agsnowdon Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi Mainly for you England fans. I live in Mae taeng and rarely go out in CM but will be looking to watch the first 3 England matches in a bar or a good place to watch the games. So ... England vs Paraguay - 10 June, 8pm Thai Local Time - where will you be watching this game? England vs Trinidad & Tobago - 15 June, 11pm Thai Local Time - where will you be watching this game? England vs Sweden - 21 June, 2am Thai Local Time - Will there be anywhere open to watch this game? if so where will you be watching this game? Its my birthday this day so it should be a douboe celebration! I have thought about the Queen Vic but am open to any ideas. Cheers Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanchao Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 > Where will you be watching England play in July??? Who knows.. I'm assuming England won't be playing anywhere near Germany come July.. Nah seriously, as a lot of the games will be late at night, chances are that the later games I will watch at places like Cosy Corner or whatever that bar is called now. For the earlier games, Queen Vickie and Mad Dog are also options, as is just about any other bar or restaurant. This World Cup thingie will be a lot harder to avoid than to catch. As for the Cloggies, I heard the Hollanda Montri guesthouse is planning something.. (The place on the river North of Nakorn Ping Bridge just before Mae La Pla Phao restautant. As they're a guesthouse, AND seriously away from the road and all I don't expect problems staying open very late there. Italians? Some of the restos I guess? Segio's place in Moon Muang Soi 2 is no more, that was pretty fun 4 years ago.. Germans... who knows. Anyone? Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Chanchao Sergio's new place is on the Mai Jo road, left hand side before you get to the Rimping junction. The seating is a bit limited but he has a big screen.

ThaiPauly Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Mostly in the UK ! But I know that the CM Saloon has probably got the biggest TV in town, trouble is you can't get many people in there at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likite Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think Chiang Mai saloon or maybe UN Irish bar. One think is for sure the world cup is not at place to watch England at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 > But I know that the CM Saloon has probably got the biggest > TV in town, trouble is you can't get many people in there at > the same time At the Ratwithee Road branch you can. But isn't the place American run? Can't watch footie at an American place, it's just not done. (Well, other than American Football and the Super Bowl, obviously.) (Even though of course the USA is very much in the world cup and may actually cause somewhat of a surprise even bigger than the last time around when they were *VERRRY* narrowly (and somewhat undeservedly) beaten by Germany in the second or third round. Anyway, no offense of course but most Americans I've met are FAR too reasonable and level headed when it comes to sports. Like suppose team USA gets beaten fair and square. Then they actually say "Well, we got beaten fair and square." "the better team won, we'll have to try harder next time." I mean what fun is that. Compare this to Sergio who nearly turned himself inside out when the Koreans beat Italy, I actually thought he was going to have a stroke; now that was a moment! Sport is in a sad state in the USA.. they can't even bring themselves to riot and burn cars and fight with the police on a weekly basis. Sports stadiums are so good spirited family friendly places you'd think they were all run by Disney. When are they going to get with the program?

jackr Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yeah, CM Saloon would be ok. The fairly recent [...] Sports Bar down Loi Kroh has a big screen and TVs all round as does the Vic (same owner). It'll be hot then and the Vic also has the advantage of air-con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 > Where will you be watching England play in July??? Mad Dog are also options, Not if Nick knows there's tennis, golf or motor racing on another channel. Plus you'll need to ask him to turn on the volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Dunno from what I see after major championships in yankland - winning team fans for the most part riot/burn cars. I always thought that the losing team fans would do this, but appears to be the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sport is in a sad state in the USA.. they can't even bring themselves to riot and burn cars and fight with the police on a weekly basis. Not every weekend but when we do it we do it very well. One example of many below. "COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police fired tear gas and wooden pellets to break up rioting by college football fans who set fire to cars, threw bottles and burned furniture in the streets early Sunday in celebration of Ohio State University's victory over rival Michigan."

p1p Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sorry Lads - Please let's get this back on topic before it turns into another political Bearpit or Bedlam type argument, replies get heated and I have to start handing out holidays to transgressors. The subject is where to watch Brazil thrash all-comers and lift the cup. Which bar or other establishment would be best? Thanks P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 John's is alright when they don't serve gone-off beer and then charge you for it. I think I'll have a good look round town first, but perhaps the Vic if it's gonna be a warm one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like ya big TVs then They've got a fairly decent-sized, although not huge, plasma screen in the centre back of the bar over everybody's heads and perhaps two or three 21"ish TVs dotted around the bar area. In their other place down Loi Kroh, they've got a big screen and even more TVs. Atmosphere okish in the Loi Kroh place, but better in the Vic if it was really busy. if not so busy, perhaps the CM Saloon would be better for atmosphere.
