No trouble, it was a bit naughty of me posting a straight hyperlink too. That would not be allowed in some places.

You very right David. which is the reason i pointed out that they are just ONE of the sponsors.
The event has been organised mainly by Chris from the Dragons Mc Thailand. Thanks AGAIN. Allan

I have been told that this area is a sort after weekend holiday destination for people so PLEASE, if you are coming book NOW.

We are going up again on Sunday to scout out some cheaper Hotels but they will be further from the bike week event.

Also limited camping will be available if you like that sort of thing biggrin.gif

Hey guys,
Chris asked if I could pass this update to everyone (his computer is having some problems at the moment).

The meeting point has been changed for the ride to Kanchanaburi, it is no longer at Future Park Rangsit. It is now down the road at the first major P.T.T. gas/petrol station on the left, heading in the direction of Kanchanaburi on Route 324.

The departure time is the same 10:45 am

Hi Everyone,

The DMCT/Thai Visa Benefit Bike Weekend is in Kanchanaburi this weekend 21 -22 November 2009. It is just around the corner. Only 5 days and counting.

REMEMBER this is for the Foundation for Children which is a registered charity providing schooling and care for Orphans or disadvantaged children here in Thailand. It's a chance to give back to this beautiful country many of us now call home, We are particularly collecting for Moon ban dek orphanage school in Kanchanaburi ; See here for FFC details www.ffc.or.th

FFC rely on donations and help like ours, because they get NO money from the Thai Government.

If you would like to attend, please look at the accommodation on this page. http://dragonsmcthailand.com/InfoPage.html


If you cannot attend you can make a simple donation through:

http://dragonsmcthailand.com/ATM_Donati ... _Week.html

Remember that even if you give just 50 baht that it all adds up

(Example, 100 forum members giving just 50b = 5,000b extra for the kids).

Foundation for Children is in need of your help…. Bikers and Non Bikers are invited to attend the event or help with donations.
