Another question:

Where you guys getting haircuts in kata/karon? frankpark9 and i are in serious need of a GOOD haircut, gay guys are fine or w/e looking for salon or nice spot not some idiot on the street with a pair of buzz clippers. thanks

jungceylon has some salons, was ok for me

I'm thinking of moving to bangkok, but would rather be at some island. Is it possible to find good internet on any island? Like a decent DSL connection. I was in thailand 4-5 years ago, in phuket and koh samui, the internet was awful everywhere and I couldnt play online without getting disconnected every hour.

Any ideas? Recommendations?

phuket has several options for more than grindable internet

What about koh samui?

no clue

There are poker players living in Koh Samui so I'm gonna bet that you can find grindable internet there.

in before pokerspiv recommends his friends hotel in koh samui with wifi, wich several ppl have said isnt very good!

anyone know a good place to get monitors in BKK?

I have the hanns g one and i plan on coming to BKK in july so I need a monitor like 27inches +

In about two months i plan to go to Thailand for a year. Anybody has/knows a quality place with reliable internet?

just read the last couple of pages there are some pretty good explanations of the different 2p2 communities in Thailand

edit: by 2 pages i mean the last couple hundred posts

man i have never seen this question asked before, o wait its over half this thread

K, i get it, sorry i swears i never do it again...

Anyone know any similar website like www.houseinphuket.com where I can find a house easily? Could be in phuket/koh samui, doesnt matter. Thanks

Yeah i wasnt talking about messenger bags, specifically items that i mentioned which are heavily duplicated in Thailand like polo tees and rolex's. I do agree that the real thing is alot better far as quality hence the 200x+ in some cases cost difference.

i will add however that i have a friend who bought a pretty nice knockoff Tag watch and when back in America the battery died. He went to get a new battery and the guy at the watch store, selling Tags wanted to charge him $100 for a new battery, my friend than told him it was more than he had paid for the watch itself. The watch dealer than looked at the replica carefully and said, that cant be...this is a real Tag.

Alot of copys are pure trash but apparently some pass for real even to the "trained eye" far as the people who specialize in selling those specific items. In asia at least, its a real thin line. Disclaimer to this next thing ill say which is i have no idea if the story behind it is true or not but there is a hidden store, within a store...in the silom area where you can buy high end "knock off" if that type purses. So high end infact the person who i went there with (older business man) told me that they were made in the same factory as the real ones...at night when the regular workers go home a 2nd crew comes in and continues to make purses which are sold on the black market which come with serial numbers, verification cards, whatever it is that proves it is legit which ultimately it is...just its sold on a different market at a 30-50% discount. Again, im not sure if the background on that story is true, maybe a myth but its just what i was told... nor am i trying to incite a debate about real vs replica as i dont really care to talk about it more....but it does sound interesting to say the least.

yeah i was really surprised at how high the quality of knock offs are in thailand as in the usa knockoffs are complete ****

don't worry about it

it's just almost the exact same questions was asked like 4 posts before yours so ppl get grumpy

i haven't had disconnects for a long time but today the adsl has been down the whole morning so i'm using the cdma aircard as backup which is also more than good enough for grinding

get back to STT strat j0FF, they need you for more sh*tty HH analysis! jk jk cool to hear youre moving out here, envision pmed me about it a few days ago.

Haha, recognized your name here in this thread. How long are you staying there? You think it's cool to go there alone? I got one friend who will maybe go, but looks like i have to do it alone.

IMO it's cool to come alone nowadays. so many likeminded people here already

Cool, Thailand it is then.

theres a few shops in mbk with hidden backrooms where they keep their grade A replica bags, if they are actually made in the same factory or not iam not sure about but the ones i saw were really good quality leather, they went for like 4-5kbaht and up.
just ask some wannabe hiso thaigirl iam sure they know where to get the good stuff
