But the biggest problem for the thousands of Socceroo fans expected in the Thai capital will be getting to and from the stadium.

As au.fourfourtwo.com found out first hand during a scouting mission in Bangkok, the stadium is miles away from downtown Bangkok requiring a complicated ferry, sky train, train, taxi trip just to get there.

The 65,000 seat Rajamangala, an ugly, old concrete ground situated in a small outer Bangkok suburb called Huamark, is not serviced by any form of public transport except for taxis.

The Socceroos will play three group games at the 65,000 seat stadium and the quarter final, should they qualify. The match against the Thais looms as a certain sellout.

The Thai FA have not been able to give any information to au.fourfourtwo.com on their fan transport plan for the Thailand versus Socceroos clash. What's more, around 75% of the stadium isn't covered. July is the rainy season in Bangkok and locals predict many of the games will be played in monsoonal conditions together with the oppressive humidity.

However, for those fans not travelling on a pre-arranged coach to the ground, au.fourfourtwo.com has been able to work out the best way to get to the ground. And in further good news, the Thais are huge fans of the English Premier League. They are likely to support the Socceroos when they're not playing against Thailand.
