The Big Night Out - Bangkok ► ► Lets party Welcoming the new year ◄◄
= With a new year now underway, and me finally back in Bangkok I think that even with JetLag we shall celebrate partying away like animals this new year, and embrace with open arms new members to our constant growing BigNOB family to make new lasting friendships. =
❐ 7.00pm to 8,30pm:
Meeting Point:The Londoner @ the entrance corner of Soi 33
Lets start the night with the The Londoner Brew Pub is one of Bangkok's favourite pubs. They brew their own bee and they have very nice live music.
Be the latest at 8,45pm otherwise move to the next place.
►Location: http://www.the-londoner.com/contact.aspx
❐ 8,30pm to 10,30pm:
::::The Dubliner::::
The Dubliner is the only Irish pub in Bangkok thats Irish owned . And its not on the tourist trail, so the fact that its packed every night is testament to its quality.
►Location: 440 Sukhumvit Rd (b/w Sukhumvit Soi 22 & 24)
http://www.thedublinerbangkok.com/Defau … pageid=287
❐ 10,30pm to 3am:
::::Glow nightclub::::
Entrance fee will be 250 thb with one drink, but from 10,30 to 11,30 we will have FREE OPEN BAR.
Its a nice underground disco, situated in between narcissus and soi cowboy, they have very nice underground non commercial underground djs and its worth visiting.
Plese be in time, as I really want those nice free drinks from the open bar hehe.
►Location: Past soi 23 http://glowbkk.com/location/
❐ 3am 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.
Cheap beers too in here, 75THB each. : -)
►Location: 27/3 Soi Sribamphen, Rama 4 Road ( or simply say to the taxi driver Sathorn Soi 1) From the exterior it would seem its closed but it will not be. Its about 50 metres away from the 7/11 in the corner at the left hand side.
❐6am to X:
Party continues @ 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.
►Location: Any taxi driver knows quite well where is it, If they happen to have forgotten just mention sapacy and through the restaurant, take an elevator to the third floor.
▀ 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◄◄

The Big Night Out - Bangkok ► ► Wiches, Clowns & Jungle Animals◄◄
= A very random theme to do indeed, but lets see who comes dressed the most creative of all. Either a witch with a big nose, a broom and a pointy hat, or a clown with that red nose and huge shoes. Or why not combining them creating a witchclown?? Also there is a party taking place at Glow were they will be also dressed up as jungle animals, so maybe combine the 3 of them?! The limit is your imagination! =

The Big Night Out - Bangkok ► ► Horrible Hawaiian T-shirts◄◄
= The other day going around in Tescos I noticed screaming colors in the distance, I therefore was attracted to see what was such a thing, And there they were, horrible patterns and incredibly awful color combinations for just 89thb. And I thought to myself what a wonderful idea for an awesome funny night out, so here it is! =
❐ 8.00pm to 10.00pm:
Meeting Point: The Barbican
Lets start the night at one small but very nice pub in Silom, it is a minimalistic wooden bar in soi thaniya ( just off Saladaeng Bts Station ) They have very nice beer pints and they are running this Friday a special on Shooters & Spirits at 100thb .
►Location: http://www.greatbritishpub.com/barbican/map.asp
❐ 10.00pm to 12,00pm:
::::The Pintsman:::
I personaly havent been yet in here since its quite new. But I have been reading good reviews on it and this Friday they have a selection of good old rock and roll 50s music theme which has been combined with the degustation of a range of different beers from around the world. I have not yet met the manager or the prices in the menu, but I invite you to join me and perhaps we might get some discounts after we present ourselves.
►Location: Ground Floor, United Center, 323 Silom Road - Near BTS SalaDaeng -
❐ 12.00pm to 06.00am ( or when police shuts down the place) :
::::Tapas Bar::::
There is a small entrance fee at the door in here, its 200thb. But inside youll be able to find very nice latino music combined with new beats and a show of a guy playing live drums while the music plays. It has 3 floors and it has some nice cocktail Jars for around 300thb. They are very very nice and served very cold.
►Location: Silom Soi 4
