As I mentioned on my Mafia Wars Bangkok post, the Thai Passport will be available on the Bangkok launch date.

I understand that some players are doing beta now, but I also heard some unconfirmed reports that some super lucky folks (outside the Beta group) have received the Bangkok passport and can give out 3 Bangkok passports to their Mafia friends and family.

As of writing I cannot confirm this yet since I still don’t have the Bangkok passport. But recent item releases suggests that Mafia Wars Bangkok will be released within the next few days. Some samplers:

The Envelope of Thai Baht, a free gift that you can send your friends.

The Hung Chu Enforcer, a common loot from the Bangkok Crates

For those mafia wars fanatics asking me “How to get Bangkok passport in mafia wars” I will update this blog post as soon as I have new info. Watch out for it OK?

Update:
I now have some Baht for Bangkok 🙂

Update:
I finally got my bangkok passport!

I was doing my regular check with my favorite Facebook games and I noted some new messages while the games loads

Give your email address to FishVille?
Soon, applications won’t be able to send you notifications on Facebook. If you like, you can start receiving emails directly from FishVille.
Emails will be sent to: my Facebook contact email ([email protected])

The message appears when you try Petville and Café World. The email address given is the one I used in registering with Facebook. I consider this information quite confidential and my security-first mindset hinted that I should be paranoid-mode today so I clicked the NO Button.

It is interesting to note that in FishVille they even “encourage” you further by giving away a special fish (Dwarf Angelfish) if you will send your email address to them

So what’s cooking in the café of Facebook and the Game Developers?
Is this “games/apps asking for email address message” isolated to Zynga Games only?
