A Big "Welcome to Bangkok" to Our Out-of-Town Guests!

Welcome Out-of-Town Barcampers!

Let Us Know You Are Coming!

Please let us know if you are coming to town so we can treat you well!

Email us back and let us know:

  • Your arrival / departure time
  • Your hotel / where you are staying (or ask us for suggestions!)
  • Contact Info (phone / IM so we can greet you.)

Contacts, if you need somebody that can assist via phone, call John Berns (081-258-3580 local, +66-81-258-3580 Int'l) or Sajal Kayan (081-540-7408 local, +66-81-540-7408 Int'l) and we will be glad to help.

Phone SIMs

You can easily buy a phone SIM at any small phone shop—and they are everywhere. Every department store, every mall, every block has a small phone shop. They are less than 100 Baht (US$ 3) and you can top up for as little as B50.

If you want to get EDGE/GPRS data service, buy a One-2-Call SIM, it's easy to set up and you can get 20 hours of EDGE/GPRS for B100. To subscribe, just dial *138 and follow the voice menu.

Thursday Night: Beercamp!

Beercamp is a Barcamp Bangkok tradition. We take great pride in tradition--and beer.

Some of us get together every other Thursday and, well, drink beer! We also talk geek stuff too.

Tonight we will be having Beercamp at La Moon Restaurant & Pub, near Victory Monument. Come join us!

Friday Night

Friday night we will have a meet up to greet the out-of-town guests for Barcamp. We will meet for dinner and drinks at 8:00 at the Singha Beer House on Asoke, about 600 meters north of Sukhumvit Road. It's close to the MRT/Subway (Sukhumvit station) and Skytrain (Asoke Station). Just exit the station find Asoke and walk about 600 meters north, it's on the left hand side, lots of lights, a big sign and an outdoor beer garden.

After dinner, about 10:00 we can decide where else we want to go. Again, call me or Sajal if you need to find us!
