Free football on a Friday night? Yes, please. On November 20, Thailand’s women’s national team, two-time Women’s World Cup qualifiers, take on GB Women Police in an international friendly at PAT Stadium. Kick-off is 5.30pm, and you can simply turn up without a ticket or registration.
The British Embassy Bangkok organises the fixture to celebrate the friendship between Thailand and the UK. It also forms part of a longer visit, with the visiting officers holding professional exchanges with the Royal Thai Police and taking part in youth development activities that aim to create more opportunities for women and girls, on and off the pitch.
Port FC’s home ground has no running track around the pitch, which puts the stands right by the touchline. Seating is first come, first served, so arrive early for a spot near the halfway line. Vendors sell food and drinks, and the whole family is welcome.
Parking isn’t available, so hop on the MRT to Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre or Khlong Toei. Both stations are roughly a 10-minute walk away, and trains are packed during the evening rush hour, too. Our guide to getting around Bangkok has the fares.

Thailand v GB Women Police is at PAT Stadium, Khlong Toei, on Friday November 20 at 5.30pm. Entry is free and no ticket is required.
