desi Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) I need to find a Thai radio station (edited) online or not. 88banana.fm seems ok. Then there's RadioBangkok And more here. Any recommendations? The music I prefer includes Jazz, 70's Rock (Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, Squeeze, David Bowie, the Beatles, ACDC...), Big Bands, Musicals, Orchestra (Baroque, Bach, Vivaldi...), Corinne Bailey Rae, Shakira...

TexasRanger Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As I am stuck over here listening to Thai language all the time I prefer to listen to BBC broadcasts from the old country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desi Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 So I guess that's a no... I'm here too. Just not stuck ;-) I do watch the BBC in the evening, just not during the day. UBC has radio stations so I'm not limited to online. But I don't know which ones are consistently decent so I thought I'd ask. I'm not around a lot of Thais anytime (I work alone). And as I'm not into a lot of TV (Thai or otherwise) I thought the radio would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tash Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I've seen "Thai Parliament Radio" referred to a few times, apparently the speakers speak clearly and don't use slang. A good aid to learning the Thai language. It's available on-line, sorry I don't have the link. I think David may have it though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxexile Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) jor sor 100 (jor sor roi) website here a bangkok station , all speech , traffic and weather with the public phoning in with reports of traffic jams , lost kids and pets , interviews with police and witnesses to incidents on the street , reports of belongings left in taxis and phone in discussions of current events and issues . you can hear different accents and speech patterns. first rate announcers / hosts. as with all phone in stations , the eccentrics and crazies get a hearing too , especially late at night. but the helpfulness, common sense, practicality and good spirit of "real" thais shines through. a good website with lots of news and a link to internet radio (that doesnt always work) Edited August 28, 2008 by taxexile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
