  • Résumé


  • In 2023-24 Simon and I started this podcast to cover Chiang Mai FC's season in T2 under new local ownership. As seasons go the year was undiluted soap opera. Coaches were fired, staff not paid, players not paid, suppliers not paid. At the end of the year, with the club in massive debt and the owner in hiding, the club was relegated to T3 for failing to meet licensing requirements.


    The club's very existence was in doubt. A deal orchestrated by the Sports Authority of Thailand tried to bring together Brazilian investors with an amateur team and sports academy - Christ FC - based in Mae Rim in the North of Chiang Mai. This partnership would adopt the name of Chiang Mai FC. Half way through the T3 season the Brazilian investors and sponsors have been removed.


    In the meantime our podcast has evolved to a broader coverage of Thai Leagues 2 and 3. Phil Williams has joined us and is a very welcome co-presenter. One of the lessons from last year was not to take our Thai football too seriously - a great way to avoid disappointment.


    Thank you for listening. If you have any comments or suggestions please let us know.


    All the best,


    Phil, Simon and Rob

  • Chulapaburi....the big man has a week to remember

    Chulapaburi....the big man has a week to remember
    Apr 10 2025

    There is a rumour that Muang Chanthaburi will be renamed Chulapaburi.....


    T2 title, promotion and playoffs still wide open with two games to go....one relegation place also remains.


    Phrae win a 5 goal thriller at Kanchanaburi.


    Chanthaburi delay the Chonburi celebrations.


    Phrae and Chanthaburi are also the last T2 survivors in the Chang FA Cup


    Confirmation after we recorded this that the League will allow Lamphun to return to their Provincial stadium after storm damage at the new Warriors stadium.
