The ChiangMai is Blue podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Robert Scott
In 2023-24 Simon Wise and Rob Scott started this podcast to cover Chiang Mai FC's season in T2 under new local ownership. The season was undiluted soap opera. Coaches were fired, staff not paid, players not paid, suppliers not paid. At the end of the year, with the club in massive debt and the owner in hiding, the club, despite finishing fourth, was relegated to T3 for failing to meet licensing requirements. The club's very existence was in doubt. A deal orchestrated by the Sports Authority of Thailand tried to bring together Brazilian investors with an amateur team and sports academy - Christ FC - based in Mae Rim in the North of Chiang Mai. This partnership would adopt the name of Chiang Mai FC. Half way through the T3 season the Brazilian investors and sponsors were removed. Christ FC took over the management and operations of CMFC. Ichiban arrived as a welcome new sponsor. In the meantime our podcast evolved to a broader coverage of Thai Leagues 2 and 3. Phil Williams joined the podcast in the 2024-2025 season. Following T2 is great fun. It is the most competitive, unpredictable, diverse, occasionally brilliant and often bizarre, league in Thai football stretching from Nongbua Lamphu in the North East to Chiang Mai in the North, to Trat in the East and down to Pattani in the South. Simon decided to leave the podcast midway through the 2025-2026 season. One of the lessons from last few years is not to take our Thai football too seriously - it is a great way to avoid disappointment. But it is also a great way to see and experience Thailand.

The Broken Sword goes to the tip of T2
Uttaradit F.C. Take Over Top Spot: A dramatic 3–2 away win at Mahasarakham pushed Uttaradit into pole position in the early promotion race.All three newly promoted sides are in the top 6: PT Satun, Uttaradit and Loei are all handling the step-up with immense resilience, proving competitive against traditional heavyweights like Khon Kaen United.

Khon Kaen United go top
New leaders. Khon Kaen United go top on 9 points despite a goal difference of exactly zero — 7 scored, 7 conceded in four games. Entertaining, leaky, and suddenly the team to catch.Three teams still unbeaten — Uttaradit (8 pts, 2nd), Kanchanaburi (6 pts), and Nakhon Pathom (4 pts, four draws from four). Nobody's lost yet in that trio, but only Uttaradit are turning draws into wins.Satun's first defeat — with an asterisk. The promoted side's perfect start ended at Nongbua, and the manner of it will sting: Satun came from 0–2 down to 3–3, then lost to an 87th-minute Luân Costa goal that fans rightly argued was offside. No VAR in Thai League 2.The promoted trio are for real. After four rounds: Satun 6 pts, Loei 7 pts (and level on points with the sides directly below the top two), Uttaradit 8 pts in 2nd. All three are in the top half.Goals are flying in. 27 in nine matches, with two separate 4–3s in eight days involving Nongbua and Uttaradit. Defences, as Santi Chaiphuek admits, are behind the strikers so far.Firsts everywhere at the bottom. Phrae's first win (3–0 away), Kasetsart's first point, and Chainat's second win — the early-season separates are starting to form, though the FIFA Day break now pauses the league.Best comeback: PT Satun — 0–2 down at Nongbua, back to 3–3, only to be denied by the 87th-minute controversy. A comeback in a losing cause, but the bravest away performance of the round.Best performance: Uttaradit — 4–3 in another seven-goal classic, still unbeaten, up to second. (Honourable mention: Phrae's 3–0 at Pattaya.)Best story: The Luân Costa 87th-minute "offside" winner at Nongbua — no flag, no VAR, and a fanbase in revolt. It decided the game of the weekend Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
