Medical tourism Thailand situated can offer to the Thailand medical tourist the chance to find some of the innovative contributing factors to the roots of progressively damaged, which leads to the development of the condition.
You may find, in your medical tourism Thailand experience, that the opinions of examiners concerning the causes and the potential treatments of neurological diseases are rather different.

Comparing online poker and traditional poker – Part 5
December 31, 2009 by bkkpkerplayer
Filed under Online Gambling
To many people today, comparing online poker to traditional live poker is like comparing the two Darrens on “Bewitched”; they both accomplish the same thing, but in two different ways. Online poker, especially since the “poker boom” of 2003 has become the number one way of people to learn the game. And, because of this, it has many of the “old school” live playing rounders shaking their heads in disbelief at what has become of their game.
The average game of Texas Hold Em, when played in a live setting, is a slow, almost tedious game. Between looking at the cards, counting out their chips for a bet, and contemplating a call and a raise, a full, 10 handed game will see maybe 30 hands per hour. According to the experts, you will fold almost 90% of your hands pre flop, in essence being involved in only 3 or so hands per hour. Compare it to the speed of an online game: As many as 120 hands per hour are possible. There is no need to count your chips; the computer does it for you. Most online sites give only 15-30 seconds to make a decision. The inherent speed of this game is the biggest difference. To an online player playing live for the first time, it can mind-numbingly dull, especially after only 3 hands in an hour.
The decision making process is also extremely different. Most people play for low limits (less then $100 a session). When only red and blue circles on a computer screen represent your poker playing bankroll, the money doesn’t seem “real”. It isn’t unusual to see a player putting his entire bankroll at stake on a flush draw. But, when the clay chips in front of you, in your hands, on the green felt, across from a guy with a nickname like “Buggy” staring you down with icicles in his eyes represent next months car payment, you think twice about calling a pot sized raise on a gut shot.
The strategy in both online and live play is similar, however, in online play, you have on great disadvantage: you can’t see your opponent. The study of “tells”, little, subconscious things we do when faced with a decision is a real challenge. Maybe Kohn always covers his mouth when he is bluffing. Mary can’t stop fidgeting with her hair when she has a strong hand. These tells can save, or cost you tons of money in a live game. Online, however, your opponent “Mr. Scary” is represented only by a flashing gold circle. He could be biting his nails, or eating chow mein for all you know. Some great online players have come up with “online tells” such as a betting patterns and the quickness of a decision. The faster the bet, the weaker the hand is the rule. To both online and live players, reading your opponent is one of the biggest advantages you can get in the game. Both players must make the necessary adjustments when venturing into the new version on their old game.
The greatest thing about online poker is the availability of a game, any time, anywhere. You don’t to drive 2 hours to the nearest casino, or book a trip to Vegas. You can just flip on your computer, and within minuets you are playing. This of course is also the downfall of many players. In a casino, when the money is gone, you go home. It’s a big psychological blow to the ego to have to go to the ATM for more money. Lost your roll on pokersite.com? Just add to your account with your bankcard, who’s gonna know?
In all, the game is the same, just the way you approach is different. It’s extremely hard to be successful in one version, but horrible at another. But, if you need to practice, online is the way to go. If you’re losing at both online and live, then sell the computer, put away the chips and take up golf. At least you’ll get out of the house.
Winning Sit And Go No Limit Texas Holdem Tournament Strategy.
December 31, 2009 by bkkpkerplayer
Filed under Poker Strategy
No Limit Texas Holdem has become one of the most popular types of poker played. No Limit Holdem Poker Tournaments have become especially popular since you can enter a tournament for as little as a $1 up to $1000’s of dollars depending on your pocket book. Since No Limit Holdem has been televised it has grown in popularity. One of the nuances of this type of pokers new found popularity is the emergence of Sit and Go Poker Tournaments. These tournaments are mini versions of their bigger counterparts. The Entry field is usually limited to one table. Their are also bigger Sit n Go tournaments that consist of 5 or 6 tables or more. One other differentiation of these types of tournaments is that they form when enough players sign up, for example if you have a 10 man Sit and Go it will start as soon as 10 players pay the entry fee.
