Eastern Seaboard Sundowners gets Soulful at the Hard Rock Hotel

Thailand’s Australian, American and British chambers of commerce once again joined forces for a combined networking evening on Friday the 22nd of June.

The venue on this occasion was the trendy new ‘Soul lounge’ at the Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya.

The general manager of the Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya, Jorge Carlos Smith was on hand to ensure that his team was taking care of everybody’s drinks; and the sashimi, pork dumplings and burgers filled those empty stomachs after a hard day in the office.

The speeches were relatively brief with the president of AustCham Thailand John Anderson thanking the staff & management of the Hard Rock for being such great hosts. In addition to a couple of bottles of wine given away to some lucky attendees, John gave an overview of what is coming up in the AustCham diary, details of which can be found on their website http://www.aust chamthailand.com

There were lots of familiar faces and a smattering of new guests, including Renee Rees and Dustin Hanna from Proven Projects and from the old school contingent were Paul Wilkinson of JVK movers, Stuart Daly from Pattaya Realty who was busy telling people about his sister company which caters for the commercial side of properties; as well as many others including, Jimmy Howard, Andy Hall of CEA Projects, Rosanne Diamente from Women with a Mission and her husband Michael who had to keep taking transatlantic calls from his employer Dana Spicer even on a Friday night.

There is no doubt that chambers coming together in such a manner helps boosts numbers, introduces different nationalities and if the organizing committees keep to the quality of the Soul Lounge of the Hard Rock, then this will encourage guest to come along and decide for themselves which chamber is best suited for them, in terms of doing business here in Thailand.

The details of the next Joint Chambers have yet to be announced, but will publicized in future editions of the Pattaya Mail.
