@twin:

The customers do love Iron Heart.
I like the rain pics a lot keep on posting more pics Giles

It was funny when it rained @twin we got soaked before we put the plastic raincoats on - and we were already sweaty - so they stuck to our skin, yuk!

Have decided after taking 2 x 20 km cycle rides in Bangkok in my stride I really should get my cycle out more often in Gosport

Amazing pics thanks for taking us virtually there

@Megatron1505:

Fantastic pics, this event is definitely added to my "must do" list.

when you all decide to go, i'll hop on a plane there. meet up is a must especially when most of you are +8hrs a time difference away.

@Snowy:

@louisbosco:

why does this year's event doesnt feel that packed? i remember it being much more crowded last year.

Looks more nicely spaced out this year IMO. Last year's photos look like a more crowded space, this year looks like each vendor has more space…which is a good thing

My rough sums make it 2x as busy…..

more space, more crowd, 2x as chaotic and busy. haha. it is a good thing though G. the fanfare there is amazing.

On our last day in Bangkok we popped into the latest (the ninth) Pronto store.  It is located in a new mall called Central Embassy, the architecture is brilliant…..

BAM

[big truck]

I was in Bangkok in late 2011 and I think Pronto had only store at that time somewhere near Siam Square. Must be doing something right! It was a pretty good shop even then. Their brand list is excellent now.

[Giles]

They opened their first store in Siam Square…

[big truck]

That will explain it then.

So hard to catch you guys in BKK. I'm going on the 20th this month. Damn!

[Madame Buttonfly]

@ronaldlsh very sorry to miss you, we will have to make sure we get something organised for 2015, it's been too long.

[Giles]

Keat has a great vid here….

Giles I travel to Thailand once/twice a year, always end up missing the Pronto Carnival  :(. Missed this one by about 4 weeks as we spent new year in BKK.
Ready to book some flights for later this year, any ideas on the 2015 Carnival dates yet? Determined not to miss this one!

[Giles]

I do not know I am afraid.  Let me see if I ca get an idea for you…..

[Geeman]

Cheers that would be appreciated. The wife has some serious retail therapy planned in Siam Square whilst I submerge myself in indigo…

[Geeman]

I got a response from Pronto that they have no planned date for 2015 yet, I'm booking flights at the end of the month so fingers crossed the dates match up around the end of October!!
