Hey Ron, get on msn some time!

FYI I was talking to our friend the little pool hustler who wouldnt sit on your lap, and was asked about how you are going! Quite an impact dude! Apparently you are good man!

Also heard that today the peoples are giving back the airports! What? Please yes?

i think his computer goes BOOM if he turns msn on.

also, looks like thai airways started some flight already today from suvarnabhum. dont know how long it takes to resume 100% though.

udder nonsense sir!

thais raise the price in bad times to make up for the lost income.


can an alan greenspan type confirm that this works.................lol

it is quite a problem.

Simply it sucks so get use to less game selection.
Also for a couple of nights a week i've stayed in and grinded till the early hours / go to the beach during the day.

Weeee! I goot man!

For some reason when I have the HEM and teh pokerz site up my processor thinks its best to peuke hard when the MSN is up. Apparently, teh MSN is resource hog.

What do you guys use for e-wallets in Thailand ?
Neteller dosent work right ?
Moneybrookers chill ?

Moneybookers worked for all my Euro transactions but not for Full Tilt Poker so i got someone back home to do that one for me.

moneybookers does NOT work for poker sites.
but obviously there are ways around it, since it relies on a simple ip check.

For bangkok:

Suk soi 33 or Narathiwas Rd in between Silom and Sathon (sort of close to Covenant) for location? Which would you chose and why?

Also anyone have experience with CNC Heritage in general or specifically their internet? Same for Shangarila Suite?

This news might affect some people. just note that the only change is that you will only get 15 day stamp and not the 30 days if you take some visarun to myanmar or somewhere and you dont have a visa


30-days border runs now only 15 days

BANGKOK: -- In order to limit the amount of foreigners using "back-to-back" border runs, Thai Immigration has issued a new regulation regarding the 30 days tourist exemption.

Effective immediately, travellers without visa will get only 15 days of stay if they are arriving via a land border checkpoint from a neigboring country.

Passengers arriving via an international airport will obtain a 30 days stay, and for them there is no change.

Travellers with Malaysian passports will obtain a 30 days stay.

This police order number 778/2551 is today confirmed by Royal Thai Police, Immigration Bureau, in Bangkok.

seconded! mb does not accept gaming transactions for my thai based account.


can u enlighten us on ip masking, not all of us r computer savvy!

i tried one that didnt work, $25 annual fee i think.

ok so i applied for my tourist visa and the dude called me back saying that i needed a reference of someone living in phuket/and an address where I'm staying...

does anyone know anything about this? seemed like this stuff isnt necessary for tourists...

if it is standard will someone living in phuket pm me so that i can use you as a ref?

thx for your help

they do ask it but atleast they dont require any info at the embassy in helsinki. as for address any guest house or hotel address should do. you shouldnt need to prove any of that anyways.

MB has worked fine for me on Party Poker and Ladbrokes

easiest way - use a friend's computer back home using remote desktop / remote assistance.

don't use an agent. go to the local thai embassy/consulate closest to where ever you live in person. fill out the forms in person. it takes like 10 minutes and you can go pick up your visa/passport the next day typically.

you do not need to provide references for a tourist visa, and 'phuket hotel' is sufficient for an address of where you're staying.

Last chance for someone to tell me that Sukhumvit Soi 33 is a bad place to stay... and go.

Hey all, seems like there is quite a good chance I will be in Phuket in a few days. Is there anybody that´s up for a meet and a couple of beers? (More info on who I am can be found in my 2 BBV threads...)

Yeah, pretty sure almost all of us will be here. Just post in the chatter thread or send one of us a PM when you are coming.

sukhumvit 33 is full of working girls bars. If you dont mind that its a good location next to a lot of restaurants, skytrain station and emporium witch is a pretty big hi-so shopping center.

I have a moneybookers account connected to my address in Australia.

Will I be able to transact MB <> Gambling sites from a thai IP?

nope

My MB account is linked to the UK, from a Thai IP i could use it for Ladbrokes and Party, could send money back to my UK bank but couldn't use it for FTP and i imagine Oz would be the same.

Then again Thailand is chaotic so don't count on anything working. Sort as much stuff out as possible before you leave.

click2pay works fine.

unfortunately it is not accepted by most rooms. someone nneds to start a campaign to get c2pay as the prefereed method of funding.
