Bangkok Pool Blues I love the question and the timing. I can't help but mention my recently published book, "Bangkok Pool Blues". AZer Cuaba read it and just posted a very favorable note. You can check out the promotion trailer on you tube under "Bangkok Pool Blues" or check on my publishers...

A pool players heaven Thanks Cuaba, I am learning you can always count on AZers to be supportive (unless you are way off base). I am not sure that Thailand is yet a pool players heaven but with the increasing international action we are getting from top level players (at least the Philipinos...

I was just with the Phillipinos, Effren Reys; Jango Bustamente, Ronnie Alcano, Dennis Orcullo and Roberto Gomez at the SEA games. Ronnie Alcano is just over six feet the rest of them are all about 5 Ft. 8 inches or so. I do think height and ability to reach over the table are an advantage but...

I am not sure how big the money is for the Philipino stars who have come here to the SEA games but I am once again impressed with how nice they and the whole Philipino team are. I have a picture of Reyes, Bustamante, Alcano and Orcullo standing together and cheering on their teammate who was...

I came to Laos to support the Thai team not expecting there to be any items of interest for AZers until I found out that the Philipines had sent a powerhouse team including Efren Reyes; Francisco Bustamante, Ronnie Alcano, , Dennis Orcullo, and the current women's world ten ball champion...

The Mecca of Pool thanks Monto, great shots. I think Manila has become the Mecca of pool. I certainly am planning to make to the next world championship on tap there. I'll tap your mind for advice. :wink:

got to be on the Scene Thanks Jay, you really captured the flow of the action. I think people outside of the pool world have no concept of how it goes outside a major tournament and the Philippines has definitely made itself the world capitol of pool. The are the big boys and Pacman on the...

Great way to build fellowship Hey Monto, great pics and great way to build fellowship amongst the pool crazy community. For Cuaba, I will be out of Bangok up in Laos cheering on the Thai billiards team at the SEA games Dec 10 to 13th. Catch you in Bangkok the week of the 14th . Cheers, Thaitom

Back to Bangkok Hey Cuaba, great video. I look forward to seeing you in Bangkok in a couple of weeks. We will both be in one of the national 9 ball ranking tournaments otherwise you can fine me at Hustlers. Toy is playing 8 ball with the national team and will be going to Vietnam for the Asian...

language problems Hey Sunnyday, I have seen the Taiwanese players at tournaments in Asia and they always make a good impression both in playing the game and in how they handle themselves off the table. It seems to me that they always travel in a group and I think the main problems they have...

Asian women pros and short cues Just to add a comment from Asia. I live in Thailand and shoot pool here and in Singapore and all the women I have seen shooting, including the Thai national team, use 60 inch cues. I don't know about other countries but my impression is that its the same. the...

the best pool vacation - Thailand Thanks to Cuaba and the others who welcomed me to the forum. I believe Thailand may be the best pool players vacation possible. The scene changes periodically but there are excellent places to play, and good competition in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pattaya. If...
