Thailand Get-together For Trip Advisor Members

---

Hello,

On Saturday 17th March, 20 TripAdvisor members met at a local thai restaurant 'Chuy's Thai' in North Adelaide for a get-together. Many of us have been chatting for months in the Thailand forums of Trip Advisor and decided it was time to meet up and share some thai food!

There were a few people that have been to Thailand (some many times over) and lots of new people about to embark on their holidays in the next couple of months.

Seven of us met at the Glenelg Tram Stop and caught the tram to the city, dividing into a couple of taxis for the short ride, while others came from all directions. The weather was so hot hitting 41.9 degrees during the day so we were all hot and sweaty by the time we got to the restaurant...

The restaurant had a small airconditioner and it would of been ok on a normal hot day but after days of high 30's with a couple of 40's thrown in it was like sitting in a sauna! The food however more than made up for it.

For entree we were given money bags, spring rolls and chicken satays... all of which were really nice. For mains we were given steamed rice, thai green chicken curry, stirfry vegetables in oyster sauce, combination seafood and chicken with cashew nuts. All the food was lovely with a bit of spice and pretty authentic. With the heat of the restaurant and the food we could almost have been in Thailand!!

After dinner some of us headed to the Oxford hotel for a couple of drinks, but it was hot and noisy so after a few drinks we opted to go to a local cafe, where we had some coffee, more drinks and gelati! Yum!

There wasnt anything too eventful, although I think we got some strange looks when we all first turned up and were introducing ourselves to each other, I swear we looked like some dodgy swingers or internet dating thing! All couples who obviously hadnt met before! It was pretty funny!!!

Anyway it was great to meet everyone and put a face to some of the names. I really enjoyed meeting those like Lee who had spent alot of time leaving me messages while I was travelling here on travelblog. Anyone up for another date some time?!?!?!
