Official Thailand Football Thread [R]

@ druryfire, actually I am working on a Patch for the EA FIFA Football Manager 08. With update of the database, Badges and Kits for the 3D game. During my research, which actually is pretty tough, I had found some sites in Thailand, where you or maybe somebody else can caught informations on the Thaileagues. Cause I had found out the informations on Google and Wiki are very rarly ant not actual ones.

So I would like to post some links below:

http://www.chonburifc.net - the page of the actual champ

http://www.becterofc.com - Fanclub page

http://www.thailandsusu.com - a good webboard with news and action pictures from the Premiere League down to the 2nd Division

http://www.becterosasana.in.th - looks to me like the official page, but I am not sure

Btw, do you have any idea how the relation to Arsenal London comes to BEC TERO?

http://www.su1000.net/fc - Suphanburi FC Webpage

http://www.coreballthai.com - Anythign about football in Thailand ( but didn't really checked the content so far)

http://www.tobaccofan.th.gs - Tabaccoas Fanpage

http://fbfan.winning.in.th - Very good page about thaifootball and the premiere league ( actually better than the official one)

http://sakonnakhon-fc.justfree.com - I think should be the official one of Sakonnakhon

http://www.customsfc.com - official page of Customs FC

http://www.pea.co.th - page of the Provincial Electricity FC

http://www.krungthai.ob.tc - Official Krung Thai Bank FC page

http://www.sportzy.com - webboard with a lot of action pictures

http://www.phitlokfc.com - Official page

http://www.bkkfc.com - Bangkok FC webpage

http://www.peafc.com/peafc.html - Official page of the Provincial Electricity FC

http://ofc.osotspa.co.th - Official Osotspa page

http://www.nakhonpathomfc.com Official Nakhon Pathom page

So basically that's all I have. Maybe it can help someone.
If I am wrong with my post, sorry for that, you can delete it. Just wanted to Help to collect and grasp some informations.

 

I am trying to find out through my Uncle when the season begins for Nakhonratchasima (Korat) and if its in the Pro League. Although being born in Bangkok I don't follow any team in the Premier League. I have been in England 15 years. I am a member of a Thai/UK group with over 2,000 members.

 

Thankyou Locomotiv lots of interesting sites to visit.

 

@ Thai in Notts, mai pen arai.

As you are from Korat, I had forgot to add one URL. So it might can help you.

It is from Korat Football.

http://www.footballkorat.com

 

Thankyou Locomotiv for the Korat Football web address and Druryfire for the list of past League Champions.

 

@ druryfire, is it possible to find out somewhere the promoted teams to Divison one from two? Even I checked all pages, I couldn't find the information. Or the information was written in Thai. ANd I am not able to read it. I guess as most of the Farangs.

 

Basically this sounds typically Thailand. And sometimes on other hand why we do love the people and the country.

Totally agree with you. Thais are so crazy for football, might be there some several other reasons like betting, but I think the shadow of the FA Premiere League is too big. BP and National need to report on two pages about foreign leagues, espacially the big 4 in England. But on the other hand, those Papers are made for the Farangs mostly. I think only a few percentage of the Thais is reading them. Well when I am down in Thailand, I appreciate the reports about the foreign leagues, good for me (us) to be updated. But I wouldn't had anything against, to read something about the Thai League in there as well. And so far, as I could see from the Thai Newspapers, well, it seems the prority is somewhere else as well. Seems like sometimes it is more intersting what Tata Young and Khun Prem are doing.

Anyway, my hope will die at last. If I can catch any information, I will post of course. And when I am in Thailand next time, that's for sure, I will visit a game.

Btw, so far as I could see from the Thai Wiki, it seems that the Divison one will have only 16 Teams this year, and only one League. No A and no B.
And that the first 3 will be promoted to the Premiere League. Due to all the infos I could catch up so far, I think about to edit the at least the German or English Wiki about Thai Football.

If Thailand, one time, really should attand to the World Cup, which I dream to see, there is still a long way to go. And maybe the FAT should look to J League or cooperate with them, to learn something. But maybe this is a little bit against the "watontam thai".

 

What is watontam?

 

Maybe you should speak it like watanatam thai. Simply saying it's the "Thai Culture." or "Nature" in that case.

 

I put a message out on the Nakhonratchasima (Korat) website and a guy led me to a site that will give all the fixtures, results and tables in English for Thailand Premier League, Division One and Group A and B for Division Two. If you click on the club name some of them have a website.

@ Thai in Notts, Korp Khun mak mak. You have saved my day. Sensationell.
Exactly what I needed for my Thailand Patch. And indeed it means, that the FAT have changed the 2nd League from a 2 Group system to a one league system.

 

Just makes shaking me my head. But hopefully the are able to get some play experiance there.

Btw, does anyone has an idea whether Th. PL will be shown on Thai TV this weekend? I was reading someting like 16:00 (Thai time) on Channel 11 but I am not sure.

 

I,ve been told Thai Provincial League begins on the weekend 22/23 March but the clubs have not had their fixtures yet. My father has set up a Thai Football Group at Yahoo based in the UK. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Thaileaguefootball/

 

Don't worry mate.

The Kick Off Day is tomorrow. The first Games are Kick Off 16:00 Local time (Thai).

Check out here at Chonburis Webside http://www.chonburifc.net/
Directly under News. Even it is in Thai, it is easy to identify, the Date and the Kick off times of the games.

And there will be also a possibility that we are able to see a live game. And it should be Krung Thai Bank vs BEC TERO at 16:00 local time.
It will be shown on True Vision Sports Channel 3, at least according to True Visions Schedule.

I have requested a stream via MyP2P.

http://golf.cautela.nl/showthread.php?p=254647&posted=1#post254647

I also was reading that Channel 11 will have a coverage starting from 16:00. But I am not sure at all. I also have not been able to find a schedule of Channel 11, and I cannot remember where I had read that they will have a coverage.

But you can check tomorrow 16:00 Channel 11 via that one :

http://www.siamtv.org/start.html

But it only works with IE and Media Player, as it is Active X.
If you are using FFox, let me know, I'll have a solution for that.

Btw, Chonburi was playing that week vs Krung Thai Bank already and had won 1:0 as it seems. There was also a live coverage from this game on True Vision and Channel 11, but I had read that too late. But I have no Idea what kind of that was. But for sure it wasn't a League game.

@ Thai in Notts,
thanks for the info. I will join the group I guess. Hopefully it is in English

Division Two seems also to start very late in the Year. Cause if you check
on FAT webside ther are only Premiere League and Diviosn 1 is set up so far. www.fat.or.th/

That's all for now, and I hope it has been some valuable informations for everybody.

 

Ok, so in the meantime MyP2P has added the game to their schedule.

Can't wait and hope that TrueSports will really cover and the channel will be online.
