Hi John et al,
I'd be happy to attend a Bangkok meeting. It is probably 5-6 hours driving
to Bangkok from where I'd be, and I believe I will have work at that time,
so it would be best if it was on a weekend timed so that myself and others
have a chance to get there.
There is a Wikimedia Thailand Facebook group that sees a fair bit of use.
The discussion is generally in Thai, so I don't know what they are talking
about for the most part. :) But it would be a good route to get some
attendees.
I do have the option of a week's paid leave every year I am fairly sure.
Consequently, if I'm able and can get funding I am probably going to
attempt to go to Wiki Mania myself.

User:JJ_Harrison is going to be in Thailand next year.
I think we could organise a meeting in Bangkok for local people who cant
attend Wikimania.
It would be good to organise an event each year in an Asian country that
doesnt have a chapter, where international attendees are helped by the
locals but not like a conference where everything is taken care of - the
international attendees take care of their own bookings etc. This will help
those countries develop a core group who can start a chapter.
