For sure the most popular spectator sports in Thailand are Thai Boxing and Football.
The English Premmier league matches are most popular,we one time went to visit a Monk for blessing and he was very tired as he had been watching a Liverpool game at about 3 in the morning.
Thai people who like football seem to support the big English tems like Man Utd,Chelsea,Liverpool and Arsenal.
Only last week in conversation with a Taxi driver who asked me where I was from when I replied Norwich he said "oh Norwich City". It was nice to hear as we have not been in top league football for a long time.
I also noticed that on TV ther used to be a short "Golf Tip" and that now seems to have been replaced by "Football Tip".
