Bok Ding Rules...in English?

Postby Mudshark » May 17, 2011, 10:50 am

Would anyone know a source of Bok Ding (literal translation - "jump up" ???) rules...in English. I've also heard it referred to at Bok Bhet, Bok Gaew (make 8, make 9: sorry for the lousy transliterations).

Why I ask is I get dragged into playing what we call "Thai girl poker" often while I am working in Vancouver and go for dinner at someone's house who has a Lao or Thai wife here. So I"ve had the rules explained to me so many ways...would be much better if I could read the rules over in English....but haven't found anything by goggling it.

Thanks! Graham

It took me a while to decypher 'bok' but I think this is what you're looking for:
In Thai it's also known as ป๊อกแปดป๊อกเก้า (Bawk 8 bawk 9)
Thai rules at http://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/แปดเก้า
English rules at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok_Deng
Hope it's what you were looking for.
Homework done.
