Tooooooouuuuute petite semaine de Networking avec seulement 2 evenements : AustCham Sundowner Mercredi et EYP first Friday euh.. ben.. Vendredi.
Notez que cet EYP first Friday est une nouvelle idee :
“Taking place on the First Friday of every month, this is a great opportunity to meet your fellow professionals in the cordial atmosphere of some of the smaller venues Bangkok has to offer.
Our first First Friday takes place at the new, cool Bistro 33 on Sukhumvit 33 on Friday 3rd September, 6.30pm onwards. Entry is free but please note that numbers are limited so to avoid disappointment book here now.”
Pas sure que tout ca soit tres nouveau mais s’ils le disent… En tous cas le Bistro 33 est pas nouveau et a deja vu pas mal de soirees Networking.

Le nouveau metro aerien Bangkok – Aeroport a ouvert aujourd’hui
Le metro aerien qui relie le centre ville de Bangkok a l’aeroport international Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (“Bangkok Airport Rail Link”) a officiellement ouvert aujourd’hui (apres 2 mois d’essais officieux).
Voici l’article du Bangkok Post que je vous laisse decouvrir (en Anglais) :
SRT rolls out Airport Rail Link
The 28km Airport Rail Link begins full commercial operations today to reduce travel time between the inner city and Suvarnabhumi airport in Samut Prakan.
Cliquez sur l’image pour l’agrandir.
The rail link will charge promotional fares until the end of the year on its city and express lines. It expects to serve up to 50,000 passengers a day.
The service has been operating on a trial basis since June 1, attracting about 17,000 people a day travelling for free.
State Railway of Thailand (SRT) governor Yutthana Thapcharoen yesterday led an inspection of the rail link and its facilities to ensure it was ready for commercial services.
Mr Yutthana insisted the link “is definitely good to go”.
“It is the fastest rail system in the country,” he said.
“It is convenient and provides [a quality] service.”
Mr Yutthana said the SRT would ask the cabinet to raise the registered capital of a subsidiary firm to run the rail link from 500 million baht to 2 billion baht.
Transport Minister Sohpon Zarum is scheduled to inspect the rail link today to see if there were problems that needed to be fixed.
“I heard the train had a glitch and had to go back to Phaya Thai station,” the minister said.
“That kind of thing can make passengers miss their flights.”
Passengers using the City Line, the all-stops line, will pay a flat rate of 15 baht for a trip during the promotion period. The line, which operates from 6am to midnight, takes 30 minutes to travel from Phaya Thai station to Suvarnabhumi airport.
Those using the Express Line will pay 100 baht for a trip. It takes 15 minutes to travel from Makkasan station to the airport non-stop. It also operates from 6am to midnight.
Fares for the City Line will range from 15 baht to 45 baht, depending on the distance travelled, after Jan 1, 2011, while the fares on the Express Line would rise to 150 baht.
Passengers would be able to check in their baggage at Makkasan station for transfer to their airline once the service was fully operational.

Extrait de leur presentation sur leur site web : “JUSMAGTHAI is the U.S. Security Assistance Organization (SAO) in Thailand, as well as the in country OPR for all U.S. bilateral and multilateral military exercises and operations conducted in Thailand. The Chief of JUSMAGTHAI is the U.S. Defense Representative (USDR) in Thailand. In addition to its military chain of command, JUSMAGTHAI is also responsible to the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand. Unlike most SAOs, JUSMAGTHAI has primary responsibility, or otherwise directly supports, a variety of missions.

7-Eleven en Thailande
Difficile de passer a cote des 7-Eleven en Thailande, il y en a partout. Avec environ 5400 magasins 7-Eleven, dont la moitie a Bangkok, la Thailande se place en 3e position en nombre de magasins derriere le Japon (12349) et les US (5900).
Au depart, il s’agit d’une entreprise americaine, lancee en 1927 a Dallas, Texas.
Le nom « 7-Eleven » vient du fait que les premiers magasins etaient ouverts de 7h du matin a 11h du soir, un creneau horaire tres large pour l’epoque. Plus tard, en 1962, les premiers magasins ouverts 24h/24 verront le jour, mais le nom 7-Eleven restera.
Dans les annees 80 une societe Japonaise, Ito-Yokado , entre au capital de la societe qui detient les 7-Eleven et qui est alors en difficultes financieres. Petit a petit les Japonais prendront une part plus importante du capital pour devenir majoritaires au debut des annees 1990.
L’entreprise 7-Eleven est aujourd’hui une filiale de la societe Japonaise Seven & I Holdings Co.
7-Eleven est aujourd’hui present dans 18 pays a travers le monde, dont le Japon, les USA, le Canada, les Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, la Malaysie et la Thailande.
Cela represente 38 000 magasins (plus que toute autre enseigne, McDonald’s y compris), dont la majorite sont des franchises.
En Thailande, c’est le groupe Charoen Pokphand qui detient la franchise et la retrocede a des entrepreneurs independants.
Le groupe Charoen Pokphand est une des plus grosses entreprises de Thailande, proprietaire notamment de True Corporation (Telephonie mobile, Internet, Television par cable, etc.).
Dans un prochain article nous verrons comment et dans quelles conditions on peut acquerir une franchise 7-Eleven en Thailande. Restez a l’ecoute !
Jour sans Alcool

(sur la pancarte il faut comprendre : Pas d’alcool du 26 Juillet a 6h du matin au 27 juillet a minuit).
