Pot Black

Post by bobsboots »

Any snooker players out there? I remember, years back, that Bangkok had snooker halls all over the place. Are there any in PP? If so, anyone want to meet up for a few games and some beers?

What part of town are you in, Bob? I'd be up for a few games if anyone is in/around Boeung Tompun and knows of a place with tables - I think there's one behind Wat Sansom Kosal.

I'm up for it, but not on a school night! We should make a CEO event out of it. I've met one or two lurkers who need to come out of the lurking closet!
