We have a special deal going with food catered by the Bamboo Mexican restaurant (which is closed), but will be prepared & delivered to the Teak Garden.

The Teak Garden are agreeable if we stay there & drink beer by the pool or in the riverside restaurant, the Bamboo Mexican can provide the food from outside.

On a very special note for the Bamboo Mexican. They have been closed for several months, pre covid-19, to look after Jib the father who is seriously ill with cancer. So they need the business to continue to survive & look after Jib.

The Teak Garden hotel deal.
799 baht with breakfast with a garden view
999 baht with breakfast with a river view

I hope you all have a great time. Borders and work prohibit me from attending, but I vouch for Bamboo Mexican being a worthy recipient of your food-funding Baht.

Chiang Khong 24 June 2020 - a revised master plan.

There has been some issues with the F&B manager at the Teak Garden hotel now; such that Mim @ Bamboo Mexican will open the restaurant for one night for GTR.
Happy hour is still poolside at the Teak Garden.

The indicated number of attendees is huge for us

Mim is overwhelmed by the response, but is very happy for the support & looking forward to a crazy night with GTR.
She now will prepare 30 set meals
15 Chicken Burrito Meals
15 Chicken Fajita Meals
Nachos
Mexican Rice

Please yourself which one you want.
The price is 250 baht a head.
Please pay direct @ the Bamboo Mexican to Mim or Mai Bailey her assistant on the night.

Meals are to start from 6.30PM, but not everyone can get into eat at the same time.
You can eat your dinner at either Bamboo Mexican or the Chiang Roy Pub straight across the street..

If this Mekong Mexican nights works we could make it a monthly event.
Please give me your ideas & and thoughts on how it could work better.

Mim has done a lot of work to prepare for this dinner.
We need to be sure the 30 meals are paid for & consumed.
If anyone wants to tip Mim, please do so.
She will also have a couple of helpers on the night, should you fancy buying them a beer or two as well.

Thanks in advance to everyone for coming.
Make sure you enjoy yourself & have a pleasant evening.

All in all a magnificent night & effort by everyone who came.
No hassles, friendly & nice fun night.
