The famous Wies’n (i.e. the original Bavarian Oktoberfest in Munich) ended over a week ago, but the InterNations Bangkok Ambassadors Akiko Kagaya and Carlos Amoruso simply decided to have their own ‘Oktoberfest’ in Thailand on the evening of October 9. Instead of a beer tent, the chic Gazebo rooftop bar served as a venue; a welcome daiquiri and complimentary fingerfood, Thai-style and tapas, replaced the beer with sausages and pretzels. Unfortunately, none of the guests was daring enough to don a Bavarian costume as fancy-dress, as Akiko and Carlos had jokingly suggested; however, the fun factor was definitely the same.

Or, at least, it did for those among our members in Thailand who were longing for a lively and passionate kind of Get-Together. On September 19, InterNations Ambassadors Carlos Amoruso and Akiko Kagaya invited them to a special event ‚double feature‘ at Dream Hotel’s Flava Bar. After two hours of networking, with complimentary canapés and ‚two for one‘ drinks, the dancing instructors from Latinos Sabotaje – a well-recognized Latin event organizer – got the guests … well, not quite rocking, but most certainly dancing. The excellent free Salsa workshop proved a welcome opportunity to herald the weekend in full swing.
