Brad I've sent him a message asking where he'd like to go, i thought since it was MY birthday, the choice of location would be mine. Anyway I'll still be in Sunee about 5.30 and happy to buy a drink if anyone is around at Green Chairs, then I'll head off to where HE wants to go. He doesn't finish school until about 8pm, as far as I know.
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
Apparently he teaches massage. He's sent me a couple of photos.

Cool. I've met tonnes of westerners studying massage in Chiang Mai. They can make good money back home apparently. I think in Singapore a Thai massage starts at around $50.Originally Posted by joe552
Yes, but he lives in Pattaya year round, doesn't he? And if he sees himself as of "a higher status" than the guys who hang out in Sunee, or aspires to be seen that way, he could risk that for your reunion. It is possible that the guys that you are seeking to meet again may be less enthusiastic about the prospect than you are. Put yourself in their shoes.......

Interesting perspective, Brad. Just to add my two satang...also, it could be a bit uncomfortable? when the other person, whom they haven't seen in a long time, seems overly enthusiastic. They don't know what to expect and what you expect from them and Sunee Plaza, with all its connotations, is just added pressure.
Why must it be Sunee Plaza, Brad? Why not some "safe", quieter place in a shopping mall and drinks later with your farang friends in Sunee, with or without your Thai friend? I mean wouldn't you want a bit of privacy while you catch up? Do you really want all those busybody farangs with no lives eavesdropping on your every word, now that this meeting has been publicised and free drinks proffered?
sglad it's me not Brad who''s meeting the friend. Brad, I',m taking your advice and will meet him at a venue of his choosing.

Can't you guys do all this by PM?
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
This is Thailand!
I wont be in Thailand but you have me on edge now about the whole thing.
The tension is getting to me and everyone else I think.
What will we all be like on the day before the Big Day?-nervous wrecks.
If you wire him some money the day before you will probably get a pair of socks.
If you don’t it will probably be Mangos from the family tree or whatever is in season but it’s the thought that counts.
I’m scared shitless that he’ll turn up with nothing or maybe not at all.
And it’s not even MY birthday.
