The first part of our gathering commencing 24 October, 2013 is now full.

You are welcome to join us for our conversation commencing on 26 October, 2013.

Please plan to arrive on a flight into Bangkok which enables us to collect you from the airport no later than 10:30am on Saturday 26 October. Allow 90 minutes to clear customs. If you wish to arrive the night before we can recommend local accomodation.

We will begin with a day of prayer followed by conversation and friendship. The agenda will be shaped by participants and the survey undertaken by those who have expressed interest in these gatherings.

We will conclude at dinner on the 30th of November. Breakfast will be provided on the 31st for those who require it. The conference bus will depart Pattaya for the airport 8:00am on Thursday 31 November and you will be able to catch planes from Bangkok airport departing from 12 noon onwards.

We will be staying in Pattaya in twin share rooms. There are a limited number of single rooms available for an additional cost.

The cost includes all meals, transfers and accomodation.

Prices are in $US

There is no easy way to price an event such as this. We have no external funding sources for this event. We are seeking to subsidise those from the majority world. At the same time we realise that many people who may wish to attend, choose to live simply or are from the minority world but live the majority world and some countries have 'dual' economies with some living in majority world circumstances and some minority. We basically trust you! Please contact us if you have any questions.You can find the link to the World Factbook which list per person purchasing power at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html

If you are able to make a donation to assist others to participate you can do so at https://www.egivingsystems.org/19113 and choosing Mesa Network as the purpose of the gift.
