Regarding 1) , does that mean opening a bank account in thailand is not required and using vpn will allow me to deposit and withdraw my winnings from pokerstars safely without hassle? Thanks for your help!

you can't send money from thailand to either pokerstars or your sg bank if you are on a tourist visa.

many people trade money with other poker players, there are always people who want cash and have online to trade so you can get money online.


speaking of this, I have extra baht to trade atm if anyone needs some PM me

So is the only way buying from players? Or will opening a thailand bank account solve the problem? Also how do we cash out? By selling to others?

You can deposit thai bank -> poker site if you use neteller/entropay as an intermediary. Don't need to trade with others unless you want to. Can cashout by wire transfer option to thai bank.

So the best way is to open a thai bank right? May I ask how hard would that be for someone with tourist visa right now? Thank you

Easy. If one bank say you that you can not, try an other an other bank until they say yes. Coin flip imo

they have dollar accounts?

mh..didn't thought right about it..you can easy deposit/cashout over neteller/skrill on all pokersites,but if you need money at the atm it's probably to expensive over the time,because skrill and neteller have both high fees for currency exchange :/

I forgot mention my celebrity sighting of dean Barrett in patong Friday night.

I have to say the man looks really good for his age. Must be the Thai pussy.

Early in the year I saw the guy from Asian street meat in nana plaza.

In Jakarta now a full trip report will come if I get bored at the airport. Bring be condoms to Jakarta if you're packing heavy artillery like me because I can't find bigger than 52.5mm.

Anybody going to be in Chiang Mai for the big festival on the 25th?

If anyone has experienced it before can you chime in with recommendations of where to go. It's pretty much all over CM, AFAIK

what are the bad months to be in chiang mai because of the smoke?

For someone with no experience using skrill and neteller , does it only work if the bank account I open has access to internet banking? Also, would it work if I were to open a bank account here in SG and deposit/withdraw via the same account over there in thailand as there are some bank here that also operate in thailand. Ex: UOB,CIMB or must I open a account there for it to be legal? Thank you

March is the worst, but it usually starts in February and lasts a while into April

This is not a reliable option. Once money lands in your Thai bank account it is complicated wiring it out of Thailand. They want you to spew it on bar fines and durian.
You have to use skrill/neteller and connect both your Thai and Singaporean bank account to those.

It doesn't matter if you have internet banking or not. skrill/neteller will wire to your bank and you can withdraw with your ATM card. It doesn't have to be a Thai bank, but it's preferable to avoid the fees attached to using a foreign bank.

What if the bank account are the same? Since there are some bank in Singapore that also operate in Thailand, I was thinking if opening the account first in Singapore and then using that same account to deposit/withdraw would be a problem since pokerstars have pulled out of singapore already. Just asking to confirm if pokerstar will refuse to payout via skrill/neteller to a bank account that was opened in Singapore. Thank you for your replies

What did pokerstars say when you emailed them?

I went there a few years ago for loy khratong. Fireworks until 6am everyday, almost blew my hand off. Pretty fun but not like some 3 day rager or anything.

Anyone know the situation with Ranong visaruns and what the best option for an extra 30 days in phuket is? Im currently in living in chalong.

Guys I have a confusing situation, I swear I aint trolling or anything, 20yo on thaifriendly message me "how much you want for a night?".
First I thought she was kinda lost in translation, and meant to ask me how much I am willing to pay, but she seems to confirm that she's the one paying.

She's like a 5/10, Im like an 8/10, but I would have probably done it for free if she ask kindly and have nothing better to do.

But getting paid to for sex has been on my bucket list since I have read the Pooter thread, it would be even better if it was by a 20yo.

My questions are : wtf is up? is she trolling or is there any chance she's being serious? Any chance its a trap from other girls I messaged? and if not, what is an appropriate amount to charge? Lick the pussy slow make the lady cum? Any of you guys had the same kind of experience?

How can you post that without sharing a picture?

should have stopped reading here

Problemeliminator living up to the screen name, bkkyolo, My advice would be to live up to yours.

Those 5/10s turn into 7s after a decent amount of beer.

Ill be there. It will be my first time, with kid and lady. Looking forward to it!

Thailand has been great for me the past 2 weeks, but have not been able to open bank account yet to deposit on stars-tried 5 banks in krabi town.

Any one have money on stars to trade?

Thanks in advance
