Venue Maps and Info - Road to STEEMFest Planning Catch up

Where are all the venues for STEEMFest in Bangkok and how do you get to them? What time do we need to be there?

I do this type of map thing for myself when traveling and you can use it too.

All my maps are for public transport. If you want to take Grab or a taxi you are on your own since I don't take them or have info for you.

I'm taking my information from the steemfest.com site and @roelandp's recent posts.

Conference Hotel

The Prince Palace is attached to the Bobe or Bobae Market on the canal. This is easier to use on map searches than the hotel itself.

Check in at 3 pm Wed for your badge at the hotel.

Drinks are at the hotel from 8-10 pm Wed.

Your best way out from the hotel by public transport is to take the Canal Boat from the market stop to BTS Ratchathewi all the way to the right on this map.

That station will get you wherever you want to go.

There is a place called Yelo House near there if you want to see the Inktober winners. You can see it before or after the boat ride.

Day One

The Day One Venue can be reached on the BTS train from Ratchathewi. Kamthieng House Museum is at both the Asok BTS Station or Sukhumvit MRT.

Be there by 9 am Thurs.

Close up of the venue area. Two cool malls are there if you want to shop. Terminal 21 and Interchange 21.

Day One Bowling is at Blu-O Bowl in Siam Paragon Mall starting at 8 pm.

Dinner is on the schedule for 5:30 and might be in the same bowling place.

I think that dinner time might be wrong because you can also go to Wat Pathum Wanaram and see monks chanting in between the Conference Day and the bowling. So I do not think we will be eating at 5:30.

Sign up here for a temple and monks:

Day Two

Day Two's conference venue and dinner spot are right near each other.

Day Two starts at the Grand Postal Building at 8:30 am.
The Baan Rim Naan Event is at 8:30 pm.

This map shows the two locations.

And here is the distance and path from the nearest bts station - Saphan Taksin. You can also take a river boat from the station to get there quicker.

I do not see an event between these two. You would not have time to get back to the hotel. Maybe dinner time will be moved up.

The Weekend is free until

Sunday Closing Banquet

The next event after this is the closing meal on Sunday at 5:00 pm. It is on a boat and not announced how to get there. It might be a group meetup at the hotel.

This next part is really for me

These are my travel details from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok.

Less than a week ago, I got this great news. I was going to be in Bangkok anyway for a necessary Visa trip, but now I will really be at STEEMFest in a few days.

What I do on STEEM

I post a total of 5-8 posts a day on my three niche blogs. The majority of what I do here is to help small blogs grow.

I normally work on STEEM full time and over time. STEEM and STEEM-related money provide 90% of my cost of living. I live very cheaply in SE Asia.

I did see an uptick in voting right after NewSTEEM came in. Most of that has disappeared now and I am struggling still.

All my blogs enter contests many times a week. We win often now since there are so few other participants.

@fitinfun

• Top @tipu Curator which pays $0.11 STEEM per day.
• Regular top participant and winner in the Weekly Engagement League of @abh12345.
• Constantly on the @trufflepig list for undervalued posts.
