what good, non sleazy sports bars will be showing the olympics?

Probably no bars as CNN doesn't have any coverage anywhere in the world......according to what we just heard on their newscast.

You can catch four hours of coverage on Thai Channel 5......obviously the commentators will not be speaking English but maybe that's a good thing.

if you have internet you can watch it on line in english german or spanish ,its free and 3 seconds delayed live

If you are asking about Bangkok then...I watched the opening ceremonies last night at The Big Mango Bar (Sukhumvit Soi 4). They have many large screens on two floors and coverage via satellite from Malaysia, with something like 10+ different Olympic channels (100% coverage) in English. I suspect other bars have similar service.

On which site please? Ta very much.

The Downunder sports bistro (recently re-named Bradmans sports bistro) on Suk soi 23 Has something like 14 big screen TV's with quite a few of them showing the olympics with coverage coming from South African TV on Supersports or Australia network. The bar is girl free except for the bar staff and has an excellent menu plus large variety of local and foreign beers. As long as you can put up with the mainly Aussie/Kiwi/Brit clientelle you shouls enjoy it.
