re: Where to watch an LSU game around the world

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.
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).
I lived in BKK from 05-08 and went to Bourbon Street Bar on a regular basis. Maybe 2-3 times a month. It was a 20 minute walk from my apartment. Matter of fact, I went there to eat lunch right after I watched the 07 NCG at the Embassy. I don't ever remember them showing any LSU games.

Ole Tom & Steelreign,
For the gentleman who is arguing what I said please see below. You know everything don't you???
I stay at Doug's place sometimes as I travel to Bangkok 5 times per year. When I am there during football season I keep the restaurant open with one chef, waitress, and one bar tender. We order a lot of food and drinks.
The game is usually on the ESPN feed or Fox feed (normally a big game or LSU is in prime time). If not, I hook a cable from my slingbox to his flatscreen and we watch it that way.
The red light district, they are everywhere. I am from Louisiana, my oil&gas customers go there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its a 10 years stomping ground.
BTW, Bourbon Street Rest & Oyster bar moved from Sukhumvit Soi 22 to Sukhumvit Soi 61 (Ekkamai Road)

Chicken,
I live in Abu Dhabi, UAE and second home in Bangkok.
I am the one who mentioned Bourbon Street to watch games in the first place. The (Restaurant/Bar/Boutique Hotel) has moved from Sukhumvit Road (Soi 22) Washington Square to Sukhumvit Soi 63 (Or Soi Ekamai)... Soi means road.
Doug is the owner and my friend and claims to be from new orleans which is fine by me because he has had this business for over 25 years at the old location.
The reason why people say the games are not played there is because they never asked because its either 2:30AM or 7AM in the fricking morning when the games are played Bangkok time. You have to request them to stay open with a small party and he has the cable required to catch either ESPN or CBS games which we usually play on.
When I am in Bangkok which is often, I have friends over, we keep the bar open, one cook, one bar tender, and one waitress and hae a good old time. Also, I have my slingbox set up there as well.
For United Arab Emirates, either my house or a friend with Exxon Mobil has the LSU games always if we are in Abu Dhabi at game time. I usually cook gumbo or Jambalaya, or we Bar-B-Q, fully stocked bars at both places. I could provide an email for anyone wanting to see the games when there in UAE and eat some good food, same food you would eat at a tailgate outside Tiger Stadium.
I am sometimes in the US for 1-2 games early in the season and the Bowl Game during the holidays. All others in Abu Dhabi, Thailand and one game I watch in Bali every Oct on my Slingbox while at a Golf Tournament...
