The England matches are shared between BBC and ITV . http://www.teatimetv.to/ has catch-up for those middle of the night matches.

https://www.firstonetv.net/Live/United-Kingdom does not have catch-up.

Or you can pay peanuts for https://connect-th.beinsports.com/en at 49/99/199 baht per 24 hours/week/month for complete coverage.

Then there is https://hdprime.tv which has many sports channels, BBC and ITV and catch-up, but I don't know which channels will be showing the matches. 400 baht for the month but you have to register and some might find their payment method is a bit awkward.

As stated above, Thai tv is also showing all matches but we probably won't be sure what language we can access until it starts. Maybe someone knows (rather than guesses or assumes).

What does "catch-up" mean....is that highlights, or a delayed broadcast?

LOL, he trusts the answers from a bunch of anonymous strangers in a web forum more?

Maybe the operation was for amnesia?

2 wins v Panama and Tunisia is all we need to get out that group. That's as good as banked so we will not be exiting at the group stage. 

 

The 9 pointer could even be on by the 3rd game.

 

 

England will be knocked out early as usual. Probably the most overrated team on the planet.

There is no reason to mention their gender identity in such headlines. It stirs hate and prejudice against a group who are generally harmless and work in many areas of Thai life and culture. The perpetrators were criminal and thieves.  The fact they were lady boys is irrelevant and sensationalist, hate mongering.

You sound like a dramaqueen...errrrr I mean dramaperson, errrrr, or are we not allowed to use that either by your nonsensical guidelines?

Exactly. It's hilarious to me that so many people don't get that dishes like Pad Thai are arguably less healthy than a Big Mac.

Luckily you included the word "arguably", as your post is incorrect

Here is  some basic info with links.

Pad thai  480

Big Mac 890

English brekkie 1126

The blood was removed from black pudding more than 40 years ago. It was replaced by a dye.

Fake news, unless you can reference a credible source.

"the majority of modern black pudding recipes involve pork blood "

I would prefer to have a stack of buttermilk pancakes with butter, sausage patties, hash browns, an egg easy over,  a glass of fresh squeezed OJ, and bottomless cup of good black coffee.

 

But you go ahead and have your eggs, beans, sausage, and toast.

 

Pancakes sound a bit dry without maple syrup.

Besides being tastier, it keeps you going all day, unlike a pad thai.

Nonsense.  I got a sore stomach just looking at that greasy mess of a meal in OP.  Guaranteed that 99% of people who eat this are obese or overweight.  Pad Thai is wayyyyyyyyyyyy better and healthier to boot.

My lord but are you fool who is obviously well beyond his scope of understanding.

 

There are firworks shows and festivals like this all over the world, where the fireworks are sychonized with music, in vancouver, the symphony ochestra sets up on the beachfront to perform live.

 

It is quite a dramatic event with the visuals of the fireworks and the explosions adding percussive emphasis to the symphonys performance. 

 

As for yor remark about saftey reasons for avoiding the music, that is so laugable i chose to idnore it.

 

 

You can "idnore" it if you want, but what about people who don't like classical music.  Some may prefer Guns and Roses, or jazz.  And people ignore safety at their peril. I would not want to be at any event (including a bbq) organized by such a dangerous and irresponsible fool.

I have bought central seats for this display in past years and will be doing it again tomorrow.

It sounds like you are trying to justify spending money on something.  Fireworks are a spectacle in and of themselves, and actually generate sound in case you didn't notice.  Your cinematic strawman argument don't wash.   If I want music I will choose my own, but for safety reasons would prefer the fireworks with their natural sound.  I have provided an aide for your edification

The before photo showed how the whole stretch used to be with more natural native salt water tolerant trees with very good shade and root systems to slow erosion and no coconuts to drop on your head.

 

Though  one tree last year did  drop a branch on a tourists head and kill him..the tree was then beheaded.

Those old casuarina trees are always losing branches and are dangerous.  A palm lined beach is sustainable and provides free coconuts!

Yes, the absurd fifty dollar charge for an affidavit is not quite enough of a rip off. The reaction of officials at Thai Immigration when told what we pay for a LETTER,  is very instructive. Ripped off by both sides. If you don't like it, stay in your native country and live in penury.

No free lunches anymore pal!  Free riders and penny pinchers have a very limited range of options/rights.

These fireworks events are choreographed to music and the show is designed to be seen from a certain position on the beach, the central stage area. If you go anywhere else you'll see fireworks, but you'll miss out on the whole point of the event. It's not like NYE when people are randomly exploding fireworks over a large area.

Why not wear headphones and listen to your own music?

thats a good point actually, but is there any yacht for sale with such a short notice ?

also wonder if price is right here in pattaya or if i'm better off buying one in australia ?

It may be a technology problem, but there have been issues with this every time I have ever gone to the outreach. Unless you are sitting at the front, it is difficult to understand the announcement of the numbers. You would think that they could provide visuals as well as audio. Large cue cards and a magic market are not expensive.

 

 

Maybe they should start charging 500 baht admission?  That way they could afford all the bells and whistles, power point presentations etcetc.

Today, they had a woman announcing the numbers that was so incompetent with microphone technique that her announcements were nearly impossible to hear because of distortion

Sounds like a technology problem.  Maybe it wasn't her fault.

what about from a yacht out in the bay?

When they cut down the big trees on many sections of the beach and planted the rows and rows of cluttered palm trees to take their place that beach cleaning machine was useless in many parts of the beach as it was too wide to navigate through the palm tree farms that in spots go all the way to the water go figure

 

 Below is a before and after picture I took of one of the many beaches that were downgraded seriously by someone who made money off killing big beautiful trees

 

 

 PS - be carful of the falling coconuts that could seriously damage anyone under them

 

 

 

I quite prefer the "after" photo.  The water even looks better!
