As a Scarborough fan your trips take me back. Great days & stopovers marred slightly by the team. But when there’s a win and great pubs it makes it all doubly worthwhile!

The usual passionate crowd at the ageing Sri Lamduan Stadium, with many no doubt keeping a close eye on the match between Police Tero and Rasisalai United, as Sisaket continue to push for automatic promotion.

Yet despite this, Trat equalised an early goal from Steeven Langil before Kittipong restored order. Oodles of chances went begging around Fellipe Veloso, adding the third. If the Brazilian could finish as well as he tries to get opponents into trouble, he’d be playing at a far higher level.

A cracking few hours of entertainment, including my wife and I meeting friends for food and drink in a quality establishment before heading on to watch Sisaket complete a simple enough victory against bang average visitors.

To say the ref has lost it in this Lamphun v Kanchanaburi game is a huge understatement. Adds to the drama mind.

I loved my whistle stop tour of the cities 8 years ago but I never thought I’d end up living in the countryside. Never say never. The place and the people are special.

A really good candid chat with Andrew of Kanchanaburi. A stark warning to any teams who might be going up to T1. There is a huge gulf and it’s easy to waste money on poor signings.

The longer I live here, the more I love it.

A truly life changing move.

Woodford Town are one of many reformed football clubs I’ve had the pleasure of visiting, albeit while they were in exile. Read all about their past, my visit and a look at some images via the link on my blog.

I really enjoyed listening to Prin of Padriew City. Thai football needs many more of the same pragmatic ilk involved.

You can’t see it but it’s Leo Thai beer in the Supreme cup keeping it cool.

Gone 8pm and 28 degrees here.

Next in my places that I’ve seen football is a delve into the Singapore League and the final game of Woodlands Wellington before they merged with Hougang United.

It was most enjoyable!

Stuck for ideas in Bangkok for a few hours and perhaps want to show friends round who are in town? My latest video might offer some ideas.

Total respect to the 11 Nakhonsi fans on a herculean trip to cheer on their team on a midweek night. One on a tannoy and another banging a drum, their support was outstanding.

1,354km (841 miles) each way

It was he who headed home the opener, followed by a near-post finish from Gilberto Macena from a corner & then a penalty from Alberto Gouvea in stoppage time. We headed away even happier after an already good day of golf, food, beer & meeting new friends, as my whisky hip flask got a working over.

The game changed when midfielder Nattapon Yongsakool was introduced ten minutes into the second half. Still missing his injured twin, he transformed the attacking intent of the hosts, boosted further twelve minutes later when forward Wichit Kongsinkaew came on.

Late drama, as table-topping Rasisalai, without a win in three games, were drawing 0-0 in the 86th minute, scored three times, while second-placed Police Tero were getting pumped 4-1 away to Chiangmai United.

T2 is extremely competitive. Looking forward to Rasi v Nakhonsi tonight with a close eye on Chiangmai United v Tero, hoping for a home win.

I noticed quite a few farangs when I went. Lapsed Udon fans?

An enjoyable game and excellent result with my Sisaket/Rasi hat on.

A lovely scenic venue too.

That’s what I call ingenuity from my wife.

The mosquito net we’ve bought for guests staying on father’s veranda is being utilised so the mango syrup is protected while it hardens before being made into sweets.

Not sure. Either hacked or had a big bust up? The sort of thing I shan’t miss.

Ideally I want a social media platform with true info rather than guesswork and opinions.

I don’t know. I replied to a message from a friend asking me to vote for him to co-host a podcast. They found out my email, changed it on Twitter and then sent the same message to lots of my contacts. I couldn’t sign in. Sorted it & deleted my account yesterday.

Some great pubs there. I recommend Tapping The Admiral between Camden and Kentish Town if you’ve not been. Fits in ideally in the same theme as the Pineapple and Southampton.

Yes I was hacked. Plus it suits my beliefs to be well away from anything to do with its owner and the company he keeps.
