Formula One On Tv

[treefrog]

I'm moving to BKK soon and love my F1, will I be able to watch the races live on TV and in english? If so, which channels and will I have to get satelite/cable?

Thanks.

All is well in the world my friend... F1 is on Star Sports LIVE with full coverage on both qualifying and race day - including post race analysis. Star Sports is available in nearly all parts of Thailand through UBC which is the most popular Pay TV provider. If you don't want to install it at home then you can find Star Sports in just about any drinking establishment in the Kingdom...

English commentary - no problems.

So - come on down...

Yes, you will be able to watch the F1.

If you go to one of the pubs, however, check their policy.

Whenever an English league football match is scheduled, F1 might be thrown out by demand of the majority.

Thats a good point Axel but most bars in BKK, Patters etc tend to be able to show multiple channels.

I remember one time though in Woodstock when the yank manager had a strop and put HBO on instead of ANY sports. ('All these Limey sports are pissing me off' he ranted). Talk about a mass exodus!! The place emptied in less than 2 minutes!

As for English I once was ready to watch Damon Hill win on the STAR broadcast in my hotel in Rayong when they cut out the English commentary for Chinese 2 minutes before the start! I managed to persuade a moto driver to fire me up to Patters and I got there as the 25th lap had started........

no might about it, unless you complain hard and long it will get switched over.

No advertising, but one of the places in Bangkok usually showing F1 is Gulliver's on Sukh Soi 5. The big screen is with sound, the other monitors around show various other channels and F1 w/out sound.

Check on Saturday if F1 is on next day. Preference is football.

Took me a loooong time to explain that some people might want to wait for the interview after the race and even for the highlights after that, as usually they do switch immediately after the race to other event, even if no football is on.

I used to go there with 5 - 14 people, finally gave up and moved to other places.

Chequers on Sukhmuwit Soi 4 also show every GP and qualifying. I think Bus Stop further down the Soi do as well.
