According to a story in today’s Bangkok Post, Football Association of Thailand head Worawi Makudi says Brazil will travel here to play the Thai national team on Oct. 7:

Worawi Makudi, president of the Football Association of Thailand, said his Brazilian counterpart Ricardo Teixeira had promised to send the country’s top players to the Kingdom for the October 7 match.

Worawi, who is a Fifa executive member, discussed the matter with Teixeira in Zurich where they are attending Fifa’s annual meeting.

“Teixeira promised that he will send Brazil’s strongest team to Thailand for the friendly,” said Worawi.

“This is good news for Thai fans. It will also be a good opportunity for Thai players to play against world-class players.

Also, the Brazilian Football Confederation will send its national futsal (five-a-side) to compete in a special event in Thailand in June, Worawi said.

(Emphasis mine.)

You’ll recall that Thailand was due to host England in June. But that game is off. Backstory is here and here.
