-1 on so far from downtown, I think it'll really affect numbers, more than just screening casuals. People near the town center will resist going out so far, while people who already live out of town are used to coming in. KU seems reasonable, anywhere within a 30-min/100 baht taxi ride from BTS/BMT would be ideal.
I haven't been there, but isn't there supposed to be a big IT learning environment somewhere in (whatever they call what used to be the) World Trade center? How about the showcase space right in the middle of Pantip's ground floor? Now THAT would get a big crowd attending :) On Oct 23, 10:20 pm, "Arthit Suriyawongkul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > for Science Park / Thammasat / AIT campuses: > (these three places are in the same area) > > General info:http://www.sciencepark.or.th/http://www.tu.ac.th/ and > http://www.tpm.tu.ac.th/http://www.ait.ac.th/ > > Transportation: > by car, a little over an hour, from Victory Monument > by bus, No. 29, 39, 504, 510 > by van, 40 mins, from BTS Mo Chit station > > going within Thammasat campus and nearby Science Park > area is quite convenient with shuttle bus. > > Playground: > venues of talk could be meeting rooms/halls in Science Park > or function rooms of Thammasat/AIT students club. > > Beds: > as these three orgs share many facilities, > no matter where we have talks, beds are in proximity. > > as Isirya mentioned, NECTEC used to hosted an overnight CodeFest in > Science Park. > the size of participants is around 50 people. > > for size of 200+, > Thammasat Hall of Residence would be possible, > especially in school break time - late March. > contact Thammasat Property Management Officehttp://www.tpm.tu.ac.th/ > > AIT also has its campus hotel (more flexible, but more expensive). > > other options, plently of private dormitories around, > some of them offer overnight stay option. > > Drinks: > some in AIT campus, some near Thammasat campus. > it's more toward Thai university students style. > nothing like the Roadhouse or Indus, afaik. > > fyi, > @celerachan live/work in the Science Park > @tewson @thanr @idiotao @cholwich is in Thammasat campus > @moui can contact AIT people > > after all, while i'm very happy having BarCamp in > the (any) campus, attracting the youngs. > my feeling is strongly against anything to put BarCamp > into a classroom passive non-casual non-participating non-peer atmosphere. > > cheers, > art > > --http://twitter.com/bact --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Barcamp Thailand" group.
