abroaddesire Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 My wife and I just arrived in Chiang Mai yesterday for our one year stay (finally!). We're HUGE American football fans and would love to find a place where we might watch the playoffs. Is there any sports bar or the like where they would have the games on this weekend?

CMKiwi Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Try the Down Under bar near the Iron bridge end of Loh Kroh road. Stu is the owner. Or the UN Irish pub. Lots of places show sport around town but these two are a good bet. Sent from my GT-I8552B using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Time might be a problem. I believe the Sunday games are being televised Monday morning, 1st game 1 am, second game 4:40 am. Ditto Saturday games. Unless these sports bars are open 24 hrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVJunkie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've seen quite a few NFL games at Paradise Sports Bar. It's a new extension to their pizza restaurant. Coming from the moat, it's before the 7/11, opposite the UN Irish Pub. The TVs are the biggest I've seen in town and they have a lot of them. Not sure about their hours. I doubt they are open 24 hours a day. There were a bunch of guys watching some EPL games there last weekend. I gave them a hard time about watching Soccer while I was trying to watch "real Football". It's worth mentioning that the seating is actually comfortable. Even the bar stools are padded like a sofa. At this age, with my back, I don't want to sit on a wood stool for 2 hours.

abroaddesire Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for all the tips. To watch the games live the bar would need to be open at four, which I doubt they would. Honestly I'd just be happy watching the game period. I'm just hoping some idiot doesn't come into the bar and declare the winners and ruin the surprise for everyone. There's nothing worse than watching a football game when you already know the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippydedodah Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 well, as mentioned countless times on various threads, it is very easy to stream LIVE content to your computer, boost over to your TV and watch in the comfort of your home. I have been getting up in the middle of the night in order to watch the games live, from my bed, with a good strong cup of coffee and enjoy this much more than sitting in a bar (I don't drink) and watching tape delays... or even watching tape delays in a friends home with TrueVision. anyways.. just my preferences... but it really is easy to watch on the internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP87 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Should be live as playoff games are 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Not sure of the time difference, but it sounds about right. One "early" game on Saturday, one "late" game Saturday and the same on Sunday until we reach the Division playoffs and the divisional championships and then the Super Bowl.

junglechef Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just so the OP doesn't worry many places in town show the Superbowl live and have a buffets, projections screens etc. for a entrance free. If your a Pats fan you can come over Sunday morning and watch with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger1999 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) People outside the USA can watch via nlf.com. There is a charge, of course. I think I paid $15 for every playoff game ($15 to watch all of them, including the Super Bowl.) Edited January 10, 2014 by roger1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdbetts Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hey, did you ever find a place? My friend and I just arrived in Chiang Mai and have been searching everywhere for a place to watch the games. Especially the Pats. Let me know if you have any advice!

Chicog Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I gave them a hard time about watching Soccer while I was trying to watch "real Football".

Perhaps over my head but guessing since Hawks are a bird and Boston is famous for Baked Beans?? Also cause the Pats always beat the point spread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to former Australian Rules Footballer Darren Bennett, who went on to play in the NFL during the 1990's. The facts are that NFL players are bigger, faster, stronger and better athletes (Which is why they are paid far more than Rugby players) and the inherent nature of the NFL has far more violent hitting and collisions.
