Danderman123 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited August 27, 2023 by Danderman123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frantick Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingdongrb Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Here's a great documentary on the game. I have played with or against many of the players seen in this movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10146728/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually expected some sexual innuendos when I posted that. But spinning is even funnier. Edited August 28, 2023 by frantick Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://fmovies.to/movie/foosballers-yv3q1/1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
