Almost Time To Say Goodbye to Thailand

Date: Wed, Jan 9, 2008

Sorry I haven’t written in a few days. I’m starting to come out of my holiday bliss and getting ready to jump on a jet back to reality. I have to say that I’ve been really disappointed with Bangkok this trip. Not to say that I’ve had a bad time here. [...]

Phil Hellmuth Heart Phil Hellmuth

Date: Thu, Jan 3, 2008

Not that it comes as a surprise to anyone who follows poker but Robin Millard reporting from London for the Bangkok Post has some great quotes from the best poker player in the world (Phil’s opinion, not mine). Maybe there’s 100 people who are better than me. But they haven’t found the game yet. [...]

Two Interesting Articles on Online Poker

Date: Thu, Jan 3, 2008

For those of you craving some poker content; feast away: I ran across two interesting articles the other day I thought I would share. First comes from The Sentinel and profiles a young Josh Froment who buried himself in debt to go to college. He had loans, credit card debt, the whole lot. [...]

So I Was On My Way to the Palace . . .

Date: Thu, Jan 3, 2008

Today I took a boat up the river and stopped at Wat Pho to take some photographs of the Reclining Buddha. Before I had left out for the day I had heard that the King’s elder sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, had unfortunately passed away the previous night due to complications arising [...]

More Phuket and Some Pimpage

Date: Sun, Dec 30, 2007

Now that I’m back in BKK I have access to some reliable internet connectivity so I can upload photos from the last few days. The other day I went on a little eco tour in Phuket. It was a little touristy but we got to see an elephant show, ride some elephants through [...]

2007 Prediction Scorecard

Date: Sat, Dec 29, 2007

As the end draws to a close and the good and bad of the UIGEA has mostly played out or has progressed far enough to identify trends I thought it would be a good idea to go back over what I wrote over the last several months. Some of the things I predicted were [...]

How to Stage a Coup 101

Date: Fri, Dec 28, 2007

As I mentioned in a previous post, Thailand had their first elections since the military took control about a year ago. Now I don’t want to be critical but I think one of the things you should learn in military academy is how to properly execute a coup. Thailand’s big dog in the [...]

Christmas in Phuket

Date: Thu, Dec 27, 2007

Caught the Air Asia flight from BKK to Phuket on Christmas morning. Can’t really recommend Air Asia though. I had a 10:50am flight that took off sometime around 12:30. I got the impression that they consolidated two flights as some people had been waiting a long time for the flight and the [...]

Tragedy Strikes

Date: Sun, Dec 23, 2007

On Dec 23rd the fine folks of Thailand will be electing a new government. Seems in Sept of 2006 the military didn’t like the way billionaire Prime Minister Mr. Thaksin was running the joint and decided to stage a bit of a coup. So Mr. Thaksin went on the lamb and ended up [...]

The Art of the Scam

Date: Sat, Dec 22, 2007

I’ve always told people that I never worried about getting mugged in Thailand because if the Thai’s want to rip you off they’ll do it with a smile and have you thanking them for doing it. Case in point, last trip to Thailand I walked out of the arrivals terminal and was greeted by [...]

People Who Annoy Me

Date: Sat, Dec 22, 2007

Perhaps that title is misleading because if I were to do a complete list Google might choke on the amount of content. I flew out of Hyderabad on Friday night and encountered two total tools. First is smelly guy sitting next to me. Hey, far be it from me to dictate [...]

Traveling Through Germany and India

Date: Thu, Dec 20, 2007

Just a quick update and some comments I’m sure will set someone off. Flew from Spain to Frankfurt. Sort of felt sad that I had to get up so early in the morning because I would have loved to take the hour or so drive out to Wiesbaden where I spent three years [...]
