To watch your favorite TV Program in Thailand, you have several options,
depending where you stay:
- Antenna: Can receive only the Thai
channels. If you always thought that American TV was a lot of trash,
Thai TV will show you new limits!
- Cable TV is available in most tourist
places. It's usually cheap (about 350 to 450,- Baht (month) but you
have to check the channel list first. At some places, like Krabi for
instance, they put only the free TV Channels on the cable which you
could also receive with you own dish.
- UBC Satellite Pay TV delivers an acceptable
TV program with up to 75 channels in the "Platinum package"
or 45 channels in the Bronze package!" UBC is quiet expensive
compared to the Dream Satellite in the Philippines. The monthly fee
ranges between 500,- Baht (bronze) and 2155,- Baht (platinum) When
you sign up for UBC, watch out for their Promos, sometimes you get
real good offers. Please check out their
web site for more information on prices & channels available.
- Your own Satellite Dish! Available
as static or moveable between about 7000,- and 18,000,- Baht. For
the satellite available in Asia you need at least a 1.8 or 2 meter
dish. No chance to receive anything with a small .6 or even 1 meter
dish. There are several satellites in the area, the one with the most
channels is probably Asia
SAT. You may want to check out their
web site for the free channels and decide if there is anything
of interest for you. If you go to a satellite shop in town, they will
also have the channel list for you of every satellite available with
either a moving or static dish.
- Dream Satellite TV (Philippines) In
Thailand you can also receive the Philippine satellite "Agilla2",
which hosts the Pay TV channels
of Dream, Philippines. Satellite TV in the Philippines is much
cheaper than Thailand, you get the Gold Package already for
750,- Peso (about 550,- Baht) You may want to consider to go once
a year to the Philippines to buy a one year package and enjoy good
channels. (You save about 19,000,- Baht per year on this)
