps we could try going to Nana Liquid, or if we are having a good time at Toxic, we could remain there. Unless someone has a sugestion. Sorry I cannot be of more help here.
The only places that normally arent trashed by the police - or they do other kind of deals - are Shock 39, sometimes Climax, Wongs - since its so hidden nobody really cares about it - and Swing that I am guessing it isnt registered as neither a bar or a club or is owned by the police itself cos it never shuts down.

▀ I really hope to see you all this Friday night to socialise, make new friends and party like animals!!! Last week was a blast ( even though that Tapas was closed and we missed some people in the way) But the night was full of laughter and new friendships were made and forged under the wingspan of The Big Night Out Bangkok

Beware: Anyone who comes without one will receive one painted with a permanent marker MWAHHAHA! ! =

❐ 7pm to 9pm:
Meeting Point: Coyote on Convent
A Mexican bar in central Silom, with 64 different margaritas cocktails. We don't have offers here yet, however im trying to extend their “happy hour” from the moment we get in until we get out only for us ( the ones wearing a mustache)
►Location: http://www.coyoteonconvent.com/map.html

❐ 9pm to 12am:
The Barbican
We have been here once before, it was very nice so we are returning again.

Once you've been there you'll want to go back!

❐ 2am to 6am:
I have no idea what will be or won't be open from here on, so we will need to do a “taxi roulette” and see where we end up.

▀ I really hope to see you all this Friday night to socialize, make new friends and party like animals!!!

►►Any questions on how to arrive, please call Luis @ 081 829 1196◄◄

Sound good it must be incredible night

Does that mean that you want to join naomura?

Hi Luis,

I will try to be at the Coyote place but maybe not with the mustache!!!héhé

Cheers

Alexa

Well no worries Alexbird13, I will carry with me a permanent marker with me tonight for those who havent got a mustache on.

Yes, now, I'm worried!!!!

Hi Luis,

I've been at the Coyote at  8.00P.M and nobody was here, or I couldn't see anyone, so after looking upstairs at the restaurant room, I left...

No Mustach people this evening at the coyote?

A

you sure? we were there just next to the door at the right. Should have called me.

Hey sorry Luisf i did not go last friday but i will go next time for sure.many Thai join your group????

More than a couple actually. So hope i see you this friday then.

Hi Luis,

The thing is, that i haven't seen anymore with fake mustaches!!!

And I asked to the waitress if she knew someone called Luis, but no one did...

So I would like to come next week but I don't want being there for nothing.

Will see then...

Thanks

Alexa

It my first time for next friday too don t worry if u c no one at lease i will be there
See ya Luisf and Alexa

Ok! but I don't know yet, if I'm not going away from Bangkok at the week end.

Thank you very much for your reply, by the way, is it the same places each friday?

See you

Alexa

No, the places change each friday with a new night theme. The problem was i think that u were expecting fake mustaches when the fist people that we were there we had real mustaches grown. Pity that you ddnt see us, cos it was a very fun night with all the 24 people that turned up.

Save my phone in yours - 081 829 1196 - for next time in case that you cant find us. So hope to see you in the next one and youre able to find us

Ok thanks Luis...

Maybe see you next time
