Fantastic to see.

Along with the Herculean efforts by those who’ve spent endless hours at the Gymkhana Ground, Mother Nature has also played its part.

Futera United: A Thai Football Club Owned by Supporters

Rob Bernard @robb65.bsky.social · 28d

The very best of luck to everyone at newly promoted Futera United today as they make their Thai League 3 debut at Bangkok University Stadium v Royal Thai Air Force.

A club who do things differently, as can be seen in this video.

Kanchanaburi is famous for its bridge and war connections but there’s much more to the province than that as my video shows.

Mon Bridge Adventure – Sunken Temple, Three Pagodas & Hidden Thai Gems

Rob Bernard @robb65.bsky.social · Aug 18

A dangerously packed PAT Stadium also put on a free rock gig after the game. The stage blocking the main gates out from the car park. The club have taken on Chang as sponsors meaning no other beer options which is massively unpopular not least through its connection to Buriram.

Sunday football…

Port 3 Ayutthaya United 1
Thai League 1
Ticket: 120 Baht (£2.73)
Crowd: 6,250

Port 3-0 up after half an hour against a team I suspect will finish bottom despite them scoring the goal of the game near the end.

Rob Bernard @robb65.bsky.social · Aug 17

We managed to sit under the roof in N Zone & the train so easy after the game only to get absolutely soaked between where I got off and where I was meeting wife & friends.
