It's been quite an entertaining week trying to figure out whether or not we will be able to watch the Football World Cup on Thai television. The lively debate has prompted a number of own goals, yellow cards and even a few porky pies.
It does seem a little odd that football-mad Thailand appears to be the only country in Southeast Asia not to have bought the World Cup broadcasting rights. Unfortunately it all comes down to forking out buckets of money which of course is the tricky bit.
It is not an unprecedented situation in Thailand however. In the past there have been similar scenarios in which an " influential person" has stepped in at the last minute to save the day. Mind you, they are leaving it a bit late this year as we are already deep into added time.
