Euro 2012 will only be on Terrestrial TV in Thailand for free and only in the Thai language.
As said GMM has sole rights for the broadcast of these games and have blocked access by satellite UN LESS you have subscribed to their service.. For further info you can follow a discussion on ..http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/557676-6000bhat-for-license-to-show-euro-games/ and

Pattaya Police issue Euro 2012 warnings to Bars & Restaurants
 
25th May 2012
 






Euro 2012 is fast approaching and soccer fans from around Thailand and here in Pattaya can watch the games but you must either purchase a new set-top box or an old-fashioned TV Antenna. GMM-Grammy have won the rights to broadcast all Euro 2012 games and for bars and other businesses who wish to broadcast the games a meeting was organized for them at Pattaya Police Station on Thursday afternoon to discuss how they can legally broadcast the games. For domestic viewers, a simple TV Antenna will suffice as games can be seen only on the Analogue versions of Channel 3, 5 and 9. For Cable and True Visions Satellite customers, the games will not be broadcast. Another option is to purchase a GMM Z Box for 1,590 Baht, which can be used with a standard satellite dish as it uses KU-Band and C Band Signals, similar to True Visions. The reason for the meeting was to announce to bar owners that the only option for them is to purchase the GMM Z Box and pay an additional licence fee of around 2,000 Baht. For those venues who attempt to broadcast the analogue TV channels instead, they will be prosecuted.

I fell that if language is that big of deal then turn the sound off and listen to it on the web. Personally I'll be sleeping at those hours.

FYI.The 7-11 next to Tesco EX in Prasat is selling the GMM-Z Box for 1595 baht. So check Surin City and Buriram, 7-11, Tesco and Big C. They have a web site www.gmm.tv which is in Thai only but i thank you will get the idea. I ran across another thread with some interesting info.

Why is everybody talking about in what language the football is,, who cares what language it is, you are in Thailand so its probably in Thai, when im in Holland its probably in Dutch and if you are in England its probably in english.

I just wanna know if there is a nice place in Buriram where all you guys watch to football together and have a good time drink some beer
an enjoy.
