yes i took it the otherday. it takes about 15mins on the FAST train and it gets you to Phetchaburi MRT which is 1 stop MRT to asoke.. you can catch the train in the basement floor at the airport

How's the internet connection speed and dependability in Phuket??? Does it cut in and out at all or just go down altogether ever? Also, how's the speed? Am I gonna be able to listen to pandora or stream a movie on NetFlix while playing or is the connection too slow? If I can't beat off to the same ol' bukake/fisting/bondage videos while stacking players at 1/2NL because of the internet speed then I'm sorry, Thailands not for me.

Lol this guy knows how to party^

Well streaming a movie + music + poker is not possible if you get a basic connect at a hotel or condo ect, or maybe not even a air card, but not sure on that. You would have to arrange for a better internet to be installed, then you will probably be ok. A lot of times if you want to install your own line, a condo or hotel will require you to stay at least 6 months ect.. So if you like to travel around a lot, best bet would be to rent a room in a house from a established 2+2er already there, because they for sure will have often times the best and multiple back ups of internet. Also many of those "2+2 houses" can offer you a month by month rental.

What should i expect when i meet up with some girl i met on the train? Any cultural tips? Advice for advancement of sexy times?

use a condom and dont pet her with your feet

I am in Chiang mai atm and looking to do a trip to Cambodi/Vietnam early next year.
Does anyone have some experience doing this and any reccomendations? Any good river cruise type things that are worth checking out?

Not sure what our best options are, atm probably going to train to bangkok and fly from there but have no idea what order to do things in or anything like that

flights to bkk are like $50?

pandora is blocked here.

i can listen to streaming music while pokering. can't stream porn while grinding though. probably for the better.

also, on a side note, there's a group of us from ATL over here. a few already went home, and now we're spread out all over thailand... but another ATLien would be nice

Anyone in chiang mai know of a decent gym in nimmanheimen area, I'm close to powerhouse gym but the prices seem ridiculously expensive.

Also if any one in chiang mai want to meet up for a beer or something let me know, havent met anyone here yet, probably staying for ~3 months.

Also are motorbike rental places all pretty much the same? I want to get a bike how much should i be spending/month. Ive never ridden one before, so just want an old beat up one that wont be obvious if i scratch it or something.

powerhouse is the best around nimman.

depends what kind of bike u get get, but it should cost about 3k/mo.

Wow 3 months in CM and never road a bike hows that possible? Can get for 2500 - 3500 baht a month + gas.

I have to visit this place one time

I mean I just arrived chiang mai, probably staying another 3 month. Never needed to ride bike in Bkk.

I found getting around CM pretty easy without a bike.

Arrived in BKK now yo, living in some hostel at sukhumvit 38(?) Considering staying here for like a month or so. Any tips on how\where to find my own place, that is cheap and has grindable internet are welcome.

Why is Pandora blocked!!!? The sacrifices that have to be made to go to Thailand may be too much.

So awesome that there are (or were) some ATL poker players out there in Thailand. Those who came back home, are they going back at all? It would be pretty cool to get a grind house going with other Atlanta players. Rutang, if I end up making the trip would it be cool if I could pm you and maybe you could put me in touch with some ATL players that are over there? Also, seriously, why doesn't Pandora work?

Hulu is also blocked.

and Veoh

and NetFlix...

What budget for what accommodations?

Don't let it bruise your ego if it goes nowhere.

Basically all Thai girls will give you their number if you ask, that doesn't mean they all want to **** you though, or don't have a boyfriend or whatever.

...and TwoPlusTwo...for real tho, is this serious or just a joke. Tell me YouTube, AIM, and Skype are blocked and my head might explode. Can anyone tell me why exactly they are blocked? I play heads up waiting for games and i don't play at a grind house so without these sites and software it can get pretty boring when I'm not getting action. Also, Rutang, what do use to stream music other than Pandora? My buddy was telling me about a site he uses (the name i cant remember) but maybe you know of another one.

Thanks!

They are blocked by those companies voluntarily, same with Pandora. Something about the Copyrights not applying to Thailand.

The only User-Generated site that is blocked, that I know of, is PornHub. This one is blocked by the Thai Government.

As low as possible, need to have stable/ok internet, need a decently clean bed, and some sort of desk\chair solution for grinding etc, Air con and own bathroom /shower would be nice. Being able to go out at night and return home safely ( and not having to travel 1 hour each way) would be a decent plus also Anything else (Fridge/other furniture/ TV etc) is obviously a plus but not really a huge deal. I dont really have a budget, i mean sure i can afford to pay 20k or 30k baht or whateever for a place, But I dont want to do that if i can get a place that is say 5-10k bath and still is reasonable

You can get something like you want for 6-8k if you shop around
