We are planning on going to watch Real Madrid take on Thailand on the 29th. We have booked a hotel but it seems we can not get a ticket until we actually arrive in Bangkok. This seems a little strange to me. Surely it would be better if folk could book over the telephone or internet and then pick the tickets up latter. There is a chance I may get to Bangkok and find the match full.

Is anyone else going to this match and if so where are you getting your tickets?

Thanks,

Hi yes I am going mainly because the missus wants to see David Becham and co. I booked mine about a week ago on thaiticketmaster.com pretty good you can choose your seats, but it was pretty full in the decent seat section when i booked to hurry. Then you have to pick up your tickets about a hour before the show but it explains all on the website.

Good luck

I am not going, as it will be crap.

I have seen Man United, Beckham and co playing Thailand, or maybe it was BEC Tero. Beckham was only on for a few minutes and the game was terrible. They don't want to injure anyone.

Also saw Barcelona, a team much better than Real Madrid :o , and they got a pathetic 0-0 draw with Thailand. Rivaldo wasn't even there!

At the man U game, there were touts selling tickets for less than cost price. NO NEED to buy at ticket at these things. Heaps of touts.

I sold a heap of 600 baht tickets for 2000 baht! well before the game. The people I sold them to were not happy when the got the ground at Hua Mark and saw 2000 baht tickets going for 1000 baht.

Arsenal were crap too, as they were all out in Pat Pong the night before.

I and my friends are flying from Manila, Philippines to watch. We booked match tickets from Thaiticketmaster. This is probably the best chance we have to watch a football match, as we're not really a footballing nation. We hope it won't be "crap," but hey, if it turns out to be worse than the Tokyo Verdy match, we intend to have a good time just the same.

Well i think you better save up for the World Cup In Germany rather than the Rea lVs Thailand....There all the player will play as if their life depends on it

Thanks for your concern Shivek. But we're not really picky at the moment. I could use the break from work too. As for the World Cup, yeah, Tytus, that was our plan too. But I imagine airfares, hotels and match tickets would be priced sky high. So we're aiming low for now. One match, one club/team at a time...

all those friendly games are 100% crap..... there is nothing the European players hate more than doing such a promotional tour in Asia's heat and humidity..... no wonder they fill themselves up in Patpong if they only get a chance to :o I wonder how my countries Bayern Munich will perform in their Asian matches in the next few days..... they will be pissed-off same way, most probably.... on the other hand, Asia is the hugest market for soccer in the world in the very near future..... so all those Madrid's, ManU's, Arsenal's management is doing well to show up in the region..... my German clubs are too stupid to realize about their chances in Asia....

I went to the match last night, bought a couple of reasonable tickets off a tout for a grand a peice, took me 30 minutes to get in the stadium, there were no open doors, and in the end we didn't need the tickets as people just muscled their way in, a bit scary really, hundreds of people pushing and shoving. Inside we finally found our seats, watched the game and decided to leave 10 minutes bofore the final whistle to avoid the crowds. All exits we founds were barracaded and blocked, I asked a copper how to get out, and he pointed to a rope we had to climb through. This game was a disaster waiting to happen, but hey, I'm a stupid Farang, what do I know.

Another thing that got me going was I was 10 feet away from Taksin when he showed up in his motorcade. I walked past his Merc and noticed it is the S600 with the 6.0L engine V12, bit excesive I thought, especially when he's spouting on about saving fuel etc!!!!

Watched the match on TV and Real Madrid played fine in the first half but in the second half they shud have conceded altleast 2 goals they gave so many chances to Thai (there is a contract that very team who comes to Thailand must concede a goal from Thai) but their finishing was too bad and they missed every chance. Real played good in the first half but Ronaldo and Zidane are slow, Real need fast players and they'll be topclass. Zidane did a few tricks in the beginning then lost control of the ball (he's old). Beckham didnt even play well, Raul, Ronaldo played fine. Real got a few chances in second half from Guti but he missed all other than that they were giving all chances to Thai team who cud score only an egg. Overall the match was fine. :o

After being at the game last night I thought it was quite good, although like was said in a earlier post after the first half all the real stars Becham, Ronaldao, Zidane ect went off. What did concern me was the amount of people packed inside that stadium. There were people packed everywhere on the steps you couldn't move by the end, a accident waiting to happen. I also left 10 mins before the end, which wasn't benificial as there were still thousands outside at this point.

Just wondering being a gooner fan, when did they tour Thailand?

(obviously can't be that big a fan!)

Why the ###### did they start the match so early?? At 6pm on a Friday Ramkamhaeng Rd is a disaster zone. It was impossible for many people to arrive at the stadium on time. At half time when i arrived you still had to queue for ever to get into the ground. An 8pm kick off would have been sensible don't you think?

The times I went to the stadium, I went by Klong Saen Saeb boat from Pratunam - the only way to get there these days.

      Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert

      Okay, well I won't bury my head in the sand. Today I will visit my local tax office and register for a TIN. Now, as I'm not that great on a computer I would appreciate a little technical help, please, Kasikorn has sent me three forms to fill out in a PDF format. Is there a way of filling out these forms without printing them off and filling the forms out manually?

      Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?

      Where I live (for tax purposes - I'm rather nomadic occasionally) I was able to WORK and draw a pension for a year and a half. Legally. Goddam EU marxist communism. It's $hi7, stay in the US or the UK. You'd hate it here. And don't get me started on how much holiday I got or the health issues that I didn't pay a penny for in the socialist hell of Germany. Late in life and retired after a lifetime of good universal healthcare the docs are giving me a clean bill of health and I'm just wondering what to do with the last third or so, roughly, of my available adult years. I can't rock climb or tackle obstacles the way I once could. My shoulder is threatening me with some violence in a not too distant future. I have to be careful with my back and couldn't punch my way out of a wet paper bag these days. However I still do hefty gym work and cardio, swim, am active, travel and enjoy life, have lots of fun. But the body is definitely dying and the aches and pains I wake up with sometimes were never there as a young man. The wrinkles set to come are already hinting at the maps they'll draw on my face and the loose skin that will develop on my arms is beginning to pucker. There's no escaping that. I find those thoughts comforting rather than trying to deny it though. Dying is, in the end, just another issue to deal with in life. I'm more worried about the how than the fact itself and I am quite prepared to put an end to me myself if things get really bad. I do hope though that I can get the remainder of the things done I want to do before I get that far. I've made it a priority not to die regretting things I haven't done. But who knows?

      Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?

      Someone thinks too much. Fantasy vs Reality ... who comes up with this stuff. Take the word 'Thai' out. It's a woman, hopefully, if that your preference. No different than any other woman of the world. Same everywhere, emphasis on 'potentially' ... as all people aren't ... ... beautiful (sounds a bit shallow) ... caring, good luck with that ... devoted, divorce rates not different ... values family and home life ??? More important, do you want to be married and or .... why ? You're marrying the woman, not the family. Why would you support anyone else ? Is this something you do in home country ? Cultural compatibly and the rest is just made up BS. You're 2 people, you get along or you don't. The rest is just BS excuses people use when things fail. Like all relationships, either works or doesn't, no need for excuses. What makes you happy, what makes her happy, and if not like minded, it will fail. Culture, language, other people have nothing to do with it. The fantasy of marriage is a failed institution, and why so many fail. 2 people finding out everything there is to know about each other and still liking each other .... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE My advice ... if never wanting to be divorced, never get married. That piece of paper is a fantasy, and for many, a curse.

      Tour Boat Capsizes in Cheow Lan Dam in Storm: Search for Missing French Tourist

      Boats in Thailand - ferries, long tail, large, small, whatever type that carries passengers/customers are in the same league as motorbike taxis. If you board one, you are putting your life at the mercy of the boat operator and the tour operator. If that is the only mode of transport to a location, I won't be visiting it. In more developed countries, the first thing that would happen to the person in charge of the boat and all crew members - a urine test for alcohol and drugs...and not the BS roadside quickie test but the kind that go to a lab for testing.

      Young Male Elephant Found Dead in Natural Canal in Chachoengsao

      For the second time in less than two weeks, the death of a young wild elephant has been reported in Chachoengsao Province. A 4-5-year-old male elephant was found dead, floating bloated in a natural canal overgrown with thick aquatic vegetation near the forest edge behind Nong Krating Village in Sanam Chai Khet District. Mr. Supatwee Kulsaree, President of the Tha Kradan Subdistrict Administrative Organisation (SAO), coordinated with Captain Wasan Panthum, Commander of the 1306th Ranger Company, to inspect the site after receiving a report from local villagers. The area where the elephant was found is currently part of an effort to push back a herd of over 80 wild elephants that have been foraging in local farmland. At the scene, the forest elephant monitoring team of Tha Kradan SAO, led by Mr. Supatwee, worked alongside the village head of Moo 20 and integrated efforts with soldiers from the 1360th Ranger Company and the 1st Infantry Division, 111th Infantry Regiment. A drone equipped with a camera was deployed to monitor the large elephant herd and ensure safety. The deceased young elephant was discovered floating in a natural canal densely covered with aquatic plants near the forest edge behind Nong Krating Village in Moo 20, Tha Kradan Subdistrict. The discovery prompted local authorities to bring in heavy machinery, including a backhoe, under the direction of Village Chief Saroj Laisuwan, to manage the situation. Meanwhile, a veterinary team from the Wildlife Rescue Center Region 2 (Krabok Khu), located in Klong Takrao Subdistrict, Tha Takiap District, was dispatched to examine the elephant’s body. Initial investigations suggest the young elephant may have wandered away from its herd, become disoriented, and fallen into the thickly vegetated canal, where it drowned. The strong odor of decomposition led villagers to the site. Veterinary staff also retrieved the tusks from the elephant for further analysis. Given the bloated condition of the carcass and the natural cause of death, the remains were buried near the discovery site. Mr. Supatwee Kulsaree and Captain Wasan Panthum have announced plans to strengthen efforts to drive the herd of over 80 elephants back into the forest, aiming to protect villagers currently harvesting their rice crops.