The Structure of Sit and Go poker games is much like regular tournaments. Blinds go up anywhere from every 6 to 15 minutes and the starting stacks are usually somewhere in between 1500 to 3500 in chips. You will find Sit and Go poker tournaments at most online poker rooms as well as some brick and mortar casino poker rooms. Usually the top 3 players are paid out in a 10 man sit and go. Depending on the Sit and Go structure the payout varies. It is best to look at the tournament lobby and find out what the set up is.
Below are some tips for playing Sit n Go Poker Tournaments:
First of all try and find a game that has a decent chip stack and slow moving blinds. Generally a decent structure looks like 1500 in chips and 8 minute blinds. the more minutes and the more chips the more the game will favor skill versus luck. This is mainly because if you are not in a hurry to play you can play a tight aggressive strategy which is ideal for most tournaments.
I would try a medium buy in of 10 dollars up to twenty dollars to start with depending on what you can afford. If the buy in is really low expect the game to be super wild. I therefore favor games at least 10 and up to start with. Ideally you will win enough to get a bank roll big enough to move up to higher stakes games.
The ideal strategy for these games is to play a tight aggressive game until the blinds get high enough to warrant a change in strategy. Usually if you will fold all your marginal hands in the beginning and be patient by the time you reach the second or third blinds level several players will have been knocked out. So hand selection is important. Early in the tournament play hands like: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, 1010, and AJ aggressively raise for value and play the hand as you usually would. If you meet much resistance with some of the lower pairs or you don’t catch a pair fold and don’t invest to much. Limp in with any pocket pair 99 to maybe 55 or 66 and hope to spike a set if you don’t get out. If someone raises preflop fold. The main idea here is to not get involved in hands that will break you early on since only the last 3 players remaining get paid you want to let the other guys knock themselves out. Every time someone gets knocked out you get closer to the money. some of these games you will see get crazy early on. Just stay out of the way and let the crazies kill themselves off.
Once you get down to about 5 players and the blinds get high you want to loosen up some of your hand selection and try and run some positional raises. If you have been playing tight then you should have a tight enough table image now to get away with some steals. Don’t over do it but raise in late pos with hands like A8 all the way to A3 if no one has entered the pot before you. If you have been playing tight the other players should have picked up on this and give you some respect. When you get down to 4, players will really start to tighten up because they are so close to a money finish. Once you see that happening take advantage and try to make some steal bets. Down get overly involved if you meet too much resistance get out of there unless you have a hand that you can win with. This style of play is usually the reverse of what your weaker opponents will do. Usually they will play a lot of hands early and deplete a certain amount of their chips early on and try to get lucky. Then they will tighten up when the blinds get higher. Since ideally the best way to play is the opposite of what everyone else is doing this poker tournament strategy advocates playing tight early and then loosening up later in the game to try and build a chip stack that will carry you in to the money.
Once you get down to 3 and you have hit the money. You can either get real aggressive and try for first place or sit tight and let the other guys take each other out and go for a sure second. This depends on your stack. If you get to 4 to 5 times the blinds and you are third make a move. If you can steal some blinds or win a showdown you should be guaranteed second. Their is a piece of poker tournament software that I used called sit and go shark which was really a great tool in finding a working strategy for this type of game. It is still available but unfortunately does not work in many poker room’s where U.S. players can currently play for money.
I hope this helps to give an idea of how to play no limit holdem sit and go poker tournaments. Their is more to it then can be stuffed in to just one article, however just making these few adjustments should help get you in the money more often in these types of poker tournaments. Its really a general strategy advocated for tournaments by many of today’s successful poker pro’s.

