ha, ha, ha.

me everyu ****in time. next time take cash and leavee all ur cards at home. usually works pretty well, sometimes you even get the hookers buying you drinks

hahaha the absolute lads!

sad ending to the story. on the 30th ill show u some ibar girlies who definitely aren't starfish!

Pretty confident I do look better, I go to the gym 6x/week now vrs never at 23, and diet is infinitely better. So I would imagine to any regular girl id look better, but in titty bars you really stand out as a fresh faced young man, as the girls are so used to the older gentleman, in Patts/Bkk im probs still classified as a young man, but about average age on the scene in Phuket.

'Uphill until at least mid 40's' is pretty ambitious though

I fall for a similar trick of the mind, usually bring 2k bht most nights just expecting some beers, relaxing, and some perving, bringing my cards just incase, obv atm gets hit everytime.

Dont think ive ever had a 'Starfish', at least not for a few years, if they like that then why not just flip into doggy and yolo?

This.

Flip that **** over and punish it like the piece of trash that it is.

@coinflipper

great update

next time tho take her to a short time room on Walking Street before going clubbing

can take her home after clubbing or look for a new target

If anyone else in Pattaya is keen, me and coinflipper and @DownandUnder will be going on an epic bender on 30th of May, predrinks in the penthouse jucuzzi from midday, everyone's invited.

just picked up a new to me speedo at the used clothes market

this is the plan going forward. going st 3-4 times first before lookin at engagement rings

Before you get too serious with one of these girls, ask mamasan what the marriage bar fine is. Can be quite prohibitive some times.

Someone asked recently about help setting up a Thai bank account. I may also need this, but that would be the end up the chain.

What I need first is revenue. (Yes, I know I can't be "working" in Thailand without the proper Visa. Heard this is more the spirit than letter of the law though, as long as you aren't taking jobs away from Thais.) The venture I'm looking to get off the ground may end classified as a non-profit anyways. So, no sense labeling anything until money starts rolling in.

Anyways, what I'd like to do is migrate the content from a website of mine previously hosted by an American company over to the servers of a local one here. Donations were accepted on that site, so I would also be looking to find a Thai wallet to completely eliminate Western influence. So, the chain would look like: Thai hosting --> Thai online wallet --> to Thai bank account.

Are there any recs for what I'm describing here? (It's completely legit business. Probably 85% "Disney" family-friendly content - the other 15% may be somewhat controversial depending on the reader, however I'm open to editing/negotiating what's hosted).

Damn wish i could make it sounds fun. I wont be doing any degenning until End of July. Looking forward to some trip reports though!

I can't address the online business part, but I can illuminate the bank account part. Some expats are able to walk into a Thai bank and open an account with nothing more than a visa exemption stamp in their passport. By law,as a foreigner, you can't open a bank account without a work permit but some banks will 'overlook' the law and some won't. I've even heard that a bank will refuse you one day and allow you the next 555. You never know whether it will work or not until you try. So my 1st suggestion is to just walk into a few banks and keep trying until you find a bank that allows you to open an account.

If you can't get anywhere that way, you can do what I did. I paid a government official from my wife's village to come to the bank and cosign for me. this worked great. You can use a teacher, a lawyer or any government official but they won't let you use an ordinary low class person as a cosigner.

One other suggestion. If you are going to be doing tons of interaction with the locals but don't speak Thai properly you should get a local to help you do business. If you don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend you can rent one and they will stick to you like glue and help you through all the hoops. Good luck.

it took me many tries at a few different banks before finding one that would let me open an account on tourist visa. if your going to try this way then I'd suggest start with kbank or bangkok bank near touristy areas(nana, central pattaya, etc). they will at least have more people who speak better english and are used to foreigners

Krungsri bank.

Since the topic is still finances, figured I'd also ask about pre-settlement funding. One of the differences I've noticed over here in Thai is the prevalence of detective agencies or private investigator offices on street corners like you would find law offices in the States (I think this has to do with background checks ex-pats are looking to do on women they may be interested in marrying to make sure there's nothing sketchy - former GoGo dancer, organized crime connections, etc).

Anyways, pre-settlement funding is a big thing in America (just Google the term - soft language, or fancy way of saying "loan shark"), and I'm currently the informant in an IRS Whistleblower Claim:

https://www.irs.gov/compliance/whist...nformant-award

The IRS sent me a letter on the 29th of April saying it could take up to 2 years for me to receive this money (which will be 30% of collected back taxes). Does anyone know if there are any agencies here in Thailand that can do this, or would my best bet be the usual suspects overseas - J.G. Wentworth, etc.?

j.g wentworth obviosuly. i didnt know people actually used that service. all those afternoons wathing jerry, maury etc finally paying off

Ffs GoldenStaf etc at least you still a K.un.t

If your employer owed you 10 years of backpay what are you going to do? That's what the whistleblower award is for - disgruntled employees. I can only ask nicely/politely for so long. I'm not the one who painted myself into a corner. This guy was thrown life preserver after life preserver to unstuck himself.

Sorry for a basic question, I swear I've done my best to find answers via google and forum searches, but not finding great answers from reasonable sources.

I'm currently living in Thailand (non-poker related), and want to play some poker on the side while I'm here. It's been some time since I've played online, so not very familiar with the current state of things. I have a thai bank account (Kbank).

Can someone point me towards some sites with decent games and decent deposit/withdrawal options? Or if there's some thread/websites I'm missing those would be helpful too. Thanks for any info. Hope this is the right place for this question.

Anyone ever tried IDN? after some searching I found the thai ******** skin. Need a thai bank account but other than that it looks simple.

bovada does deposits and cashouts from thai banks

Wanted to update findings about setting up a Thai website for those interested. As far as hosting there’s several options around $5 USD/month: 21st Century, IDC Thailand, and others. My site is running smoothly with no problems. Using Paypal for donations, but many options again for online payments: Rabbit Line Pay came up as the biggest during casual research, but everyone seems to want in this area with lots of news articles over the last year. (I paid the web host with Paypal).

Haven’t done anything with banking because - no money, ldo. Trying to rectify this by joining FB groups for movie extras: (Thailand Extras, Talents, Models & Actors Community) + (Actors Association of Thailand). The second is hosting an event tonight at Bangkok Comedy Club if anyone is looking for something to do ($10 tickets).

People seemed to enjoy the PDF’s I posted here back in March, but the images were really meant to be viewed in full-size (which can now be done on my site hollywoodmashup + there’s new stuff). And if anyone has pull to get a mention in media like Harvie’s blog in the Bangkok Post, you can have my first born. (Jake Needham is another interesting story. Author of The Big Mango, and couldn’t find distribution in North America, who became a best-seller through a Singapore publishing house).
