Pronto Denim Carnival 2016

[STAN]

Read the news that the Thailand King pass away.

Is the event still on ?

[A Former User]

Yeah I was about to ask the same. Any updates on the situation?

[Giles]

Yes, I am afraid it does….Here is a note I just got from the Pronto team...

Dear Respect Guests

We trust everyone has learned of the recent situation that fell upon Thailand on the afternoon October 13th. The local authority have declared no events or celebrations are to take place in the next 30 days.

Moreover, our landlord has requested we cancel all events booked for the next six months.

Everyone here including ourselves have made great preparations for PDC2016 which was meant to take place on October 30th - but it would be inappropriate for us to look at the possibility in setting this up during the mourning period of our nation's father.

With that, we would like to officially announce that this year’s PDC2016 will be postponed to a later date.

We are looking at rescheduling this to March 19th (the weekend after the next CCSHOW Yokohama) and will keep you posted on the final date. We hope for your understanding and would request everyone to share this mourning with the Thai people.

Kindest Regards
Chnanon and the Pronto Denim Team

Thanks for the latest info.  I was looking forward to meet the Jeans maker.  I'm going since I already bought the flight ticket. I try to make it next year.

Giles, the new products which will sell !?
Let's go to Tokyo or to Gasport.
Flights by change.

[louisbosco]

what are your plans after tokyo now G?

[Giles]

We are still probably going to go to Thailand.  We have non-refundable tickets and we have to be in Singapore early Nov anyway…..

We will be in Japan in about 8 days.

The PDC Jeans will be put on hold until the event in March….

[louisbosco]

oh cool. same situation here with non-ref tickets. so i'll message you about meeting up in bangkok then? i'll be in the same hotel as you guys anyway..

[Yury]

I'll be in 2 weeks in Bangkok.
I will be glad to meet you.
You can arrange a meeting at Pronto.
And then to lunch at a restaurant.

[Giles]

@Madame Buttonfly Paula, please can you let people know what we will be doing….

[Yury]

Excellent!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Giles is correct that flight tickets are non-refundable, but they can be changed (at a charge) so I am looking into what cost would be for a later flight to Thailand, and maybe we will stay longer in Japan.  Also, the hotel in Bangkok is fully cancellable so we have discussed the possibility of hiring a car and driving to the Gulf of Thailand to stay there for a few nights, it would certainly be great to do some exploring as we have seen quite a lot of Bangkok over the past few years (and hopefully will be back in March).  I am sorry that our plans are fluid at present, I'll confirm once I've examined all our options.

[louisbosco]

alright. do let us know curiously, when do you guys fly out to japan?

[Madame Buttonfly]

@louisbosco:

Of course!  We leave for Japan on Sunday 23rd October, arriving AM on Monday 24th October…

[dylantbmayes]

Shame I'll miss you guys this time. Been wanting to see Mrs G for so long!

[Giles]

Unless we have some business to do in Bangkok, and that depends upon Chnanons availability, we will head for the sea.  We'll have to work, so may as well do it somewhere pleasant - not that Bangkok isn't, but being stuck in the Marrriot is not that appealing….

[louisbosco]

@dylantbmayes did you have a trip planned to bkk?

@Giles taking the chance to go fishing as well???

[Giles]

No fishing…...

[dylantbmayes]

No trip to BKK… to humid for my liking.

I'll be in Tokyo early November, a few weeks after G&P and Danny from R&H
