If you go to one of these addresses, you can dowload the software and test it out - it would be much appreciated:
http://www.empirepoker.com
http://www.eurobet.com
http://www.pokerstars.com
http://www.partypoker
If one of these sites work, they all should work.
Anyway - found two hotels with internet wireless (in karon and kata, though) - any of you know these?
