Two football club billboards from Buriram
Above: The billboard reads: Together support Buriram PEA – Buriram FC [by] Buriram Highway Office
This is an interesting phenomenon: professionally organized and presented modern football clubs complete with international style logos and calls to locals for support. Ominously, these groups are owned by political figures–here Newin and his wife who are prominently displayed on the billboards. In the future, expect this sort of football club to supply its supporters to enforce local political will and reinforce the power positions of provincial kingpins.

Kingpins indeed
With Buriram, I would like to rendered my service to them in the near future. I love this team and my dream is to play Buriram FC one day.
I am thanking all the players, the coach and his staffs as well as the board and particularly the President Newin.
It has now been a while that I became one of the outstanding fan of Buriram FC in the AFC Champions League.
