My plan was to provide some views over the weekend, but ended up spending 3 days driving (yep, driving) over more than 1,000 miles around north-east Thailand with the family ... all in a good cause.

Right, I think to keep things very simple for Sat night Hawker centre experience we need to depart as a group if possible, and the location needs to be relatively easy to find for other itinerants who turn up later.

I suggest the following:

Location: Maxwell Hawker centre (here and here)

Meet prior to departure at: Hotel Lobby - Lucky's ? (I haven't booked any accom for myself yet..)

Meeting Time at hotel lobby: 8.30 pm (Lucky and others will arrive SIN at around 7.00pm)

Transport to Maxwell: Taxi is probably best, depending on numbers

Latecomers. Independent travel to Maxwell Hawker Centre, between 8:45 and (..well, depends really) 9:30pm

Anyway, a starting plan is better than none. Lucky, if you know where you'll be staying - can you provide the hotel name so that we can use this as a meeting place?

Cheers, TK
