The 100+ years old association for Scandinavians and their Thai friends in Thailand commemorates its long history and many years of friendship with the Thai people by hosting the Thai-Scandinavian Winter Part & Golf 2008. Being the first event arranged outside Bangkok by SSS since 1920, it will take place in the royal seaside resort of Hua Hin — the Scandinavian long stay and tourists’ favourite Thailand destination — during the weekend 12-13 of January 2008.
With the winter party to be held at the Marriott Resort & Spa, Scandinavian Society introduces itself to the new large group of Scandinavians settling down in their second holiday homes.
Moreover the SEB Cup Elephant Trophy 2008 Regional Golf Tournament will be held as part of this peak season activity weekend where all ardent golfers can battle among themselves at the brand new top class (Swedish-owned) Black Mountain Golf Club, Hua Hin. Scandinavians from various golf sections all over Southeast Asia will also join this Winter Party & Golf event.
The new exciting Party and Golf event, with a fabulous evening party with a BBQ dinner to be held in the lush garden of Marriott Resort, followed by a late night indoor party to music from both live acts and disc jockeys and where the highly popular Swedish Bangkok-based mixologists from Flow will conjure up exotic and surprising ‘Tipple Thai’ drinks that they have themselves created. The evening’s energetic live band will be no less than Ericsson Thailand’s own Ericsson 3G-String Band, which promises stirring up the dance floor to hot temperatures. On top of that, a second DJ dance floor will add on to the hot dancing rarely seen in the seaside quiet resort of Hua Hin.
The evening winter party promises to be a memorable evening with lots of new faces among the old SSS members, in Marriott Resort & Spa’s wonderful setting.
