Mini GTG in BKK

If you're in Bangkok Feb 26th you're very welcome to join kuranosuke and me at:

6:30pm at lemongrass on sukhumvit, soi 24.

kuranosuke thinks you can use the bts, and get off at asoke or phrom phong station.

Yup, take the skytrain to the stop at Emporium, which is Phrom Prong. Enjoy! They have a fabulous eggplant dish that is one of our faves, smokey and good.

BTW, I did an online search to see what the BTS stop was, and found people recommending you get off at Asoke or Nana, then complaining how long the walk is...

For Ken's sake, make sure it's not vegetarian. I heard him say 'make sure they have meat'.

Enjoy. Wish I was there.

Hi kuranosuke - are we still on for tomorrow? What name is the reservation in?

BTW, I'm staying at Baan Sukhumvit on Sukhumvit Soi 18. Is that walking distance to Soi 24 or should I take a taxi?

Looking forward to meeting you.

"weather permitting" - that sounds ominous! What do you know that I don't?
