Starbucks Langsuan is the logical choice. Provided not university exam time or Sunday afternoons, it's reasonably quiet and possible to get seats. Londoner Pub is OK too at non-peak times, although discerning people prefer Bull's Head in 33/1. One thing to be said for the Suk 33 area is that there's lots of good stuff to eat (ramen, no less) in 33/1.

Of course there's always Cafe Ubuntu in Soi Saladaeng :).

The Londoner is larger and doesn't get as packed as quickly (avoiding peak times, of course). Bull's head is a superior pub no doubt, but is not great for a largish meeting.

At any rate, anywhere will do. When is this scheduled for? I'm figuring on heading to the islands later this week.

The Londoner is at the corner of Sukhumvit 33. Easy to get to. The Bull's Head is down Suk 33/1, very easy to get to by BTS. The Phrom Phong station exit is just in front of the mouth of the soi.

I don't know where the Langsuang Starbucks is, never been there.

There is the semi-weekly Beercamp meetup, which vaguely overlaps. It is largely composed of the English-speaking Barcamp community. Not sure if that counts.

Where is it announced? In particular, how does one find out where / when it is to show up?
