In Samui and Phuket pretty much every Thai person works in the tourist industry and the foreigners are either package tourists or residents who seldom bother to adjust to Thai culture which makes the whole scene unbearable. Beaches are nice though.

Ko Phangan is similar but more fun. The average tourist on Ko Phangan seems 15 years younger than average tourist on Samui on Phuket. It is probably the place where its easiest to bang young white chics in Thailand.

Ko Samet is still rather Thai and only 2 hours from BKK but might get boring after a couple of days because it is rather small same as the small Ko Chang.

Hua Hin sucks.

I don't think your experience of Samui/Phuket is very accurate. Foreigners in Samui seem pretty well adjusted, or do you expect them all to become buddhists and start beating their wives to become more Thai?

What's "fun" is subjective. If you think hanging out with teenage/early 20s backpackers is fun, then by all means go straight to Ko Phangan.

If banging young white chicks was the #1 thing on your agenda, why not stay home?

Does anyone think that players in Phuket would catch crap if one of the newspapers printed an article about Online Poker players? I had a friend ask me about it and I wan't really sure.

sound like a really bad idea

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but just wanted to get some general thoughts from the community. I don't really see what the police can do about it either way.

Maybe not, but why risk it?

Chances are she genuinely believes this.

I doubt this would be a problem since you can first try to deposit to a gambling site with a thai ip and get denied but then put vpn on 2min later and it works and your account doesnt get locked or anything. Neteller on the other hand would insta lock your account and demand explanation.

You can also just tell moneybookers u use a vpn and live in thailand. they dont care
10-14-2011 , 07:08 AM

hey im thinking of moving to Thailand for a few months, just wondering if GHRP is legal over there. (growth hormone releasing peptide) Im pretty sure its not classified as a controlled substance. But just wanted to make sure before I take some over there as I dont want to end up in jail. if anybody has any info on this, that would be great.

It's a grey area. Technically HGH is not illegal, so it's kind of assumed that GHRP and GHRH falls into the same category. Getting access to it is probably a bigger concern than it's legality, you'll need to find someone to get it for you.
