Mafia Wars Bangkok Now Live!

Bangkok is now open for everyone! Simply click on the Bangkok tab and click "get your passport", select the clerk as an option, and off you go. Well, almost. There is a chance you can get denied by the clerk and then you will have to wait anywhere from a couple minutes to nearly a day before you can try again.

If you get denied, you can spend 30 godfather points to "Bribe an Official" to get there early (on the same get passport screen). If you do spend the 30 points, you will get access and 3 passports for your friends.

You may also now receive passports from doing jobs in Bangkok. You can send them to your friends that got denied by the clerk.

Thanks Andrew for the pic!

Now that Bangkok is live, you can gift job and fighting drop items!

Edit:

Originally I had not realized how many new items have been added to the game. At this point, I am thinking this is ALL of the episode 3, 4, 5, and 6 loot. There are just too many new pieces for it to be otherwise.

This is really disappointing considering how weak these items are compared to Moscow loot. The only upgrade in this bunch is Lloyds Spectre, which is only a 1 defense upgrade over the Konstantine Cargo Carrier.
