The best monthly network event in Pattaya is probably the The Lighthouse Club in Pattaya if you want make new friends and business contacts. The Event also give all the money to charity so it is a fun event for a good thing in the same time. You can get update on their website when the next event will be.

The Lighthouse Club is known, recognized and regarded with respect and affection throughout every branch of the construction industry.

The Lighthouse Club has its origins in Newcastle in England, where in 1956 a group of exhibitors got together for a drink at the Rex Hotel after a construction exhibition. A certain Eddie Ward decided it would be a good idea to form a club, which would meet regularly between exhibitions, to continue the goodwill and co-operation enjoyed during the exhibition. The club was named after Saint Mary’s Lighthouse clearly visible from the Rex Hotel. (Sadly, Eddie Ward died in 1993. Each year the Hong Kong Branch holds a dinner in honour of Eddie Ward, usually during July.)

The Lighthouse Club chose as its motto the Latin expression “Aliis cum Humanitate”, which translates as “Consideration for Others”. With this in mind a Benevolent Fund was formed in the early 1960s whose objective is to give financial help to the victims of accident and illness within the industry and to dependants after a fatal accident. The objectives of the Club are non-political.

The Club has grown from a small clutch of members to envelope branches not only in the UK, but also in South East Asia, Europe and South Africa. In this region there are branches in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. The possibility of forming new branches in Mainland China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia is also being pursued and it is estimated that The Lighthouse Club has grown from its modest Whitley Bay beginnings to encompass a membership of approximately 10,000.

The Pattaya Branch was established in 2005.
