K2, don't take this personally bud. I posted a gym pic once as a follow up to my post about getting quality whey supplements and creatine shipped into Thailand. I made amazing gains taking just those supplements and shared about it.......once..

Why did I do it? It gives people in this thread an introduction of who I am and what I'm into, so I ended up getting a good sample of people on skype, who I've met in person and are interested in the same thing. Meanwhile I didn't inundate the entire community with every little uninteresting development in that aspect of my life.

What you've been doing to this thread would be the equivalent of me posting at least once if not 3-4 times /day with new photos of my biceps or quads and how many reps I did....people don't give a fuaq, I'm just saying. I think you posted about 39 times about getting 3G internet on your computer. PE is an exception, not a rule (and even that has been a topic of debate on here for awhile). Stop being so narcissistic, take a deep breath, and before you hit "submit reply"ask yourself "are people really going to be interested in this?" I mean obviously lots of people don't do that here, including myself, but nobody posts as much as you do about random nonsense.

..don't take it personally......take a cue from PE...if he posts a routine trip to the buffet with "gf"there is humour and pictures included nearly always.

Is there a decent option for someone staying only a short while?
i just went around Kata looking at places for a guy... best deals i thought were a basic 1br 1ba A/C room for 9k/mo, and a more nicely furnished one for 15k/mo... both of those places had internet, but you'd have to test them out to be sure they were good enough for grinding. if not, use an aircard or smartphone tether. I use AIS, others say True is fine. i'm guessing they both work decently in most places on the island.

I also know of a place in kata that you'll probably pay 15k/mo for plus bills. (it's 12k/mo with a contract) and it would require a deposit. it's a much roomier townhouse. no internet built in, but you could probably work a deal to share the neighbor's internet who is a poker player... or grind on an aircard. that place is a 2br, though the 2nd br is a single bed. pros to this place: extra bedroom, much roomier, an actual kitchen and living room. con: close enough to a major street that the noise might bother you when trying to sleep.

my first instinct is that you didn't call the number on the back of the card to alert them you would be travelling in asia, and so they froze the account.

I did not log into moneybookers since it should not work and if you try to login from Thailand your account will be frozen!

Was in Aussie and NZ before, no problems, same with eastern Europe last year!

I have about a 25% success rate withdrawing from bank machines. one of my cards used to work 100% but now doesnt work at all. Cash advances on my credit card have been working or me lately, though its very hit and miss as well.

just keep trying different machines, eventually you may find a combo that works. for me its credit card at a krungsgri.no clue why.

Pretty sure you can log into moneybookers no problem (i do). You just cant deposit into a gambling site using moneybookers while on thai IP.

Hey guys I am selling a higher end desktop computer in Chiang Mai. Everything in the computer works fine and it has never been abused or anything.

I built it for gaming but find myself never actually playing games. I also want to start traveling more and don't want to take it with me. Those are the reasons I am selling it.

The specs are i7 2600, 8gm gskill ram @ 1600, 2x gigabyte 7850 video cards, a z68 asus motherboard, a corsair 850w power supply and a plextor 120 gb SSD. It comes in a cooler master, medium sized black tower. It also has a cd rom drive and a 500 GB HDD. Here is the part list from newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139011
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115228
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131790
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820249010
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125451
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231445
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119233

It gets pretty good frame rates playing Skyrim on pretty high settings at 2560x1600.

I can ship it to anywhere in Thailand but you have to pay for shipping. The parts cost maybe 20% more in Thailand compared to newegg prices. I will sell it for 21,000 baht.

Alternatively, I would part with the video cards for 3,500 baht each.

I can take payment via kbank or almost any poker site via transfer.

PM me if you are interested.

And in b4 some dude will want more than just a tour guide (since most of his traffic comes from a gay hookup site).

When I was using neteller 2 years ago the card was working fine after I told them I would be in Thailand for a few months.
Now I'm using a Swedish bank card and if I use wrong atm the money go missing for 5-7 days.. Tmb atm is whats working for me.

I just choose whichever connection happens to be running better that day before each grind.

Especially with sharky now you have a bit of time and its fine. Before sharky I got way more simulsits that I should have because the lobby was slower
quality cheers, prob kidding myself ill even grind much, leaving now arriving sunday in time for a power nap then sunday millball grind

first month in THai generally equates to 1/2 your std volume at best, and spending 2x more than you will in later months. But its worth it.

Anyone knows where to buy kitchen supplies in Phuket such as Water-boiler and Egg-boiler?
Those 2 things would be really beneficial for me
Didn't find so much info online. And the Thai people I asked didn't knew what I meant.

surely Jungcelon mall in lolpatong would have it? Or any other mall for that matter. No matter what you say thai people will not understand anything, best thing to do is take a picture of anything you want on your phone and just show them a picture.

waterboilers are everywhere. they're really common here b/c people use them to make Ramen (Mama) egg cookers i'm not sure i've seen, but i'd check HomePro if you're on teh south of the island, Makro if you're in Ptown, or Robinson's in Patong.

What if you dress better than the avg tourist and even the avg sex-monster? Does the thai-chick even care?
Or would she prefer the ugly guy in the ugly shorts with the uncomfortable t-shirt, but with a Rolex?

Are Rolexes stolen a lot? Well... luxurious things like... Rolexes, LV bags, Hermes shawls.

Or in short: should I leave my ballin Rolex at home? Pros? Cons?

PS: My line was obv idiotic. But once you go there, you know, you obv have to stick with it. But you get the point, I guess.

PPS: Otherwise you'll call me dickhead by tomorrow, but those are the low-rollers anyway right?
