We will be leaving form The PTT (Jet) Gas staaton on Koen Kean Highway first one on the left at 1000 hours on Friday the 20th. Makign a big Mac run while I'm there LOL

My understanding is Eagle riders will come up on Saturday Morning, I don't have their schedule yet. So again two ways to get there LOL.

We will be staying at he hotel listed in the message. I think Eagle Riders have anothre place they like. I will post their info when I get it.

See you on Khon Kean

Hi Folks,
Further to my message to Ray above, I can confirm that there is plenty of accomodation still available for Fri, Sat, at prices from 300 bht with AC.
Thats not the Orchid, as above where Ray is staying, that is filling up and is around 600 Baht. Eagle riders will be staying at the Rim Bueng Inn just by the town lake Bueng Kaen Nakhon. That is 300 baht or 400 baht with lake view. Rooms still available. Anyone in need and wanting help booking, please pm me or email for details
Look forward to seeing you in KK. Cheers, John

May go with you guys to see a bit of night life, will leave early though. Only thing I concerned about is pick up the key to the bike the wife puts a helmet on. Can't escape :lol: Might mess things up a bit so I will probably pass. We both like getting out of the cave :roll:

we will be stopping at a village school for lunch and the event committee will make a donation. Mihgt not be a bad idea to pick some class room supplies or something I suppose we can just chip in.

As John says don't have to but not a bad idea me thinks
