1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

Interest in a Pattaya Meet-up this month.

Discussion in 'General Thailand Vaping Discussion' started by PattsVaper, Aug 2, 2014.

    Get ya...
    I can remember the days when you'd get half way down Soi Diana Inn and that would be your lot, it was a dirt track, and just jungle after around half way down....The Lek Hotel was about the end of the soi in them days.....and there really wasn't a Soi Buakhao back then..
    Oh the memories....lol...

    If you haven't been down here for a few years, you won't recognize the place...

    An earlier time on Sunday, 31st at 1pm is okay by me too so it seems we're all in agreement.

    Yes V you're right, it's Soi Diana that you're thinking of and there's a nice hotel called Areca Lodge but I'm not up on room prices. The Sawasdee Hotel in Soi Buakhao is quite nice too and they have breakfast and dinner buffets.

    Rich Bar is nothing special, it's a quiet and unassuming place and nobody bothers you. Your family would be bored there and there's not much for them to do around Soi Buakhao as you probably know. I'd suggest that you walk them to Central Festival before the Meet as it's only a 10-15 minute walk away. It's a beautiful shopping mall with lots of eating places, shops and cinema. Also across the street from the mall is Pattaya Beach where they could stroll or sit in deck chairs under umbrellas and just chill out with a cold drink and watch the sunset.

    If you'd like I could meet you earlier at your hotel and walk with you and your family to Central and then we could walk back to Soi Buakhao. Just a little bit of exercise because I don't think you'd want to send them off on a motorbike taxi.

    It would be really great if you could make it to the Meet-up, we'd all be very happy to have "the main man" join us. :vaping::vaping::vaping:

    I remember them building that place, already checked the prices and wayyyyy out of my price range...


    They've always been a bit 'old' looking in the rooms, but always good with price and looks like it has a swimming pool too..might be the one..


    Sounds perfect...

    Unless my family are at home they are always bored, they hate being away from home....lol..

    Sounds like a plan...
    Oh, please remember guys I don't drink, no real reason just having 2 kids I need to be on top form, so I stopped drinking around 3 years ago...

    Not sure mate, my wife hates walking, and also it's hard for her to keep ontop of the kids alone, the 2 year old is a freaking hand full, and the 6 year old walks off a lot if you don't keep your eyes on her, she sees a toy and that's it, she forgets her senses...



    Hoping so too mate, our family is very tight, we do everything together, never do things alone or not together, always been like that, I have no other family around here, and neither does the wife, we're like a tight nit team....she's lost without having me there...So that's the only real problem I see, as long as there's a swimming pool, food, and TV in the room then they'll be fine...

    I am really thinking if I can get next Saturday off work, I know my Thai mangeress won't like it, but I might try to swing it....
    I'd rather do that than drive down in the afternoon on Saturday, i could drive down in the morning nice a steady and be all fresh for the meet...

    Then you'll have company V because I stopped drinking 25 years ago. The last beer I had was at the Meet-up last May and I had it over ice mixed with Sprite, in OZ they call it a Shandy but it might be called something else in the UK, I forget.

    Shandy's are perfect for an afternoon vape meet.
    It'll be good to see Ryan again, too. Bit of a break for him from setting up the new house.
    :very good:

    So we are all agreed, the new start time for the Meet-up is 1 pm.

    Sunday, August 31st - 1:00 pm
    Venue: Rich Bar, Soi Buakhao.


    With about a week to go I was beginning to think that interest in the Pattaya Meet-up was starting to wane and out of the blue our fearless Leader, V is going to grace us with his presence and Thailand Vapers' Super Guru, Ryan may be in attendance too! Very appropriate since it was Ryan who first touted the praises of his trusty Vapor Shark at the last Pattaya Meet-up. Now V and SD will be showing off their brand-spanking, new Vapor Sharks at the Meet-up to make us drool. :very good:

    What do you think Mash? This is great news man. Your suggestion of another Meet-up is bearing fruition and who knows who else may show up unannounced. :vaping::vaping::vaping:

    Looking forward to seeing some of you there. Any giveaways or prizes for something like a cloud chasing contest or fastest coil building? Just kidding! It'll be nice just to hang out, meeting and putting some faces to avatars and forum names.

    Oh and I just thought about that vaping convention in Texas where someone's mod blew up...cloud chasing contests are not something I'm really interested in though I do like lots of vapor production. :grin:

    Now I will be able to recognize someone in case I show up a little late. Thanks, Rowdy!

    Ha-ha! Not sure you will be seeing me produce anything particularly impressive - I think my lungs are still pretty shot from all the years of smoking but they are most certainly getting better. I'm so glad to have been able to get off of them.
