Calling All Bangkok Tweeple

Tweetups are hosted every 2nd Friday of the month. This is a laid back time to meet your favorite Bangkok twitter personalities and hang out with no character limit. Everyone is welcome! Twitter users and soon-to-be-converts alike.

STREET-UP JULY 10th

The next tweetup is July 10th and we’re taking it to the street! Get this, we’re being hosted by a Bangkok street vendor that’s been around for more than thirty years. This place, little known to foreigners, is also said to be Bangkok’s fastest meal. What can you expect? The cheapest, most laid back tweetup yet.

What’s great street food without a lack of visible signs or english menus?

We’re meeting  at 7pm at The Microphone (what we call this place because there is no english sign).

July 10th Street-up

You’ll find a space reserved for us at the back. With a few dishes you normally can’t order. Tweet it! #Bkktweetup!

June Events Wrap-up: A Taste of Sri Lanka & LUSH Green Night Out

For June, we combined forces with some Couchsurfers to celebrate World Refugee Day 2009 with A Taste of Sri Lanka.

The combined Twitter/Couchsurfing Sri Lankan dinner turned out to be a very successful event. There were about 80 people in attendance to enjoy the authentic Sri Lankan feast prepared by refugees. After all the expenses, we raised about 10,000฿ ($300). You should be proud! Thanks to the Lub D staff who provided a great atmosphere! In Search of Sanuk used the funds from A Taste of Sri Lanka to start an account with the Bangkok Refugee Center to support the medical needs of asylum seeking refugees. Special thanks goes to Hyunsook Sooki Ji who together with her coworkers at ING Life donated over $100 to this cause

On June 19th In Search Of Sanuk worked with Green Networking Days Bangkok to co-host the LUSH party at Frasier Suites.

We want to make Bangkok greener and while doing so provide a service to the urban poor. We raised about 35,000 baht at our LUSH party: Bangkok’s Green Night Out. Now we’re working to connect with communities around the city to offer them a space where they can grow vegetables, spices, and herbs in their neighborhood. Read more here.
