In 2023-24 Simon Wise and Rob Scott started this podcast to cover Chiang Mai FC's season in T2 under new local ownership. The season 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, despite finishing fourth, 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 were removed. Christ FC took over the management and operations of CMFC. Ichiban arrived as a welcome new sponsor.


In the meantime our podcast evolved to a broader coverage of Thai Leagues 2 and 3. Phil Williams joined the podcast in the 2024-2025 season. Following T2 is great fun. It is the most competitive, unpredictable, diverse, occasionally brilliant and often bizarre, league in Thai football stretching from Nongbua Lamphu in the North East to Chiang Mai in the North, to Trat in the East and down to Pattani in the South.


Simon decided to leave the podcast midway through the 2025-2026 season.


One of the lessons from last few years is not to take our Thai football too seriously - it is a great way to avoid disappointment. But it is also a great way to see and experience Thailand.


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


All the best,


Phil and Rob

    The headlines from last weekend:


    A two-horse early pace-setter — Police Tero and Khon Kaen United are both perfect (6/6, 4–0 aggregates, zero conceded). Tero's organisation vs Khon Kaen's ruthlessness.

    Uttaradit are the surprise package — a first-ever T2 season, and they're unbeaten (4 pts, two clean sheets) after holding Muangthong and beating Kasetsart. .

    Muang Loei's statement win — a 3–0 win over Chainat lifts them into mid-table and shows the promoted trio (Uttaradit, Satun, Muang Loei) all have legitimate fight.

    The away-day league continues — confirmed decisive results again mostly went to visitors; home advantage looks thin in this division.

    PT Satun have character — conceding first then scoring three on the road, twice now, behind a 5,000-strong backing.

    Kasetsart are the early crisis club — the only side with zero points and no goals after two rounds. That's a storyline to watch.

    What was wrong with Pattaya - for Police Tero Christmas came early.


    Phil previews the midweek games in Thai League 2.
