Longest operating Expat Bar and Restaurant in Sakon Nakhon closes

Pictures, December 2010

Martin Pattison facebook post earlier today
Good morning everybody. To those in Sakon Nakhon I have to announce that as from today The Pitstop Café is now closed for business. Anybody interested in any of the Fridges or freezer or any of the other items in the Café, please call in. No reasonable offer will be refused. I thank all those who have been customers of the Café over the years. I will be in the café this week to clean it all out from 10.00am. They may be some difficulty in removing some items, because of the drainage work at the front of the Café. Once again many thanks.

Television on the net

Keeping up with online television providers for use in Thailand  is ongoing as they continue to come and go, here today, gone tomorrow. 
When searching for US, UK, or other countries TV, the first thing you are offered are VPN's. With VPN's you are most likely confronted with a variety of package payment plans. Make sure it's trustworthy.



After a reduced rate period of three months, monthly price is $39 for 27 channels and DVR. Just for registering you get 6 free channels, but if it's a major event you most likely will be blocked.  I use the free service to watch the evening network news

  36 UK IPTV channels €7.99 to 9.99 (US $9.69 to $12.11), monthly and annual prices, multiple screen option.  One free hour daily once you register. Experienced no buffering delays


 Available only in Thailand 600 channels 380 THB US $12.05 Monthly and yearly packages available.  Plenty sport channels. Register with your Thai telephone number. Occasional connectivity problems especially with UK channels

Available only in Thailand 150 THB monthly. Mostly Thai, some UK channels and plenty of sport channels
 Up to six months free when you subscribe to AIS internet provider. 600 baht per month with plenty pay movie channels

I'm not quite finished with this list, but have other things to do. Next time I work on this list I will repost the article with a newer date

That sinking feeling

With a 1-1 tie game in Buriram yesterday, Sakon Nakhon sinks to 12th in a league of 14. After the Sunday games are concluded, Sakon Nakhon should return to 11th place. That of course depends on number one in the league Loi United defeating Surin Sugar, momentarily in 11th place. 
The next two games are home games which will hopefully be winning games for Sakon Nakhon
 Sunday      6 MayLoi City
 Saturday 12 MaySisaket
The two May games conclude the first leg of the 2018 season which has been very disappointing with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses.
