Has anyone ever beaten a thai girl at connect 4? Most farang ive ever met have always lost. Are they good or what?! I used to be a connect 4 champ. Now they just beat my butt

Yes, I have a friend who is a mathmatician and puzzle junkie who beats them regularly; they get pretty pouty and testy about it.

In Phnom Penh,i can sometimes beat them if i'm sober.

If not,i don't have a chance.

A lot of Thai kids love puzzles, my wife's 7 year old cousin (thai!!) regularly beats me at games like Connect 4 and 0's and X's.
They also love to "play computuuuhhhh gaeeeem". You'll see them packing out internet cafe's and games centres shooting zombies!!

Practice,practice..Used to be pretty good ,but have lost my touch after being away for a year.Snooker (or pool) is another game some of the girls are very good at!

I play Chinese Checkers online with this Phuket bargirl I never met (I've never been there) sometimes. She always wins.

Yep, thrash my Thai girlfriend everytime cause she's never played before, (which is a good sign to me), and now she's my wife! Also taught her Monopoly which she loves.

This made me laugh - It also deserves to be at the top of the list! =)
