I am a professional poker player who travels a lot, but mostly I play poker online. I was thinking about living in Phuket from September to April as I have been visiting a lot since 1994 and really like the people and the climate.
This would not be possible if there was no way for me to play poker online from servers placed elsewhere in the world. Is it illegal to play online in Thailand?

“It is legal if you play online poker for entertainment only, but illegal under Thai law to play for even small amounts of money. Every online game played for money is illegal in Thailand. ”

Let me break it down :
You mean to tell me that I can't play poker online while visiting Thailand?
I live in the U.S , my bank account is in the U.S .
I have an account with Partypoker
I have a lap top
I visit Thailand :
Playing in my hotel
Playing in the Hotel Lounge with my laptop.
HOW ON EARTH WOULD THE THAI GOVERNMENT have any idea when im depositing and withdrawing from my U.S bank account transaction?
lol unless theres spies everywhere lol...
I think once you're online, you can visit any site worldwide.....
