Thai Paneristi GTG Report - Be ready for 130+ pics :-)))))))))

It has been more than 1.5 year since we had last gathering and we had to also postponed our GTG earlier planned in December 2011 mainly because of the severe flood hit many parts in Thailand.

Fast forward to last week, May 9th, the Thai paneristis gathered up for our favorite GTG event. Even we had very few weeks to prepare and hence not very well organized, but I believe we can still deliver a FUNtastic evening to all members, more or less.

Apart from my compact GF1, I really have to thank you Mr.Thep (aka the rock) for his kind help taking pics throughout the evening and contributing his pics in this GTG report. You are such a top photographer and has wonderful sharp-shooter eyes. Without your photos, this report will not gonna happen, thank you so much m8.

Nuff said, ready for the fun ride?

Venue for the event was Club 99, locates at The Nine. I arrive there around 2:30pm and it was a quite afternoon as the GTG schedule will start in the next 4 hours





My trusted watch of the day, couldnt resist to take one snap with my afternoon drink at a very well know Starbucks



Few of early birds started to arrive and join





So, why not enjoying some table shots









Then we moved up to the place for preparation



Some environments before the place get more crowded





Thep (aka the rock), one of the best photographer and glad he help contributing his pics to my post



Name Tags, sign of many people coming to have fun



Registration table in front





And our members started of march in













We even had the media coming for interview and broadcasted the GTG on television!



Back to the members







I guess you all know who this guy is, I believe he permanently moves to Bangkok



Bill, coming from Dallas, just at the right time of our GTG










































Some of them couldnt wait and started their own traditional table shot



He seems to like it



Watch talk continues











It was getting a bit crowded at the moment



But seems like traffic got stuck at registration so I had to go out and check! What were they looking at??



Gosh, I know why it was so slow. Our staffs were really busy with two beautiful girls who were coming to help on registration, OMG!!!





Lets get back inside and leave them with their works











We kicked off with introducing moderator team and distributed so many giveaways from our supporters, including Bangkok Panerai Boutique, various strapmakers, vouchers from restaurants and hotels, etc











Question: Tell me the Panerai Model I am wearing





We had the winner



More giveaways were distributed to our members





























Everyone really enjoyed their evening as you can see, there were really amazing bunch of people. Cant believe that it is only the watch that brings us together













It took almost an hour to finish all giveaways



















Then it was the time everyone was waiting for, the TABLE SHOTS!!

We are so excited about making table shots this time as we used to have 208 watches back in 2008 and we also encouraged our members to enjoy the GTG and probably tried to break the record

I will leave the pics do their talk at this time

































































A very good example of a happy man



Here is the number of Panerai watches on the table at that night











The final group shots





At the end of the day, we had more than 200 members joining our latest gathering but the group shots were taken way too late and many of them had already left.

However, it was a really fun evening for all of us and everybody was having such a great time.

Thank you for following my post to the end. Hope you are happy and enjoy my report and enter new week with full of happiness.

Cheers!






Panerai....So Much More Than Just A Watch!!
