  • I have a VPN.
  • I would not touch crypto-currency with a ten-foot pole.
  • I have PayPal, Visa, and bank accounts here and in the U.S.A.

How to get this going?
Crypto is wonderful!!! It totally changed my life. When playing at Stars re 2010, some dudes recommended buying it.

I use pokerstars in Thailand

Bangkokians

Lived in bkk for 6years, always get a 2bed. Usually pay like 1500-2400 for electric/month.
Since moving to a new place (only slightly bigger) it's 4000-5500.

We have the in-built aircon as opposed to wall-mounted. Is this just super inefficient? We also have a water boiler which is rare. The water is scalding if you turn the tap too far hot - could this be at a super high setting or something?

Cheers

Sup boyos, wat do in BKK if I want to send to my sister a GIGA BIG (souvenirs, clothes and chits) package box back to EU ? I did it years ago in Chiang Mai via a street shipping shop who sent it via boats and it arrived ~ 2 months later no problem. What is the Thai optimal way nowadays?

Take the stuff straight to the nearest government post office (NOT a private one like Kerry, Flash, etc). Like this one for example.

Anyone hear about the Russians falling off a cliff while taking selfies in Phuket? One of them died I think. Are they poker bros?

I've been here since 2014. Have a house in Saphan Sung....
Recent spike in electricity bills is from the end of the gov't subsidy to the electric company as the old gov't is being replaced. There goes the discount!
This has been addressed already as it was met with a mass of complaints and all over thai media.
Elections were literally last night and expect the new bills to be less, but not as good as they were before. I'll have to ask my woman about it to compare, but we can get a better indication with this next bill.

The built in units are for larger rooms and will cost more. Best to set it so it holds a reasonable temp you can live with vs turning it on when you enter the room... My gym does this and manages to keep the place cool enough during the day. We set it like at 26 and auto to hold the temp in a 'room temperature' range. It takes a ton of energy to cool it down from high temp to comfortable room temp...best bet is if it has a thermostat timer, you manage to limit the use or hold a higher temp between 10-5pm.

It's not just you...we all got screwed when the subsidy ran out and then the electric company got to charge us all full price! They do the same thing with gas prices.

I am from a country where I can get the E-visa, but is it possible to just leave to Cambodia and apply for the E-visa from there using a VPN and a fake flight from onward ticket?

Took like 23 business days for my e visa to get approved and the paperwork required is quite extensive and time consuming. Wouldn't recommend risking it just for the extra 30 days. Easier just to do a border run imo.

Thanks dude, I will ask them next time I go to Chatuchak. I checked online with a few different shipping companies but it was always express shipping with ridiculous prices ~300 USD, not worth it if I send for around 700-800 USD of goods.. wanna ship by boat don't care if it take months to arrive

Just getting the details from Luxonpay customer service about how to minimize fees.

They've said LUXONPAY is available to people residing in Thailand.

I'll be doing some discovery going back and forth with their customer service.

Had a quick look the other day as I need an new wallet to use with N8 as well. Sounds interesting though I wonder what would be the best way to do the initial funding to get things started. Because with Neteller for instance funding through a Thai debit card isn't possible as deposits made this way aren't eligible for gambling purposes (= can not be used for poker sites :/).

gonzo, I pretty much disagreed with basically everything you ever posted here

i also doubt you liked me, in fact, i'd be shocked if you did

but i'll genuinely miss your presence here and wish you'd stick around

you're 100% on the 2p2ers I'd love to get a beer with list

sad to see you go, you've added so much to the SEA threads here and reading your posts is always a wild ride

hope you reconsider, but either way I wish you the best

I know it says that when transferred to neteller, but have you tried it? Does neteller actually not go through after the earmarked funds have arrived in your wallet, then you try to fund your poker account??

Hello, I want to go to Thailand for ~3 months, but Im looking at visas and best I can see is 60 day tourist visa, can I get that visa, stay for 60 days, than for example go for a weekend to Malaysia, go back and get visa on arrival for 45 days? Does it work this way?
Thanks
