Let’s put Bangkok on the map for places with people working together to do good. The world is watching, tweet it loud!

Last month’s Tweetup featured @simplyshimona harmonizing the night away.

Thanks also to @martinperry for snapping great shots.

The  tweetup drew about 80 people and together we raised 6,400b, mostly from people’s donations.

The money raised helped make some special moments for underprivileged kids the following week.

The funds you donated helped take kids from the ISOS project teaching in the slum to see the Harlem Globetrotters at Impact Arena (Details and more photos will be posted on insearchofsanuk.com soon). Be proud and see you at Twestival!

In case you missed this hi-so event here are the highlights from the keynote speech:

A. The Tweetups are full of inspiring people

B. It will never get classier than your own VIP section on the street

C. There is a fine art to not falling off those plastic stools after knocking back a few “quart yaiis”

D. Damn it feels good to be a gangster

August we’re getting upgraded a few meters off the street to the Coco Walk, where we’ll be serenaded by @SimplyShimona!

Who: You and all the other cool people. Tweet it using the hashtag #bkktweetup

When: 7pm, Saturday, August 15th

Where: Coco Beach, Ratchathewi BTS Exit 4 (see map below)

Food: Delicious 200B Buffet

Mysterious Liquids: Cheap Beer & 200B Jugs of Kamikaze or Joy Juice (20% goes to In Search of Sanuk)

We had a fantastic group at Tweetup #2 this past Follow Friday. Here are some photos from Buongiorno Wine Bar. Big thanks for all the fun and  for supporting our Urban Garden Project.

A total of 5,280 Baht was raised for In Search Of Sanuk charity projects! Thanks to those who joined that aren’t on twitter yet. When you join you’ll have plenty of friends to follow. The urban garden project is beginning! Click here for more.

You’re invited to the first BKK Tweetup for Charity! We’ll share dinner & drinks and meet interesting people from around Bangkok. A portion of proceeds will be donated to our BKK Urban Garden Project!

The venue is a great little wine bar on Ratchawithi Soi 2, a 15 minute walk from the Victory Monument BTS station. Exit 3 or 4 on the BTS and take the skywalk towards the monument. When it forks go right, and go down the steps in front of the Fashion Mall (across from Center One). Follow the street to Soi 2 and walk down the soi until you see the restaurant on the left side.
