I wanted a few days off so I was deciding between Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Bangkok. KL and Bangkok offered poker games that I wanted because Singapore's main game is SGD5/10. KL to me is boring during the day but Singapore and Bangkok offered plenty of activities. Bangkok and KL are cheaper in regards to hotels and other expenses compared to Singapore so at the end I chose Bangkok.
First night I played poker at a local poker room. Friendly and fun poker. I was doing well until one hand I had kings and ran into aces. But after a while I grinded back to be down just 10k baht and called it a night.
Second night I ran really well and won about 40k baht. After a week away I miss the time in Bangkok. Very relaxed, the game was relatively stressless, wake up late, lunch and massage in the afternoon, nice street food and dinner in the evening.
All in all I would recommend going to Bangkok for poker. The poker scene is still illegal and they rooms are few, but the day activities make it a great spot to chill and grind. Great food, great shopping, the people are nice, every thing is very affordable. I much prefer grinding in Bangkok than Kuala Lumpur or Singapore or Manila.
This was a short trip, a bit of a retreat for myself and after deducting expenses, I am up RM 3k or thereabouts.
where is the room in bangkok?
