Love Thailand. Dirt cheap here. Never going back to USA.  And I had everything you could ask for there. Sold it all.

 

I live 100 meters from the beach in a rented three bedroom compound in a Thai neighborhood.

 

I don't live around Farangs. that makes me happy.

 

Maybe the op should visit Hua Hin. Not so many sexpats here. Sort of boring in a good way.

 

Many married Farang/Thai couples here to socialize with. And many positive activities.

 

Don't forget to exercise so you don't get too depressed. and don't get played by you know who.

 

you are the boss of you.

 

 

And may I add, the only person who can make you feel bad about yourself, is you. 

Yes! It's infuriating that the Radio5Live commentary has now been blocked. They were obviously teasing us.

If this hasn't already been posted, it explains why getting an English language commentary in Thailand will be difficult. Blame FIFA.

I'd be really interested to know whether the big sports bars like Gullivers have managed it.

TrueVisions explains lack of English commentary

In response to Graham Doven's letter of June 9 regarding the lack of English commentary for the upcoming World Cup, TrueVisions would like to outline reasons for this situation. Unfortunately, TrueVisions is not able to provide an English-language commentary because, as the purchaser of the coverage from the local license holder, RS International Broadcasting and Sports Co Ltd, such service is not on offer.

In the past, TrueVisions had never broadcast the World Cup, as it has always been carried on free TV. However, as we have just launched our high definition service, TrueVisions believes it is good timing to be the sub-broadcasting licensee for the HD signal. Football fans can always watch the tournament on free TV but we wish to provide a crystal clear HD signal to our subscribers.

It is not a matter of TrueVisions paying extra for English commentary, but because that service is not available for us to purchase from the licence holder. TrueVisions' is only the sub-broadcasting licensee for the high definition signal.

This is not the fault of RS International Broadcasting but is due to restrictions by the original provider of the World Cup, Fifa, which is not allowing English commentary in Thailand due to the high broadcast piracy problem among neighbouring countries.

However, suggestions will be considered for the improvement of our service in the future.

"This is not the fault of RS International Broadcasting but is due to restrictions by the original provider of the World Cup, Fifa, which is not allowing English commentary in Thailand due to the high broadcast piracy problem among neighbouring countries." We see. So Fifa's position is that there are blocking the English commentary to combat the problem of neighboring countries pirated the broadcast. So they are saying no body would want the coverage without commentary. And of course, they are correct.

What is troubling about True Visions corporate-speak is that they knew this was going to be a problem for their English speaking subscribers. Had they announced this early on, say a week or two in advance, we wouldn't be scrambling around for an alternative audio feed. If they had more concern about their subscribers rather than assigning right or wrong to this issue, they wouldn't be having the PR problem they are having yet again.
