So our next Tweetup is scheduled for a SATURDAY this month to coincide with Bangkok’s first TED-related event, next weekend, February 13th.

The owners of Q Bar Bangkok have been kind enough to collaborate with us to make donations to Red Cross Thailand to support victims of the recent Haiti earthquakes, and they’re optimistic that we’ll raise about 100k Baht!

This promises to be one of Bangkok’s craziest parties this year.

Come mix with awesome international speakers and attendees of this exciting technology/entertainment/design conference, ring in the Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day, and help raise funds for Red Cross. Get there before 11pm for a special deal and you’ll get in for just 300 Baht (including 1 drink and 100 Baht donation .

Haiti Needs your help!

On Saturday, February 13th, Q Bar Bangkok in association with the International Red Cross will be holding a benefit to help support the hundreds of thousands of Haitian citizens whose lives have been affected by the disastrous impact of a 7.0 Earthquake. The International Red Cross Association will ensure that funds raised will go directly to those in need.

As many of us now know from various news feeds, the death toll for this catastrophic event may reach into the 100,000’s. The number of lives impacted through loss of homes, lands, jobs, and ensuing disease that could potentially wipe out everyone on this small island considered one of the poorest nations in the world.

Food and water and medical supplies are running short on the island and the situation there is “increasingly horrendous” Help is needed as this is a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation.

Now is the time, for those of us fortunate enough to still have homes, food, and water, to act. Much like Q Bar did back in 2004 to support victims of the tsunami, and 2008 to help the Burmese after the cyclone devastated Laos. Q Bar Bangkok would like to help raise funds and awareness for this crisis.

We will donate 200 Baht per paid entrance to help support the IRCA efforts.

In addition, guests are encouraged to make an additional personal donation into our Red Cross box and EVERY BOTTLE OF GREY GOOSE SOLD 50 Baht will be donated to the cause! Come join us and party for a cause on Saturday, Feb 13th.

800 Baht entrance includes 2 complimentary drinks (200 Baht as well as additional support goes direct to the Red Cross)

We’re back for 2010’s first kick-back tweetup!

THIS Friday, January 8th join us at 8pm again at Moddy Restaurant & Art Gallery near Ari BTS.

Come early because we’ll have cheap Singha beer on draft for just 80 Baht, and Moddy will donate about 70% of that to charity!

We’re looking forward to having some REALLY cool freakin’ people from around the world this week, so it should be good. See ya there!

Moddy is located on Ari Soi 4 North, a 5-10min walk from the BTS. See the map below.

Tweet it! Using #bkktweetup and see you there!

Directions to Moddy

Come out this Friday night, December 4th, starting at 8pm and going until late-night at Bangkok’s finest hostel, Lub*D.

20% of all your drink purchases will go to In Search of Sanuk to support volunteer and charity projects across Bangkok, and Lub*D’s “yellow donut bar” will again have the 2-beers-for-120 Baht special! (and hopefully those Heineken towers again too!)

Lub*D hostel is in Silom area on Decho Road, closest to Chong Nonsi BTS. See the map below.

Tweet to us (or about us) using #BKKtweetup and also download Foursquare on your smartphone and race me to being mayor of Lub*D! See you there this Friday!

We set the bar sales record for the second time—20% of all drink purchases were contributed to In Search of Sanuk, and we collected donations from individuals throughout the night to support ISOS’s various charity projects around Bangkok. On behalf of In Search of Sanuk, I would like to thank all of you for your generosity.

December’s Tweetup will be held on the first Friday, Friday the 4th. It’s coming up fast! We will announce the location in the coming weeks. Don’t forget to mark it on your calendar!

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!

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.

Let’s have a real follow Friday!
