"Meet & Greet" Times, Day, Place & Ideas?

[Guest travelerjim]

Hello GT Members,

 

Recently there has been forum discussion about holding

Meet & Greet sessions in Pattaya.

 

In past years, the GayPattayan, our beloved Allen Briggs,

would hold a Meet & Greet for All...on the terraces of

Ambiance Hotel in Boyztown..the first Wednesday monthly at 3-5pm.

 

GP would post the meeting notice in his PG - Pattaya Gay Weekly Report...

and anyone in Pattaya was invited to attend - newbies and expats alike -

to meet among friends...and share their experiences and ask their questions

about visiting, exploring or living in Thailand.

 

Later on the Meet & Greet Sessions were hosted at the Thais4Life Bookstore

in Pattaya..again were held on the first Wednesdays of the month at 4-6pm.

 

Now, there appears to be interest again in holding NEW Meet & Greet

session and event opportunities in Pattaya...

and your ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

 

Please complete the poll questionnaire ...

select multiple choices as they apply to you.

 

The Meet & Greet sessions held would be on a

"pay your own check bin" event.

 

Thanks for your participation...

hope to see and meet you at a Meet & Greet SOON!

Sorry, won't likely be in Pattaya; however, should any of the clan be up in Chiangmai from the end of September to May, I'd consider buying a half a beer for at least some of you....

[Gaybutton]

I'm glad we're going to keep this simple instead of making it complicated.

[Guest travelerjim]

Please take time to enter your choices in the poll..

multiple choices to questions asked are welcomed...

 

Thank you!

I didn't vote in the poll but gave an my suggestion of what would maybe work in the other thread. I would probably rotate the place each month to keep things fresh. I am not sure how many people join this site each month but seems if it is a recurring party it will get the usual suspects after awhile. So rotating the venue would make it more interesting if it is largely the same crowd each time with a few new people trickling in.

I miss the option: "Not interested in a M&G."

Thank you joseph44...

 

Appreciate the reply...

Your vote choice is duly noted...

 

Enjoy your day!

I miss the option: "Not interested in a M&G."

Why would you need such an option? If you're not interested in a meet-and-greet, simply don't vote and don't go. What's the problem? The poll is for those who are interested in a meet-and-greet.

Exactly.

 

Other poll options which would be pointless include an option for people who aren't even interested in Gay Thailand.

Then the first question of the poll should be: "Are you interested in a GT meet and greet?"

Now you may have the impression that 24 voters are interested in a M&G and will actually show up.

[Guest lvdkeyes]

Why not have an option "Are you interested to have a meet and greet on Mars?

I am considering holding one of these Meet and Greets Next weekend. Anyone going to be around Pattaya?

[Guest TOQ]

I will be here. When, where?

I think a bigger response if people know where and when

I'm always here. They won't let me out. I prefer Sunee beerbars if that helps.

[Guest GaySacGuy]

I will be unable to attend. I am currently in Ubon, and probably won't be to Pattaya for several months...but if in the area, I would attend for sure.

Sure,

 

I'd love to meet up....

[Guest RichLB]

Count me in, too. Corner bar might be an ideal venue as they have hosted several such get togethers in the past. I'd also suggest this "Meet and Greet" be a casual one where everyone buys their own drinks and snacks.

Two things.

 

First it might be good to start another thread when GayThailand decides on the date.

 

Second, I suggest that RichLB buy the drinks...

GT...

 

I am in Pattaya...

set the date & time...

let's Meet & Greet

 

Noted that the poll shows greatest interest in...

 

Meeting at Corner Bar...

and for rotation to other sites in future Meet & Greets.

 

Sunday or weekends were also popular..

as I think some may be coming from BKK and

outside Pattaya.

 

Wednesday was the most selected day...

 

Happy Hours Times of 6-8pm was best.

 

Up to You! Let's party B)

The time 6-8 has been a good time to meet in the past. There is a certain crowd that goes to Corner Bar each evening and that maybe why some suggest it.

 

As an alternative, the new Cafe Music (Cafe Royale) may work out. They need the business since they just re opened and maybe they would be interested on advertising on the new owners' of GayThailand site. If I am around Boystown in the next few days maybe I will ask them. I will ask for a discount on there drink prices for that time (maybe they have happy hour prices). And then report back here.

Would anyone want to show up on Thursday the 26th around 6 pm for drinks at Cafe Music (Cafe Royale)?

 

PM...

 

I think that GT - in his recent posting -

was talking about hosting the first Meet & Greet...

 

GT stated that he was thinking about holding one..

on a weekend in Pattaya...

Maybe it is best to wait for GT to do it first...???

 

Then choose to set a second Meet & Greet ...

during the following week or two...

at Cafe Royale ???

I am truly sorry for the confusion I might have caused. I misread Gay Thailand's post. I misread the part where he said next weekend. I all ready sent him a PM explaining that.

 

When I saw "next weekend" I thought he was saying the 21st or 22nd as in (he lives next door). Since I had not seen many confirming posts I thought that maybe he had dropped the idea. BUT I WAS MISTAKEN! After reading it againI should have understood that he was taking about a future weekend.

 

I have no intention of hosting a Meet and Greet. I was going to pass on information about Cafe Music to anyone that might want to hold one. So please understand that there will be no Meet and Greet on the 26th unless someone else hosts one. I am not going to ask David, the manager about it.

 

I will wait until GayThailand post as to where and when he will have a Meet and Greet. I have sent GT a PM to apologize for what some might have thought from my post.

 

Thank you TJ for bringing this up.
