Hi everybody,

I've been thinking about possible inroads into Thailand in terms of work etc, and have realised that it will be quite difficult for me to get a job there (with the help of forum users) because my two qualifications relate to 'protected' industries: Law & Accounting.

However, I've been thinking maybe I could trial for a football club there. I'm by no means the world's greatest player, but I play here in Australia in the Victorian Premier League, which is semi-professional. I don't take it too seriously, because it is always treated as secondary to work.

A lot of players from this league have directly transferred to the premier leagues in Malaysia, Singapore etc, as well as Australia's 'A-League'.

I was just wondering if anybody has information on how to actually trial with a club, and whether it would be worth my while.

I'm 22 years old and have played in the VPL (previously VPL U20s) for the last 6 years. I also had trials with a couple of English clubs when I was 14-15, but nothing came to fruition.

Thanks in advance!!

I have seen some Africans in the Thai Premier League, and even a white man with an English name once, so it's possible. It's actually considered semi-professional, as well, so you may be good enough to warrant a contract. However, I think the pay is quite low, actually. Monthly salary might be along the lines of an English teacher, really. I know some people that may know some people that may some people that could get you a tryout. Not sure, though.

sorry, about your protected career thingy - i know about 10 farang guys that are either lawyers or accountants and work for big firms.

perhaps just a title thing?

maybe you can ask peter reid if you can assist him with the Thai team?
