Muang Thong United hosts Port FC in a battle at the Thunderdome Stadium in Muang Thong Thani. Muang Thong sits in 6th place, 1 point behind Port currently in 5th, in Thailands top league. This is a very important game for both teams for final season standings. The winner has a chance to finish in the top 3 for next year tournament invitations while the other will be on the outside looking in.
As always the Port fans came out in force to support their team. Facing a team that has the bad blood and animosity from close games over the years makes this a game that can’t be missed.
This is also the first time in 9 years that Port fans have been allowed back into the Thunderdome Stadium after some issues between groups of super fans. Port allowed them to come last year and also the game in the first leg of this season.
The expectations for both teams is a win and we were rewarded with a great game with chances on both ends.

The Wat Saket Fair (known as Ngan Wat Phu Khao Thong or งานวัดภูเขาทอง), held at Wat Saket Ratchawora Maha Wihan (the Temple of the Golden Mount), is Bangkok’s most iconic temple fair. This 100+ year-old tradition honors the sacred Buddha relic enshrined in the 58-meter golden chedi atop the man-made “Golden Mountain.”
Typically a riot of street food, games, and cultural shows, the 2025 edition (October 29 – November 7) has been somberly adjusted to pay tribute to the recent passing of Somdet Phra Nang Chao Sirikit, the Princess Mother (announced October 24, 2025).
Entertainment and some vendor zones are canceled, shifting focus to spiritual reverence, merit-making, and quiet reflection—still a profound cultural anchor amid Loy Krathong’s glow (November 6).
The fair spans 10 days and 10 nights and is an important annual event in the heart of the city.
