TLDR : Answer Summary
The community provides several suggestions for accessing Sky UK from Thailand. Many users recommend using IPTV services as they tend to be more reliable than VPNs, which Sky often detects. Live Net TV is frequently mentioned as a free app that includes numerous UK channels, including Sky Sports. Other options discussed include setting up a personal UK VPN to avoid detection and using an Android box for flexibility. Overall, despite the popularity of VPNs, the consensus leans towards IPTV solutions for watching UK channels in Thailand.

As has been mentioned twice in this thread, livenettv, it's free and brilliant, I've been using it for years and never had a problem with it.

I downloaded it yesterday onto my Android box but it didn’t work. Is it only for PCs and/or phones?

Oh and btw, I deleted it and downloaded and installed it a second time but got exactly the same result just in case it was a download of a corrupt file.

Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to cut and paste all of those instructions. However, as I mentioned above, I downloaded it yesterday and did all of what you just suggested. I then went into the apps folder and clicked to open it which it opened fine but all it gives you is a series of icons related to countries, Thailand not being one of them. No other links can be opened from there. Thanks for your help anyway.

I can set up a UK VPN for you, because it'll be your own one it'll very likely not have been marked as a VPN. PM me for details

I gave up trying. The ones that did work soon didn’t work so went with an IPTV service instead.