Travel destinations in Thailand – Part 4
December 30, 2009 by bkkpkerplayer
Filed under Bangkok Travel
Getting to Pattaya
Pattaya is about 1.5 hours from the new Suvarnabhumi (pronounced Sa-worn-a-poom) airport, or about a 2-hour taxi ride from Bangkok.
From Bangkok you can go by taxi, (pay no more than 1200 baht for a nice new shiny taxi) most drivers will go at the drop of a hat 24 hours a day in my experience. If your staying at a hotel, tell one of the staff outside who deal with taxis that you want a new cab and you don’t want to pay more than 1200 and let them deal with it, but if they start to push you onto some taxis parked nearby and start swearing that its more, just walk off and find your own taxi it is one of the easiest places to get taken to, as it’s a nice break for the taxi driver from the nightmare start-stop of Bangkok traffic. There are always taxi drivers who wont be able to see past the fact you are a foreigner and will try to go for 1500-2000 baht, but in a city with a taxi every 30 seconds just close the door and wait for the next. For those who just love to haggle every last baht out of a deal 1000 is the lowest I ever heard a Thai person getting it for, but 1200 is your stress free number.
Your other cheaper option is the Bus leaving from Ekamai bus terminal; the bus takes about 2.5 hours. Take the BTS or a taxi to the Ekamai BTS station. The bus terminal is at the lights at the corner of Sukhumvit 63 (Soi Ekamai) & Sukhumvit Road. The bus terminal is on the other side of Sukhumvit Rd, not on the Soi Ekamai side. The bus at the time of writing is about 120 baht, buses leave very frequently so no need to find a timetable or try and ring for a ticket, just head to the bus terminal before 9pm (buses leave till about 11pm I think but who wants to arrive at 1am?)
The train does go to Pattaya, but not as frequently as the bus. Also the train station is not located in a nice easy to access area like Ekamai, and it is not as cheap or as fast.
One can also rent a car and drive, I recommend Highway Car Rental opposite Lumpini Park (026339999) as they have good cheap cars and can speak English over the phone, cars from 800 baht. Though making a booking is almost pointless, as they seem not to do anything, and just deal with you when you turn up. WARNING driving in Bangkok can reduce your fun and increase your stress, I do not advise it for vacationers, but for backpackers and adventurers it can maximize your baht and increase your potential to get off the beaten track. Driving directions are best made from Sukhumvit Road, as it runs the whole way from Bangkok to Pattaya. Find Sukhumvit Road, drive along it heading for the On-nut end of the BTS and when you get to what seems like the end of it, get onto the huge freeway heading to the right and then make sure you get onto the raised freeway part in about 1-2 kilometers and then follow the signs. If you miss the entry ramp to the raised part of it, it’s a terrible bit of road but still goes to the same place and still has the signs so don’t have heart failure if you miss it. 95% of signs in Thailand are in English and Thai and should make sense.

Discover the Beauty of Pattaya

Filed under Bangkok Nightlife
Pattaya is an enchanting destination, located along a pictorial bay on the East Coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 150 km southeast of Bangkok, in Chon Buri province. Once a typical fishing village, Pattaya underwent a great revival when a troop of American Military, consisting of about 100 servicemen, who joined the Vietnam War came here for relaxation on 29 April 1961.
Soon, Pattaya became a premier vacation spot of Thailand. The destination has now evolved into a favorite holiday beach resort of Southeast Asia, and boasts of everything that is required for a luxurious vacation, such as, more than 400 assorted hotels and resorts, city-like dining options, excellent shopping facilities, and intoxicating nightlife. Additionally, this incredible beach resort is only second to Bangkok in high rise structures.
Due to its proximity to Bangkok, Pattaya is a popular weekend getaway for the city’s dwellers. It is estimated that this exotic beach destination welcomes more than five million tourists every year. Further, inspired by the tranquility as well as the excellent options it render, many Americans, Europeans, and people from East Asian destinations, including professionals, families, and retired people, have now started to settle down here.
