Totally.

I'm already booked thru April so my next avail timeframe is next June... if that works for y'all.

Certainly works for me, I’m pretty much in the same boat, booked up to mid-May right
now.

Following along with interest. I'll let those with more flexibility and padded mileage accounts sort out the details first.

Works for me - though I am quite flexible. I have caught the curse of my wife and have, involuntarily, become a last minute planning person :(

Adding a little fuel to the fire, reading back it feels like we have two distinct groupings of potential attendees, Europe, and SE Asia….. and from the poll the majority of potential attendees are dependent on location.

2 DOs? Back to back?

I'd be happy to go to SE Asia but it's a big expense... Unless a great deal shows up for the right dates, it's not easy to justify.

Can also people who are too lazy to write TRs join this DO(s)? 😁
There are a lot of places in SE Asia I haven't visited yet (e.g. BKK), so wouldn't mind going there

Yes of course. Anyone who is a member of FT can attend this...:tu:

Is it 'just' a Do... or might you host some sort of travel writing workshop with, I dunno, eightblack and Michael Palin? :D

A pity Anthony Bourdain is no longer with us. Perhaps he might have been interested too!

In any case, for the purposes of a trip report, at least one slightly more obscure place would be of benefit in either Asia or EU.

Will be interested date and place pending! As much notice as possible please.....eg a year would be great!

If you (or anyone on here really) happen to pass through BKK, I would be happy to meet up for a beer or three - DO or not :)

Do or do not, there is so Chang.

It has been quiet in this thread, so I suggest something to liven things up. How about organising The Trip Report DO in Bangkok next year?

I have already found two volunteers willing to help (more volunteers are always welcome).

I'd love to hear your suggestions (either by replying to this post or you can message me directly):
1. The Date(s) for the DO
2. Activities (ideally related to flying :) )

1. November ‘25?
2. Strangely all I can find is avaiation related alcohol ;) 747 Cafe? flight24bkk? Try contacting Thai Airways marketing? Suvarnabhumi PR?

November ‘25 is a long way away, and so is BKK for a lot of FT members, so I’ll throw an additional idea into the pot (additional, not alternative, who says there should only be one DO :) )

Any interest in Sinsheim and/or Speyer in, maybe, June so that the weather is hopefully decent for both outdoor exhibits and beer gardens?
