Playing rugby in Hua Hin

Post by wotchit »

Hi, new to Hua Hin and wondering if there is anywhere to get a rugby game? Either sevens or 15's is good, though suspect only last 15 mins in the heat :D

If there isnt a regular club do any of the oz/kiwi/bok backpackers organise anything?

I've never come across any rugby matches in Hua-Hin, or Thailand for that matter, but then again, you can't really expect, people to organize such an event if they clearly know they don't stand a chance in hell of winning. :thumb: :laugh:


As far as I know, I'm the only "bok" in town, so apart from me, you'll have a hard time finding anyone capable of playing the game, apart from the odd Welshman. :duck: :thumb: :laugh:

I'm certainly not a bok, but I've been known to kick some Welsh ass in the past. :duck:

If you can organise anything, please count me in.

I'd be up for a run around too. I've been to the Bangkok 7's a couple of times and it was not bad. 2 or 3 years back the 7's legend Waisale serevi was part of a Thai airways sponsored team.

When I am in Hua Hin I would be up for a game, also I believe there is a 10's tournament in Phuket.

Bangkok Sevens take place next week. Details on their web page. There is also a 10 a side tournament in Bangkok usually in February. Both events are well supported and teams are from all over Thailand as well as Australia, NZ and South Africa to name a few.

If you do manage to get a game going or need a player for anything, feel free to contact me.
I'd be very much interested in playing once again

Hmmm...well looks like there is interest in HH if any games get sorted. If I can get anything sorted I'll put out the word on the forum. Hope to get along to the 7's meself if I can get the time away from work. Maybe catch some of you guys there.