The focal point of Pattaya is undoubtedly its unspoilt beach, categorized into north, south, and central. Stretching from the Dolphin roundabout near Dusit Resort, North Pattaya, otherwise known as Pattaya Neau, is perhaps the most peaceful among the beaches in the area. Located south of the North Pattaya is the Central Pattaya beach, a perfect spot for fun and recreation. This beach area is packed with boutique shops, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Nearby Central Pattaya is South Pattaya, which attracts many fun-loving travelers. With a variety bars, discotheques, and nightclubs, the area becomes energetic during night. In short, this destination is for adults only.
Located south of Pattaya beach is Jomitien Beach, which is another thriving beach in the area. Dong Tan is also a much famed beach in Pattaya. All of the beaches in the area provide options to enjoy an array of fun-filled as well as recreational activities.
For instance, if you are a diving enthusiast, Pattaya has diving shops to offer PADI and NAUI certificate courses and that too at affordable rates. For expert divers, the Ko Rin and Ko Man Wichai offer great options. Windsurfing is another great activity that can be enjoyed here. Jomtien Beach is regarded as a center of windsurfing, the evidence for which is the board competitions that are conducted by the Pattaya Windsurf Club. Likewise, the southern and northern parts of Pattaya beach and Jomtien beach are considered an excellent spot for water skiing.
But, the activities that are available at Pattaya are not just confined to water sport activities. For example, Pattaya, together with Chon Buri, offer great facilities for golf lovers, with a number of golf courses designed by world-famous golfers. Similarly, with two alleys of international standards, Pattaya offers excellent choices for activities like bowling. Some great options are available for game lovers, such as paintball, with an exclusive ground in order to play the game. Those visiting the paintball ground can also take a visit to small racing ground nearby, which is especially designed for go-kart racing. A myriad of other activities can also be enjoyed in Pattaya such as traditional Thai massage, taking Thai cooking classes, and learning Thai culture and language.
However, Pattaya provides more than beach, island tours, and nightlife. In addition to water sport activities and shopping, the city provides a feast of attractions for sightseers and nature lovers. Among which, most significant are:
- Million Years Stone Park and Pattaya Crocodile Farm, boasting of beautiful rock gardens, more than 200 years old bonsai trees, and a great collection of animal species such as albino bears and crocodiles
- Elephant Village, where display of training methods as well as elephant rides are available
- Funny Land Amusement Park, which is a great area for both grown-ups and children, with specialties like Swing Vikings Ship, Samba Tower, Slalom Roller Caster, Family Swinger, Demolition Derby, Musical Carousel and a Monorail
- Siriporn Orchid Farm, where you can see an astounding array of orchids such as catteleyas, vandas, daedrovium, escosanda and pompadours
- The Bottle Art Museum, which has on display a great selection of over 300 glass bottles consisting of replicas of churches, palaces, and temples
- Mini Siam, a miniature city with replicas of about 80 sacred places as well as most prominent historical sites in the country
With these umpteen attractions, it is no wonder why people flock here throughout the year. Hence, the growing number of tourists has led to a tremendous increase in the number of hotels and resorts. Pattaya has accommodation to suit every taste and pocket. Luxury lovers can take advantage of upscale hotels and resorts coupled with top-end facilities and comforts.
Many of the hotels and resorts in the area offer excellent packages inclusive of 3 or 4 night accommodation, dining, and facilities to enjoy some of the activities in the area. Some even customize this package according to your requirements.

If you are planning to find a property in Bangkok, you may also consider the sales comparison approach in order to make sure that you are going to pay the right price for a particular property that you have chosen by yourself. Therefore, you will need to know the prices that are related to similar properties in order to compare them; the final decision should be based on this comparison in order to stay away from possible frauds that can occur if you do not pay enough attention to the features that are implied by every selling contract. The possible sales and even the properties are to be inspected in order to decide which price is more likely to suit your wallet before rushing into buying the first Thai property.
