Soccer Game

Soccer is big everywhere.  And it might be the only thing that I have seen the Thai people get worked up about.  Seriously, I guess it's the same everywhere, but when you put a bunch of hotheaded guys together on a soccer field, doesn't matter if they were friends before, there are bound to be some fights and lots of yelling.  This was probably the most intense soccer game that I have seen especially since the fight that broke out probably took a good 20 minutes and a couple dozen police officers to calm it all down.  I was kinda scared for my life.  

The game was Phichit Vs. Phitsanolok so it was pretty intense with them being neighboring towns, and I bet you anything, rivals. 

Our side of the stadium was packed because it was the side with the shade haha

After the game, we went to the steakhouse in Phichit and I got some delicious steak! It was so good but way way way too small haha I felt like I needed to order three!

Us at dinner!

This is a video of part of the fight that broke out during the game.  I'm super sad I didn't get any footage of them actually fighting, but there was a whole lot of kicking, shoving and just yelling and screaming going on.  All the people behind us were throwing their shoes into the stadium and I was kind afraid we were going to die by trampling.  We didn't though :) And it was still super fun!

Super Smile!
