The Betrayal in Bangkok Mission has expired and you will no longer be able to access Bangkok.
Bangkok is still on the Travel Bar but it is shadowed in the same manner as Cuba and Moscow.
If you attempt to travel to Bangkok anyways, you will get the "Locked Down" message.
Contrary to what Customer Support told us, you can still vault Bangkok Collections.
I vaulted the Chess Set Collection just a few moments ago.
You can't get to your Baht anymore but you can see how much you have on your Profile Page.
Back in the day, it was a big deal to get a Thai Passport. Those lucky enough to be chosen for the beta release were able to give a passport to one of their friends. Soon after, Zynga incorporated the Thai Passport into the game and all players would have to earn one before they could travel to Bangkok. In order to get a Thai Passport, you had to locate a Triad Coin, Yakuza Sake and a Thai Note by doing jobs in New York.
The 3 jobs that dropped these items had a little elephant icon to indicate that the Bangkok items would drop.
Players had to do the jobs until they got one of each item.
Once all items were collected, you had to click on the "Get Your Passport" button.
Then it was possible to travel to Bangkok and start working. It was quite the production.
I checked on a new account and Zynga forgot to take away the Elephant icons. Oops.
I was able to collect a now worthless Triad Coin. Talk about confusing the new players.
There is always the chance that Cuba, Moscow and now Bangkok will return to the game. The Developers and Community Managers have indicated that it won't be anytime soon.

I'm gonna miss Bangkok. I wasn't in the game for Cuba or Moscow so I didn't get to play them and I was about to start Bangkok after fighting there for months and gathering about 100 million Baht to get it all done.
ReplyDeleteSadly, by time I was ready to start, I got the closing notice. I got as far as Episode 5B and still had plenty of money to finish but not enough time.
So that Leaves Brazil, New York and Vegas. Only thing left in those are a few achievements for those of us who are still trying. The money ones in NY and slot one in Vegas. Doesn't look like they are planning on adding more cities? Really not sure about the removal of the timed missions either to concentrate on other things. Seems they are relying more on getting people to spend RP's to get things done now.
ReplyDeleteits really getting boring now...i will miss bangkok robbing...
ReplyDeleteWell you can still technically get your bangkok money. You'd have to go to Las Vegas and convert it to chips. It would be a slow painful process, but if you were hard on chips then converting your funds is one way of going about it.
ReplyDeleteI thought I finished the mission in Bangkok to have it stay open for me as I have just about completed the city anyway. I did the last mission in time and nothing came up after that . So I thought that was it. I hope they work on getting them back open . Not just for the old players but the new ones as well.
