Chiangmai FC

Nice weekend out and about. Went to Chiangmai FC vs. Nakhon Pathom and Chiangmai won 1-0. Weird environment. No concession stands, no hawkers, no shops selling Chiangmai FC stuff. Very strict entry procedures regarding vaccines, and it was on a Sunday at 7pm, so there were maybe only like 300 people in the stands. Fun to go just to say I went, but might wait to go again until things open back up. I usually only go to local games for the environment — I’m certainly not there for the quality of football.

Not sure if you can tell, but in the lower right picture, the teams stood and faced a digital picture of the King while (I think) the Thai national anthem played. No one in the crowd sang, and some people didn’t stand up. Odd that there was no Thai flag, or maybe it wasn’t the national anthem and instead, some ode to the King. Forever a mystery.
