If you don't understand Thai, turn the volume off and just watch.  

There are moments of narration you may want to scroll past.  

Some great photography and occasionally video of 
behind the scenes Thai rural life.

Free TV streaming worth exploring

I am in the process of updating  my television online list, some links have disappeared, some links have changed.

Found this website:

Odyovi... Radio or TV Online

Plenty of programming which can be sorted by country and language
Some surprising finds, worth your time to check it out 

Democratic debate, 9 am (BKK time) Sunday, Nov 15 on CBS

I imagine after the Paris attacks they are scrambling to rewrite the questions

Paris Attacks Alter Democratic Debate

Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris will alter Saturday's Democratic debate, and maybe a race so far defined by social and economic issues.

More bearable weather after Loi Krathong in Sakon Nakhon

Most weather services indicate rain today, then a few cloudy days   Others bet that we are going to see rain thru Tuesday.   Everyone seems to agree that it continues to be unseasonably warm.  Right around Loi Krathong (Nov 24) a drop of the humidity should become noticeable. Night time temperatures are expected to be in the upper teens C, while daytime temperatures will drop to the mid twenties C as the weekend approaches

Thailand 4 Taiwan 2

According to some online reports the game was sold out.
Look at the video, see for yourself.

Thailand had possession of the ball quite a bit more than Taiwan.
At one time 70% appeared on my tv screen

Thrilling and exiting, fast paced action.
By halftime the teams were tied 1-1.  Obviously the second half was even more exciting.

What I considered a serious violation by a Taiwan player, grabbing his opponent by the neck, was either overlooked by the referee, or not considered a game violation.
