Sharon,

I would think you would be able to watch the AFL G/F.ABC Asia Pacific (not sure what they call themselves now)have done it previously. I also remember watching a wallabies test in `02 in a bar in Pattaya.Most big sporting events are covered in Pattaya(and elsewhere in Thailand) due to number of foreign men there.

I don`t see why you can`t drink your duty free around the pool but some places are funny that way.Away around it that I found in Samui was after buying beer from the 7/11 just order something to eat from them.

The Aussie $ to the Thai Baht at the moment is 28.78.

Hope this helps

Jamie
