you want photos of thai gurlies youve cum to the wrong place. one guy claims he didnt even know the "famed bkk nightlife existed". another claims when he and his pals think of bkk they think shopping.

sorry sir. opps spoke too soon!

Has anyone recommendations where to spend a 3 weeks or 4 in March? Preferably a whole house/bungalow where 5-8 young NON gay men can spend their time at the beach or playing online poker (that means we need reliable braodband internet).

I stayed in a place called Q residence which I highly recomend. There are several throughout BKK including one at the top of Sukmavit and Wireless Road.

Finding a place should not be that hard. Getting a good, consistant internet connection tends to be a bit more a problem out there. A good letting agent should steer you right but some services split the bandwidth among too many customers leaving peak periods too slow to play poker.

I think ToT is the service to avoid 1.5mg to 150 customers but the other ones name escapes me. It is only 1.5mg per 8 customers.

anyone out there care to elaborate?

nope you didn't. There still havent been posted pictures of girls

I'll elaborate, but can't offer a solution. I just posted a thread in the internet gambling forum asking about Thai ISPs. Most are brutal. I have been using BuddyBB for over a year and I am at my wit's end with them. Its 1/512 but I speedtest in peak times at 70/20! I get disconnections on some poker rooms every 30 seconds, making them unplayable. This destroys my attempts at bonuswhoring, which I need to do now cuz I had a really bad month at the tables. The only rooms I've been able to use are Mansion and (ugh) Pacific, but I haven't tried them all yet.

You are correct that ToT is also to be avoided. The one whose name you can't think of is most likely True, Tot's main competitor, which is also terrible, but apparently slightly better. Does anybody out there use True (in Bkk) with luck? Please tell me cuz I need a solution.

All ISPs here engage in packet shaping, and I think that affects gambling (maybe you techies can confirm this). The problem is not only with the ISPs but CAT Telecom, which has a monopoly on international bandwith, and doesn't have enough to go around. Compounding that is that the ISPs are too stingy to lease enough bandwith for their customers. True was recently allowed to set up its own international pipeline or whatever, but its been a complete disaster and doesn't work at all.

Oh, additionally, due to CAT's idiocy, almost all connections to Europe, where most poker servers are located, go all the way through the USA, slowing it even more.

You rich folks out there have the option of leasing a direct line from CAT for like 400 dollars a month. Additionally, you can check some of the ISP's business packages. They often promise 4/2, meaning you might get 256/124 if you are lucky. Some people are really lucky and get speeds near what is promised, but I have no idea how. A lot of it depends on location, i.e. proximity to telephone exchanges and CAT headquarters (near Don Muang). There is no correllation in this country between the advertised features of a product and it's actual performance.

Some people recommend KSC, which is quite expensive, but I don't know much about that.

If anyone is playing successfully here, PLEASE tell me your ISP and plan. I am desperate. I can't afford much at all-- I'm just a student and a micro-stakes hobbyist.

To lazy to read all of the above post. But I live in a house and have a 2mbit connection or is it 3... cant remember from True. Close to no disconnects at all.

I have less DC here than I had back in Denmark...

Unfortunately I dont think this is what most people in this thread is looking for, if Im not mistaken people need recommedations for hotels with good connection, yes?

Anyway, hope some might find this helpfull

btw: I pay around 1200 baht a month for my connection

I download at about 200kb/s peak and I share my line with the other guests at my place (bkk)and I don't get disconnected much, its been once ore twice this month. I think i get micro disconnects that lasts for like 0,5-1sec where windows says disconnected then instantly connected again but this might be some windows bug ore something because I think i got this at home aswell.

I haven't had any problems with internet either. I stayed at Grand President Hotel in BKK and now I'm at Sino House in Phuket Town. My d/l speed is only 50kb/s right now, but disconnects have been rare.

For you guys in Phuket, where are y'all?

I'm in Patong right now having come from Kata. <3 <3 <3 Kata and I'm thinking of going back after my buddy heads back to the states Feb. 28.

Anyone in Kata or interested in hanging there for a couple of weeks? I'm familiar with the place already and have a few local friends there and it'd be nice to share a hotel with another cool guy especially if you can motivate me to actually play some poker!

Cheers,
Bill

(Thailand Trip Report coming soon. I'll link it in this thread when I finish writing it up)

I'm in an apartment outside of bangkok, in the jungle.
The connection is very stable, nearly no disconnect, top d/l speed around 90k.

Oh and the internet access is free. ;-)

LOL

I wonder if anyone is in Phuket????


Perhaps a glimpse at my location might help?

PS Currently in Patong

So it appears you are a true douche.

only hate.

Maybe I'm starting to understand why pumpui responds with such venom to the scum.

I'm just having fun with him.

Good news: HBO Asia is showing all 6 seasons of The Sopranos starting in February.

Bad news: No boobs, no f-bombs, random other stuff cut out. I expect it to look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFYN8loUboA

hey, i'm just about to book my ticket online and will hopefully be arriving in thailand this weekend..
i was planning on booking a oneway fare and organising the trip when i get out there.. is this going to be a problem or do i need a return fare in order to get granted the 30day tourist visa?

(i was initially going to fly into vietnam but it appears i have to wait 2weeks to get a visa??) i'm a 22year old irish student if this somehow makes a difference btw..

Monkeyman,

you can go ahead and get your ticket to Vietnam as you will need it to get the Thai visa upon arrival. Once in Bangkok you can go to the Vietnam embassy and get your visa processed in less than 24 hours.

Just look for the Vietnam Embassy on a map and go there when you arrive.

Best,
Bill
