or two (for the one designated hour) on the house and local supporters of Horizons Unlimited, see who is in town, trade tall tales and schmooze until closing.

Saturday is the official gathering starting with the BBQ. Both nights the restaurant is generally filled with travelers and local expats interested in overlanding or traveling in SE Asia, or around the world.

Show up early for a good seat, stay late for the biggest tall tales (like "I was the first to cross Myanmar on a 'big bike' wearing a speedo," or "My _______ (insert name of your make and model) motorbike has given me no problems at all," or.....)

This annual travelers meeting has always been a wild and fun two evenings and the location has long been the principal touch point for “bamboo telegraph” news in the Golden Triangle and SE Asia for travelers.



Photo below is the famed Rider's Corner Restaurant and Bar, our host for the two evenings. It's easy to find (the northeast inside corner of the moat), but car parking is hard to locate nearby - plenty of room for motorbikes though.
