lol internet monitoring...

they are trying to open up a casino in patong... yep poker is frowned upon.


Jappe, they are looking for kindergarden english speaking teachers for about 30k+ a month + benifits.. like right now.
get here asap

nana tonight woot..

saw 1 thai guy dead on motorbike accident today on my way to bangkok... again one of those crazy guys trying to go too fast in traffic

Agree with the Koh Tao recommendation. The weather should be nicer there than in Phi Phi in July.

i can vouch for koh samet, i went into the highest point of the season and it was still awesome and not that crowded.

The sand/water was much better than phuket, the island was much less good. the nightlife pretty much sucked.

The restaurants though, awesome and u get to sit in the sand.
The massage on the beach are way cheaper and way better. tons of junk for sell too and tons of fruits/sumtam/chicken.

tons of hot jap girls



So winlong view in bangkok is decent for a serviced apartment. i got the second cheapest room, via internet it was 850baht a night(down from 1200) although u can get it for like 8k a month in apt rate.

internet is pretty fast, and working in the ****ters

about 5mins from bts, tons of thai restaurants and university girls

Pumpui, any hotel/bungalow recomendations on Koh Samet? $50/night would be ok but cheaper will do obv.

Guys,

Thailand is a 3rd-world country. Just because people don’t run around hacking off limbs with machetes (except for Ron) doesn’t make it a developed country. You people claiming Thailand is an ultraviolent dystopia are even more naïve than the clueless tourists who think the thais are nothing more than a smiling happy-go-lucky people who want nothing out of life other than to serve foreigners. Put down the Frank Miller comic books and look at this from a realist’s perspective.

Do you live in a compound in Montana with a two year supply of food and a 10:1 gun to person ratio? If you do, you probably feel very secure and safe, and rightly so. But you probably live with the rest of us in the real world. Bad things happen in the real world. There is crime and violence. These things happen mostly when you’re careless, but sometimes for no reason at all. Bad **** can happen in Thailand, it can happen in Laos, and it can happen in Kansas City, Stockholm, or Düsseldorf. This is the price of living in the real world.

I’ll grant you that Thailand can have to effect of making certain people think they’re invincible. They do things like start fights, stop using condoms, and even spraypaint dicks on portraits of the king. This has little to do with Thailand and everything to do with the person refusing to understand the society they’re living in.

Cliff’s Notes: Thailand is not utopia but it is also not Detroit with palm tress.

This is ludicrous. They can’t even do a competent job blocking porn sites, gambling sites, and sites critical of the monarchy. How many poker pros do you think live in (as opposed to just visit) Thailand? I’d put the over/under at 25. Are they really that concerned when there are millions of illegal aliens and thousands of English teachers working illegally? I’m sure most people illegally working on the internet do it exclusively through email. Are they going to read every email to see if it is business-related?

Why would thais be concerned with a dozen of players who live here peacefully taking a bunch of money from foreign fish and pumping in into their economy?

On paper it might be against the law but from what I understand of this country nobody would do you harm.

yeah people die and stuff.

On a more interesting note : got my salary ( 41k ship it ahah ) and pumpui is in bangkok with a newbie...

vodka!,vodka!,hookers!,hookers!,gonorea!,gonorea! and stuff

its kind of sad that this guy made almost half my salary for the month working about 1/20th of the time i worked

Its just your salary that is sad :-)

@ phuket right now staying at JW marriot

its friggin mesmerizing here. lobby with ocean view/ open structure lets the breeze flow through. obv everything is costly but damn. i coulnd't stop smiling/being amazed at how sick this place is since i got off the taxi.

im sure this will get me motivated enough to put in the hours/and try to save my self a nice nest egg while i can.

ya same. i got OWNED SO HARD in Cambodia at Angkor by this kid it crushed me psychologically for like two days. i can't even recount the story without feeling sorry for myself. it was for like $15 or something though so ya, definitely better to think about it that way vs a 500%+ markup

banana pancakes are real good though....

sigh i miss thailand. had a ****ty meal in london today for 10 pounds. in chiang mai i used to go to this nice restaurant like 5 times a week, stuff my face, get drunk, and get an hour long massage. for like half the price of that goddamn nasty ass calzone i ate today. ****!

Phuket is a 3rd world crime ridden country. Hard as ****. Youre lucky you're bitch ass hasn't been capped.

I have no idea what the real thailand is but I loved my first tuk tuk drive across bangkok.

This place is nuts...

I told one of those guys that have the friendship band things - when he came up to us in a bar that i was from Outer Mongolia cos I knew he wouldn't have it.. 15 mins later he came back with an Outer Mongolia band for me. Legend.

ZOMG Buckets!

ship the buckets

LOL I think you done set a record for more drinks spilled then drank last night

hahaha so true

skabar kicks my ass every time

I saw a gibbon today on my way to Nai Harn beach just chillin on a guard rail. I stopped my bike about 10ft away from him and watched him for a bit until he started moving towards me. Then I sped off. Phuket is too hot right now.

fyp

Ok folks help me out here please. My honeymoon will last for two days and it's gonna be Koh Tao vs. Koh Samet. It will be in early July. Which one has the better weather on this time of the year? Which one has clearer water? Which place has more activities once we get bored to the "paradise beach"?

haha this is awesome
