You could try here: http://www.finnegansthailand.com/sports.htm

Website is a bit out of date but you could always email or ring them to find out. Failing that, you could try online.

well paula. i had the same problem in 2005 looking for the cork/galway all ireland final in bangkok. no place in bangkok showed it then. the only place we found out was in tropical murphys on koh samui. so a train and a boat later there we landed. great pub. food excellent and of course all big gaa matches live. home away from home. thats 5 yrs ago. don't know if things have changed since.

I would say in Bangkok this is probably your best bet. They show alot of PL soccer games anyway so do show sports but dare i say it, if it clashes with a premier league game i wouldnt be surprised if they showed that instead as its a very international crowd in general on that road so they to get the punters in i wouldnt be surprised. Having said that, if they showed the game they would have every Irishman and woman in there so hopefully sense prevails on their part

I was in Bangkok a month ago looking to see the Kildare v. Derry game. I tried all the 'irish' and english pubs in Silom and I rang all of the real irish pubs in Sukhumvit and none of them were showing the match. They said the reason was that Setanta (the aussie version, but which still shows GAA) was no longer carried on whatever tv package was available. I tried every irish pub in Bangkok except for the one on Ko San road. Your best bet is to ask a pub if they'll be able to stream it over the internet, or hop on a train to singapore!

Air Asia would get you to Singapore in a few hours. Or head down to Samui. Our Bar and Tropical Murphy's will show the matches by streaming them onto their tvs. I caught the GAA mostly in Our Bar last year. Although i caught one of them in Bangkok by going into an internet cafe on Koh San Road. One that you throw coins into. Got some bottles and loads of us watched the game online. Not sure how many streams are knocking around this year though. I exhausted everywhere in Bangkok in regards to pubs. Nowhere shows GAA.

I know it's juvenile, I know it's simplistic but that gave me a good laugh!

I second Tropical Murphy's in Koh Samui.I spent a lot of time there last year, great pub.Watched the Italy v Ireland game there in the small hours of the morning.They actually closed up but had the game on a big screen outside the pub! They even supplied us with big buckets of ice to keep our beers cool even though they were closed!

Also, I watched the Cork v Kerry final in Singapore last year also, was streamed from the interweb and tbh was woeful quality.
