What do you think about Christmas meeting next month in ROCKY'S place "cafe connection" ?
24/12/2009
christmastree presents3
Please post it here to confirm you're up to the "Christmas bash" confused4 at Rocky's.
-
OK, I admit I am stupid. Where is Rocky's one the map? jumping8
-
Rockey is the owner, the name of the place is "CAFE CONNECTION" (Restaurant number 6, See menu on the left side on the map it's on Jira road).
See map here:

So, Are you coming?
-
Have you checked with Rocky? Last time I saw him he said he was going away for Chrstmas.
-
That's why we make it on the 24th. wave1
Confirmed with Rockey as well. presents3

Many people will have Xmas/New Year plans already booked.
I would suggest the 'turnout' may be better a short time away from those dates.
I wonder what the esteemed Social Director has to say (TGWM)
Dave
-
I agree with Dave. Christmas Eve -many of us have other plans including playing Santa for the kids
Might I suggest 2 days earlier - Tuesday 22nd December

Mmmmm Bet you checked the Buriram Expats Cullinder for that idea happy2

Private messege has been sent to our Official SOCIAL DIRECTOR TBWG biglaugh
Let's set the date together.
Do you think 22nd will be the best for it? or maybe we better move the meeting few days AFTER christmas?? newargue

Hi Guys,
I'll be in Buriram hopefully by the 15th December for about a week, and then I'm off to Cha Am for Christmas and then back by about the 27th December. Will there be a meeting of some sort between say the 16th and 21st Dec? If so let me know, I'd like to put a face to the names I've been talking to (via the internet).
regards
Tony

Hi Bums
My two pennoth! Most people have family commitments Christmas & New Year so personally I think a few days either side of those should be avoided.
However, someone suggested 22nd but Khun Tony can only make 21st Dec so maybe it could be 21/12 if OK with Rocky?
Myself, I will be out of Thailand early in new year (Visa run).
Must admit it would be nice if Prakonchai Nick attended in Father Christmas outfit! christmastree ( note to self... bring camera ... blackmail opportunity!)

Hey TBWG,
If you don't mind me asking and I won't be offended if you dont reply but what kind of visa do you have that requires you to make a visa run and how often is that.
In respect to getting together for a drink. If it's more suitable to hold a function later that fine, but if you hold it on the 21st or earlier, I'll be there. As I said it would be nice to put some faces to names. I mean I've probably seen some of you guys over the years but have never said hello.

Hi KT
I have a multi entry O visa so have to report every 90 days, But I usually take the opportunity to get out of the country for a few days on a cheapie flight or just drive to Laos.

How far is Laos from Buriram? How long does it take by road and is there much there at the border crossing?
-
You can find some information about the trip to Laos borders right here:
http://www.buriramexpats.com/visa-run/
Mukdahan province is the closest Laos border to Buriram (so I think) and Mukdahan is quite dead city at night.
there are some night life but nothing to talk about.
Maybe TBWG can enlight us about this area.. scatter
*Regarding to the meeting; Can be 21st only if will have enough takers and people to come, I thought it would be nice as it's exactly the time when more foreigners coming to visit the area/Buriram and Surin, so it might be a good opportunity for all of us to meet each other and as somebody said, see the faces behind the "nick names".
Make a choice and let's roll it.. alcoholic

A definate maybe for me. I get to BKK at midnight on 19 Dec so should be in Buriram on the 20th. Subject to being enticed elsewhere. party4

When things are finalised, I will 'drum up' the troops in Surin but let our beloved Social Leader post details in Surin site. TMWG> it might be worth printing a couple of posters to put up in TimeOut for Ray's party, its bound to be heaving with farangs.

Thanks for the tip, I found Coffee Connection (6) but initially it was had trying to locate the number, perhaps they should marked in colour so they really stand out like the yellow colour below. The boxes in which the numbers are in could be coloured, it just helps the older members.

Hi Bums
As you are no doubt aware I am the Hon Social Secretary (Unpaid) of this forum! Now it may have crossed your mind that such a worthy position warrants some sort of unsolicited reward and consequently you may have been considering presenting me with an Xmas gift at Rockies Christmas bash..
I have to say that I wish to discourage any such obvious signs of gratitude so as not to embarrass those who have not been so thoughtful. newargue
I can however upon request supply details of my bank account should you wish to transfer shedloads of Baht for me to blow on booze and girlie's!!! love2

Hi Bums
Well the 21st is fast approaching and a turnout of 25 + is expected for the Big Bums Xmas Bash! christmastree
Rocky is obviously expecting a riotous time as it is rumored that he is closing for the following 4 days to recover!
By the way there is an Xmas tree there and any toys donated for the local orphanage can be left under it and will be much appreciated by the kids! presents3
