The corporate networking group Movers & Shakers has always done things a little bit differently from other organizations, and on Friday the 5th of June they pulled out all the stops as they took over Mantra.
Mantra is a very well known self-standing restaurant which forms part of the Amari Pattaya. Mantra has a unique bar and restaurant that houses many kitchens serving up cuisines from all over the world. However, to accommodate Movers & Shakers, the entire restaurant was cleared of tables and chairs to make way for a throng of networkers.
Always glitz & glamour at Movers & Shakers.
On the night an estimated 300 guests attended, paying the 500 baht entry fee which included free flow beer, red & white wine and soft drinks.
Although the tables and chairs were removed, Mantra still laid on an assortment of food, such as Japanese sushi and maki rolls, Chinese dim sum & Peking duck rolls, Mini Mantra burgers & Mediterranean shrimps, Indian butter chicken & naan bread, Olive Focaccia & mini pizzas, mini spinach cannelloni, and canapés including salmon rose, cream cheese, Asian meatball & deep fried prawns with horseradish sauce.
The Riviera Group was the title-sponsor and their brand ambassador Metinee Kingpayome could be seen mingling with the guests.

The networking officially finished at 8:30 but the party continued with discounted drinks, a spectacular wave of musical entertainment, and stage shows.
