Bangkok Thailand:

Bourbon Street Restaurant & Oyster Bar.

I am friends with Doug who is the owner. When I am there I either stay at his place as there are apartments over the restaurant (My second home). I can watch it on his cable or on my computer and Slingbox. I bring it everywhere.

If anyone is in Abu Dhabi, all of the bars are closed. However, I have a Housegate party during every game, where I cook Jambalaya, Gumbo, or a shrimp & lump crabmeat stew in the roux. My local cable may have it on either Fox Sports or ESPN. If not...Again, my Slingbox is ready to go and I plug my computer into my Samsung.

I have my Slingbox feeding a Direct TV receiver which I put in a business in Wisconsin to where I will never get a Blackout for the Southeast Region. The only bad thing is I cannot see my local news...Who Cares & Go Tigers

I checked out Bourbon Street on my last trip to BKK. Doug Harrison is not from Louisiana as evidenced by the fact that he can't pronounce New Orleans properly and calls pecan pie "PEE CAN pie". He is a nice guy (I'm guessing from Georgia) but the game is never on his cable as you say unless by some fluke chance ESPN Asia is carrying it which is very rare. Just admit that you stream the game over the internet and prefer his rooms because of proximity the red light district.

Your best bet for watching Saints or LSU games is finding a reputable hotel with good broadband(preferably LAN connection).
