paul1970 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 For me it would have to be Gullivers at the Naklua end of Beach Road. A large amount of LCD TV's plus the huge quality projection screen in the dining area (unlike the shit quality projectors found in many bars), commentary you can hear and good value prices on their drinks in a nice comfortable environment and good quality reasonably priced food.

gotlost Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Only UBC in HD has the license to show the WC 2010 in Thailand in English and Supersports is going off the air. It may be slim pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that True Visions (UBC) with a standard box will also give English or Thai commentary, selectable with the language option. Not sure if HD will only have commentary in English or commentary and half time analysis, if I'm going to pay extra for the HD I would like to have proper English analysis.

KASABIAN Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Good question Paul I'm looking for somewhere with a good atmosphere for the England USA game, but as its pretty quiet here right now it looks like its going to be a half empty bars here and there watching it...you think anywhere on Walking Street might have it on?

Jing-jo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Drum and Monkey in Naklua ( about 600/800 metres up pattaya naklua from the dolphin lohma roundabout It's a nice newly refurbished bar which has three TV with seperate channels so different supporters able to watch different games in seperate bar sections but if you sit at the very front can see all three at the same time very confusing if you try to watch all 3 also the bar sells many types of cider with Non pestering ,but attentive all the same, bar girls a very big plus in my book!! no affiliation to the bar but it also has a friendly owner/manager who looks and dresses like Austin Powers villain Mini-me combined with the above were a welcome change for the 3 months I was there Dec 2009 to March 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched all of the last WC at Gullivers and some of the matches had a great atmosphere with the place completely packed out, which is a lot of people considering how big the joint is. I would have thought England V USA will get the place full and should be a good atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul1970 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 They have parking for motorbikes and a few places for cars on the road outside, theres also a parking attendant that does his best to try and find a parking spot if the place is busy.

Utterlyuseful Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) several weeks back, the Thai outfit that owns the local broadcast rights stated that they would be charging entertainment venues and bars showing matches on a per match basis...will be interesting to see how this plays out!

moddeydhoo Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Shagwells in Soi Arunotai have just put in 2 x 52" HD TV's and upgraded their UBC specially for the world cup. Beers cheap and plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvaddict Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 What time does Gullivers close? A lot of the games kick off at 01.30 (including the England v USA game). Will Gullivers still be open at this time and stay open to see a whole game finishing at 3.15! Hope so but just checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about this year but during the last world cup in Germany (same time zone as South Africa) Gullivers stayed open until the end of the games. So hopefully it will be the same this time.

I can't wait for this match, hopefully it's another classic like 1950 match in Brasil when the USA a team of amatuer american/italians beat the English 1 nil lol, only saying cause I'm aussie and like nothing better than watching the English fail lol, oh and I'll be watching it with an american mate lol, anyway where is this Gullivers place? end of beach road? meaning where the screen is???? so kick off should be at 130am for this one???
