The only way your going to watch it in Thailand with English broadcast is to find a bar that has UBC with HD. Other than that it will be in Thai only.

There are numerous bars in Ao Nang broadcasting WC games live. Many have big screen TV. Don't worry !

Your far enough south to hitch a ride.

I have to think your Irish pubs will have you covered. Check in at Paddy's and also the Irish place that is on the beach road in the back, I'm forgetting the name as they charged me 100thb for Sangsom and soda (usually a 50-60thb drink). But they have numerous TV's, footy going all the time.

Huh? You don't think Astrosport and/or Supersport won't have English commentary?

Instead of pee I think you've been stoking the fire with the wacky tobaccy.

Ok, have read a lot about this in various forums, none of it good. And just to make sure, went to the True store in Phuket city about an hour ago. The high-definition broadcast of the World Cup matches will be in Thai language ONLY. There is no broadcast of the English commentary AT ALL from True.

I had read rumors that Supersport was going to stop being broadcast in Thailand, thought no one could confirm 100%. Now, my friend says he has overheard complaints that the Supersport feeds (and maybe the whole bloody thing) from South Africa - previously, the best hope for Eng Commentary - has indeed shut down...more as I know it...

BTW, for those wanting High-Def info, I was informed by True that their HD offerings would remain at two channels (sport and HBO) for SIX MONTHS. I, and others, seem to have believed this would only be for a month. But one month is the period that those two channels are offered FREE. Of course, "six months" here could mean much, much longer...

It appears at this point that Malaysia's Astro is the way to go. Any pub owners (or friends, relatives, lovers thereof) who can chip in here and say whether you'll have the games in English? O'tooles? Green Man? Aussie Bar? Siam Hotel?
