Thai Visa Party Rocks Chiang Mai


On Saturday the much awaited Thai Visa BBQ was held at Tuskers and it lived up to and exceeded all expectations. People came from far and wide to meet the real people behind the avatars, not just regulars from the Chiang Mai forum but others travelled from Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and even from Kunming in China.

The packed house enjoyed the generosity of over 4 hours of free beer courtesy of the world’s number one expatriate internet forum as well enjoying a fantastic BBQ. Buckwheat’s extraordinary ribs and beans were as good as their legendary reputation! We were also grateful for the unexpected but welcome arrival of free pizzas from the Duke’s restaurant and some late night burgers and kebabs from Woody’s.

The party ran on into late into the night and after formal proceedings finished spawned a dozen late night gatherings in favoured waterhole throughout the city. There is no doubt that Thai Visa caused a big boost in the takings of bars all over town.

A great night was had by all and Tuskers would like to thank Thai Visa and for such a great night and for their wonderful support. We would also like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped in many different ways and all those who came and made it such a huge success.
