Have had to cancel BKK this november as I broke a finger in my left hand last week in Chicago and had to have surgery. May be in BKK around Feb 18 to 26 or next November.

BKK: 11/27 – 11/30/05
BKK 12/3-12/5

Simpsonc502: I think we owe you a drink!

Guenmai: Are you going to the Thai Handicraft
Sale on 12/17 at Bumbargard Hosp?

Kathie, Lyndie, Gpanda, think our trails cross

Hope our trails will meet.

Lyndie Oct 27th, 2005 11:48 PM

Isis-What about Dec 26? We are at the Westin Grande. Love to catch up. Let me know if date suits.

IsisMnroe Oct 28th, 2005 12:15 AM

Lyndie: Mon, Dec. 26 sounds great! There would be two of us, me and DH Russ. About what time that day?

Gpanda Oct 28th, 2005 02:19 AM

The Gpanda group will be in BKK on 12/26/05. I will check with them to see whether I am free that evening. We're at the ROS.

We're planning for end of Nov. 2006...

Clifton Oct 28th, 2005 05:02 AM


In BKK 1/14/06 - 1/19/06. I can hardly wait!

glorialf Oct 28th, 2005 06:09 AM

So it looks like so far Carol and Clifton are both in Bangkok when I'm there. Where are you two staying? I'll be at the Oriental.

Kathie Oct 28th, 2005 06:49 AM

Isis, it looks like we'll cross paths briefly in BKK. Maybe we can get together for lunch or something. I note that it will be the end of our trip and the beginning of yours, so we'll have to take your jetlag into account.

IsisMnroe Oct 28th, 2005 09:38 AM

Hi Kathie, we can play it by ear.
Re the tailend of your trip, hard to do everything in Bangkok in 3 days!!!

FromDC Oct 28th, 2005 11:39 AM

I'll be in BKK nov 27-29, IF I can get away from the crisis at work. Staying at the Oriental.

simpsonc510 Oct 28th, 2005 02:22 PM

Gloria, Clifton
I don't have any reservations at this point, but will probably be in a serviced apartment at the Omni once again (but that's not cut in stone). I'll know more later. I do look forward to meeting in BKK!

IsisMonroe:
Wow,what a long vacation....can we go with you guys lol? Are you going to visit your old stomping grounds in Vietnam? Hope you and Russ have a great trip!
Aloha!

Kathie Oct 28th, 2005 02:49 PM

Isis, yes, let's play it by ear. It would be fun to get together!

Lyndie Oct 28th, 2005 03:50 PM

Isis,gpanda-early evening drinks somewhere and maybe a casual dinner if time permits. Let's be flexible! I'm going to ask a friend from BKK where he'd go for a drink with mates & perhaps great snacks later. We are not big hotel bar types. Prefer small intimate pool halls with lots of lady boys!

gilawi01 Oct 28th, 2005 06:41 PM

After making some changes on my orignal plans,we will be there from Feb 13-18 and Feb 21-March o2.

IsisMnroe Oct 29th, 2005 06:25 AM

Lyndie: We're very flexible. Maybe Guenmai will be in town, if no jury duty.

HawaiianTraveler: Yes, meet us in
Vietnam! You and Linda would enjoy the wonderful, delicious food in Hoi An.

Glorialf - I will be staying at the Sheraton Chiang Mai New Year's Eve and not sure what is happening in the city or hotel for the occassion. Information? Thanks. chrphd.

glorialf Oct 29th, 2005 08:48 AM

Most hotels have some sort of mandatory dinner. I arrive in the evening of Jan 1 and while I've spent NY Eve in thailand it's always been in Bangkok.

I stayed at the Sheraton in Chiang Mai on a number of visits. The last time, we asked for upgrades to a suite and WOW was it NICE!! I don't remember how my difference the price was, from a regular room to a suite, but I'm sure it was minimal. You might ask!!!
