To watch your favorite TV Program in Thailand, you have several options, depending where you stay:

• Antenna: Can receive only the Thai channels. If you always thought that American TV was a lot of trash, Thai TV will show you new limits!
• Cable TV is available in most tourist places. It's usually cheap (about 350 to 450,- Baht (month) but you have to check the channel list first. At some places, like Krabi for instance, they put only the free TV Channels on the cable which you could also receive with you own dish.
• UBC Satellite Pay TV delivers an acceptable TV program with up to 75 channels in the "Platinium package" or 45 channels in the Bronze package!" UBC is quiet expensive compared to the Dream Satellite in the Philippines. The monthly fee ranges between 500,- Baht (bronze) and 2155,- Baht (platinium) When you sign up for UBC, watch out for their Promos, sometimes you get real good offers. Please check out their website for more information on prices & channels available.
• Your own Satellite Dish! Available as static or moveable between about 7000,- and 18,000,- Baht. For the satellite available in Asia you need at least a 1.8 or 2 meter dish. No chance to receive anything with a small .6 or even 1 meter dish. There are several satellites in the area, the one with the most channels is probably Asia SAT. You may want to check out their website for the free channels and decide if there is anything of interest for you. If you go to a satellite shop in town, they will also have the channel list for you of every satellite available with either a moving or static dish.
• Dream Satellite TV (Philippines) In Thailand you can also receive the Philippine satellite "Agilla2", which hosts the Pay TV channels of Dream, Philippines. Satellite TV in the Philippines is much cheaper than Thailand, you get the Gold Package already for 750,- Peso (about 550,- Baht) You may want to consider to go once a year to the Philippines to buy a one year package and enjoy good channels. (You save about 19,000,- Baht per year on this)
