Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
All I was saying is if were going on a vacation pretty much anywhere, including Thailand, I sure as hell wouldn't be playing online poker. Obviously if you are staying there for an extended period of time its different.

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
Well this thread is called "LIVING IN THAILAND" not vacationing in Thailand so I think that explains everything.

I was referring to all the people that were asking questions about connecting to the internet. On a side note what is the usual alcoholic drink of choice there? Is it the same stuff that is over here? Do they drink much beer? |

Oh man, just finished reading everything. Degen, how is the golf around there? Also, have you been playing for long? I play to a 13ish handicap and am addicted to golf (among other things). [/ QUOTE ] It is golf heaven here. There are tons of golf courses around including Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones designed courses etc. The Amata course is where they host some big tournaments and it is the nuts. One hole has an island green that you take a boat out to! Green fees including caddy are from 500baht and up. That is about $13 -$75 ish. It is great having your own caddy, it makes you feel like a pro golfer. hehe.. The caddies are often cute girls too. I recommend Panya Park about an hour from Bangkok city center. I'm going tomorrow morning actually [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Check out this site for some good info on courses in thailand: http://www.thaigolfer.com ps. Some Driving ranges are very nice here too. All-Star Driving complex and the one at RCA are good. pps. Killer place to buy golf stuff is in Silom in the Thaniya building. 4 floors of golf stores. All the big names and also used stuff. Epic. Golf kicks ass. |

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
I prefer Singha. Beer chang is usually reserved for farang who are scraping their last bacht out of their pockets. It tastes like ass and gives you a huge hangover.
Heinken is made locally jhere so its not exactly the same as you migh tbe used too. Thais drink [censored] wisky (rum) which can be purchased very cheap. The traditional drink while parting is to take a 5th of sangsom and 1 redbull and 1 coke and mike in a bucket of ice. This is called a "bucket" naturally. I like to goto places that server good beer though (Guiness ) mmmmmm |
