Venue is OK, but car parking is a nightmare. Used to be able to put yor car in Nirun, but Nirun is one big car park now

And the roads full of stalls does not help. Small car park at the Shagwell itself too. But isn't it like that in most of Pattaya?
3 cars outside my place last night but not a problem as I use the m/c taxis to go pubbing.
Next time it would be better to bring a m/c or take a m/c taxi especially as this is expected to be a Bi-monthly event.
Will you please publish the date of the next one I was out of the Country and missed it this time. Thanks.

In Topic: Bangkok-Chiang Mai High Speed Rail Ready By 2018: Transport Ministry

Gand I am in China at the moment on business and I took the high speed train 2 days ago. A normal 5 hour ride took 2 on the HST this gives me more time to visit customers and is a big plus for business. The cost was 75 Yuan around 7.50 GBP, so very cheap. The standards of the trains in my opinion is very high, akin to travelling in a plane. The carriages are comfortable and clean, no rubbish and graffiti like we see in the west. I really do not see a down side to this.
Bring it on Thailand.

Seems like this is really taking off.
WIKI.

Proposed high-speed links to Europe and South-East Asia

China is in negotiations to build a continent-spanning high-speed rail network with destinations as far away as London and Germany, within the next ten years. Chinese railway consultant from China's Academy of Engineering; Wang Mengshu, said the 8,157 km (5,069 mi) journey (from Beijing to London) would take just two days to complete, traveling at speeds of up to 345 km/h (215 mph). Mr Wang said that China was already in negotiations with 17 countries over the rail lines, which will draw together and open up the whole of Central, East and South East Asia. Mr Wang said the network would also allow China to transport valuable cargoes of raw materials more efficiently.
Mr Wang said; "We have also already carried out the prospecting and survey work for the European network, and Central and Eastern European countries are keen for us to start," Mr Wang said. "The Northern network will be the third one to start, although China and Russia have already agreed on a high-speed line across Siberia, where one million Chinese already live." A second project would see trains heading north through Russia to Germany and into the European railway system, and a third line will extend south to connect Vietnam, Thailand, Burma and Malaysia.[18][19][20][21]

Maybe 6 years could be possible!

Shades of the autobahns.......

But I guess they've got to spend some of their vast currency reserves on something.
Never the less Beijing to London in 2 days would be awesome.
