I found what I was looking for. It so happens that it was the location that the last Hash was held . I forget the formal name but it is a govt. agricultural research facility.
It is reasonably central, easy to get to, easy to find, the camp ground area is somewhat isolated, on a lake, good parking, a reasonable covered area, adequate seating and tables, walking/hiking trail with great views for those interested before or after.eating, over night camping with security and lights for those adventurous souls, adjacent toilet and. enough elbow room for kids If a few people bring folding chairs, tables mats and an umbrella it should be more than adequate for most TVers, with one possible exception.
I still need to go through the formality of submitting a written request to the head guy but don't see a problem now.
A few pictures attached.
We were there on Sunday - lovely venue. It's the Chiang Rai Horticultural Research centre, just off the old ChiangMai road at keystone 5k.

Awaiting "official" approval.
it should also be noted that dindong again bravely volunteered to host if this does not work and Kd found a restaurant that has possibilities. though nothing certain.

The first CR TV Pot Luck Picnic is ON.  Sunday, 31 October at the Chiang Rai Horticultural Research Centre, Km marker 5 on the old Chiang Mai road. I suggest we eat at 13:00 but if anyone has an alternate time, please suggest. As stated before, you are welcome to come earlier to look around the facility or take advantage of the walking trails. If someone wants to bring a badminton set, that might be good as well.
Although not necessary, if you know you are coming or probably coming, it might be helpful to post what you are bringing to help other decide what to bring. No problem if you decide at the last minute to show up. That is the advantage of this kind of format. If there are 4 people or 40, it shouldn't matter. Just bring food and a smile.
The Center keeps asking if anyone will be camping overnight, I presume so they can provide security. So if you are thinking about it, let me know, otherwise I will tell them NO so they can quit worrying about it.
Bon appetitB)

I don't recall anything a westerner would consider a BBQ pit. Since it is for Thais I assume they would bring the little clay things or the 55 gal. drum type with them.
Everyone needs one of Kds BBQ pits although I am still trying to talk him into a smaller version.
If he comes maybe he will bring one for advertizing although it may take 4 grown men to lift it into a PU. Built to last.

I may bring a little portable LPG camping grill, just in case.

Additional directions.
The entrance is on the west side of the road opposite a large K-Tech sign. After you drive past the lake the road veers left then take the first right turn. Follow this paved road straight almost 2 Km to the end.

I'll be there but I think the wife is going to skip this one.
I'll be bringing pulled BBQ beef and buns for southwest style BBQ sandwiches, maybe another dish and I will bring a couple of two litter bottles of soda.

If anyone is going to be in need of a BBQ grill for heating their dish or cooking, let me know. I can bring a grill and charcoal for that purpose.

We will be there. Two people. We will be bringing some Chicken Korma I bought from SausageKing and we will be making rice. A couple of bottles of softdrink too. We will heat the stuff at Po' family house and hope it stays warm enough.

Good Luck with that weather Report Scorpio1945 Its persisting it down here in not so sunny Phayamengrai.
I cant make it this time, but while your all out and about can you see if you can find a suitable site for a stoneing.
I'm thinking a high wall something like the walls at the Old prison but not with Historical Value. Somewhere we can stone Off-topic posters to death for their Sins. It has to have a large open area for spectators , a stony area would be excellent.

I once knew butcher who backed into his meat-grinder. He got a little behind in his work.
Years later, I met a Chinese chef who backed into his meat-grinder. He got a little behind in his wok.

I will keep an eye out. It may leave TV with only 3 or 4 posters though. The bug up the butt people will have to bring their own throne like chairs though. .

Speaking of chairs, I have three picnic tables that will seat a total of 20 that can go if they are needed AND if someone has pickup trucks to take them in. My Suzuki isn't large enough to haul them.

There is seating for 12 around the 3 small tables and seating for 16 or so in the covered area for those that don't mind eating of a plate on their lap (me) I will bring a couple of folding camping chairs bought for this purpose and your previous suggestion of tail gate eating is quite appropriate for a picnic.
Don't be too nice, you will make the rest of us feel bad.
