dammit, this means drunk planning.

So you guys are saying you can get internet anywhere out there, including at these huts on the islands?

Hell yeah. I'll be in that area in 2 days and will check it out.

I want to bang her. Now.

please? lol

If you want internet ANYWHERE, then buy a cell phone with bluetooth. Then you can use a laptop to access EDGE internet network. You cant play 12 tables at once but it should be more then enough to play 1 or 2 at a time.

Damn, I had to watch it again.

yeah that's not nearly enough tables

qft, I wouldn't be making any money at all at that rate.

I havent played poker on it but Ive used it for internet and it seemed fast enough.

If you are renting a house then get dsl. If you are staying in hotels/travling then bring a laptop and plug it in at netshops.

When I first came to samui I was playing and working in starbucks for a while.

Why would you want to go to Thailand to play online poker. You guys are weird.

cost of living is low, chicks are hot, there's an ocean which I can't be by here, it's not iowa

Ummm, Thailand is amazing. Maybe you should read through the thread

sure the hell beats living in the usa...

diff places, same problems

All I was saying is if were going on a vacation pretty much anywhere, including Thailand, I sure as hell wouldn't be playing online poker. Obviously if you are staying there for an extended period of time its different.

Well this thread is called "LIVING IN THAILAND" not vacationing in Thailand so I think that explains everything.

yea yea I phrased it poorly. I was referring to all the people that were asking questions about connecting to the internet.

On a side note what is the usual alcoholic drink of choice there? Is it the same stuff that is over here? Do they drink much beer?

It is golf heaven here. There are tons of golf courses around including Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones designed courses etc. The Amata course is where they host some big tournaments and it is the nuts. One hole has an island green that you take a boat out to! Green fees including caddy are from 500baht and up. That is about $13 -$75 ish. It is great having your own caddy, it makes you feel like a pro golfer. hehe.. The caddies are often cute girls too. I recommend Panya Park about an hour from Bangkok city center. I'm going tomorrow morning actually

Check out this site for some good info on courses in thailand:

ps. Some Driving ranges are very nice here too. All-Star Driving complex and the one at RCA are good.

pps. Killer place to buy golf stuff is in Silom in the Thaniya building. 4 floors of golf stores. All the big names and also used stuff. Epic. Golf kicks ass.

I prefer Singha. Beer chang is usually reserved for farang who are scraping their last bacht out of their pockets. It tastes like ass and gives you a huge hangover.

Heinken is made locally jhere so its not exactly the same as you migh tbe used too.

Thais drink [censored] wisky (rum) which can be purchased very cheap.

The traditional drink while parting is to take a 5th of sangsom and 1 redbull and 1 coke and mike in a bucket of ice. This is called a "bucket" naturally.

I like to goto places that server good beer though (Guiness ) mmmmmm

hahahaha. I know man
