I can't say I have ever seen one in operation in Pattaya, although Club Fate allegedly has one in storage.

 

I don't play pool, but I do play foosball.

Foosball is still a thriving sport worldwide. There's numerous tournaments and some with decent payouts but nothing in comparison to the $250k USD ones back in the 70s...  (along with perhaps winning a Porsche)

 

I've played with & against some of the world's best players.

 

I've seen some tables throughout my Thailand travels but I have never seen anyone here playing competitively. 

WTF is Foosball?

There was one pictured in a recent post of the new managers (owners?) of Pothole bar on Chaiyaphoon. Don't know if they got rid of it. 

 

I also used to play tournaments as a goalie, but don't have the wrist snap like I used to.

Just spin the rods like everyone else that doesn't know or appreciate the game....  ????

Here's a great documentary on the game. I have played with or against many of the players seen in this movie.

There is definitely one in a small bar on Soi Lengkee - my gf and her friends were having a game on it some weeks ago........

Walking up Lengkee towards Third Road on the left after Steak and Co and Travellers from memory. Had a small pool table as well at the back.  Saturday night and had one woman working in it..........was not my choice 

No

I actually expected some sexual innuendos when I posted that. But spinning is even funnier.

I watched this again last night as it has been a few years since I last saw it.......

 

I miss my foos friends and the fun I had playing the game over the years.

 

Here's a nice little site to watch it on if you like. I use this site with an ad/pop-up blocker and it does just fine for me on my PC.

 

At least watch the first 5 minutes and you'll be hooked to watch the rest.
