Pre-Match warm up anyone.

Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok..six hours before kick-off

Looks like we're having marching bands tonight, and then Tata Young will sing "I believe" to me in my special seat.

There are great huge forecourts outside the stadium. Large grass and concrete areas. A contrast between the hustle and overcrowded pavements of Bangkok with its teeny weeny shops all selling the same but different things.

So far the only other space I've seen in Bangkok is in the lobby of the AFC's hotel. Simply enormous.

I spied some small goals under the stadium, I guess they'll be out later.

This place has a good feel. A football feel.
