Ongoing Thailand Meet a Flyertalker Thread [PRE-2015 ARCHIVE]
Bangkok is a popular spot for FlyerTalkers.
Instead of starting a new thread everytime, I thought we could have a hodgepodge of posts that could serve as stimuli for meetups.
I'm currently home in Phuket, not planning to be in Bangkok until New Years (Dec 30 - Jan 2), but I know others will have oportunities to grab a bite, a beer, etc between now and then.

I live and work in Bangkok so am generally available.
Also if any are pressed for accomodations I could probably find some decent short-time 1-br units for ~ 1,000 THB per day.
Friday, Dec. 5 is a holiday (King's birthday/father's day) and Wednesday, Dec. 10 is a holiday (Constitution Day).

As mentioned previously if a do is organised am happy to attend. Am currently staying at New World Lodge Hotel. Fairly cheap, about 1300 Baht including breakfast. Agoda seems to have the cheapest on line rates.

My upcoming Bangkok dates are December 16-19 and December 30-January 3. I am generally available during those visits, particularly the first one, when Mr. Megatop will be working.

Perhaps seanthepilot could use the first post in this thread to keep a running list of dates as people post 'em, sort of like a lounge-meets thread, so we can see and easily line up overlapping dates? Just a suggestion. I know lounge-meets threads that (e.g., SQ forum) have a running tally like that yield better results than those where people just post dates and places (e.g., DL forum).

Good idea. I tried plugging in peoples dates above.
Looks like mid Dec has a few dates that coincide with everyone's visits. Advise me on the dates and place, and I'll fill in the blanks.
Also started Dec 30th... but i have no preference on location so far.
I'll try to keep the 1st post as updated as I can. Is it people's opinion that once the dates have passed, the posts can then be deleted? Let me know. I'm good at following instructions

Yeah, that's a good idea to keep the first post clean. I'd be up for something on the evening of December 30th. And December 17th or 18th would work too.
