15th November 2024
We have a venue!!!
The venue we have chosen will fit up to 6 WiF sized tables. Of course if we have a large influx of travellers then we might need to find an additional space or a larger conference room.
The venue is a meeting room above Dom Pizza which is a mixed French / Italian / Thai restaurant in the Phra Tam Nak district just south of Pattaya. The venue has 12 rooms for accommodation on site ( .
We're not taking bookings yet, while we sort out payment methods.

Everyone will want to visit Moo Deng while in Thailand, especially kids. She can be seen at Khao Kheow Open Zoo which is not too far from Pattaya.
I have plans to run a beginners' game of World in Flames at the event if I get sufficient interest. Use the expressions of interest form on the home page if you are new to WiF and want to be included.

We are fairly close to booking a final venue for the convention, we are just conducting some negotiations with various venue and accommodation options.
