UPDATE MAY 18 2017: Due to the current legal situation regarding internet TV streaming in Thailand, I am sorry but i must refrain from promoting, or referencing sources of any potentially illegal TV streaming source.
My apolagies to you if you were also directed here from another page referencing Internet TV streaming.
A guide to all the best Pattaya satellite and cable T.V. options. The most popular satellite and cable T.V. options in Pattaya at the moment are Sophon cable, Truevisions and CTH T.V. But these days we’re not limited to just a handful of TV viewing options.
So what are our T.V. viewing options in Pattaya: Included in the list below are options including free T.V., satellite and cable T.V. Some can be purchased right here in Pattaya, others can be ordered on-line.
Pattaya Sattelite & Cable TV
True Visions Pattaya
Connection Type: Cable, Satellite, Apps available for mobile devices.
Price: Packages from 299 – 2,200 baht per month.
Truevisions are the largest cable and satellite TV provider in Thailand. They are more user-friendly than most of their competitors, the viewing guide and menus are far superior those offered by any other Thai satellite and cable provider.
For installation and inquiries visit or call the Truevisions office on Central Road, opposite Big C Extra, Telephone: 038 426 777.
True visions Problem Solver: If you lose your picture or receive a message asking you to contact True Vision you may be able to resolve the problem yourself. Firstly unplug the power cable from the set top box, wait 2 – 3 minutes before re-connecting and the set top box will re-boot. Second solution is to remove the smart card from the set top box and wait 2-3 minutes before re-inserting. If none of these solutions resolve the problem call your local True Visions office, there will also be a phone number on your True Visions Bill, it may be a Bangkok number but they are also quite helpful.

Youtube
If you have a good Internet connection you can spend a lifetime browsing movies, clips and shows on Youtube, and it only costs the price of your Internet connection. And while you’re there take a look at my 1 million hit Youtube blockbuster.
Pattaya satellite dish installation: I really suggest you shop around, I managed to find one decent independent site with a half readable website, maybe you can use it to get a rough idea what you should be paying for satellite tv installation.
