ANY B&M poker in Southeast Asia?
I'm travelling in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia for the next month. Curious whether there's anywhere to play poker - I'm not looking for serious action, I just think it would be kind of a hoot to find a game while I'm there. I understand that pretty much all gambling is illegal in Thailand. I've read that there are casinos in Poipet, Cambodia (near Thai border) with poker tables - has anyone ever played there? Any other experiences with poker in SE Asia?
thanks -huge |

No. Not even Macau (Asia's Vegas) has poker.

I thought Russian roulette was the big game there?

PS: Since this is the B&M forum, I'd like to point out that a field trip to Maccau is required within the next year or so. Lets Gamb00l! TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] |

A clue: watch the movie "Deer Hunter"

Re: ANY B&M poker in Southeast Asia?
Sorry, Henrik, didn't check back in time. Yes, my post was merely a cheap and lame reference to the Russian roulette scenes in "The Deer Hunter" which I assumed to be stock popular culture in the English-speaking world. I was clearly wrong, so sorry about that.
The IMDB will summarize the film for you much more succinctly than I could: take a look. |
