In Thailand there are a several sports very popular:
-
Sapak taekraw, a ball sport where the ball is juggled
with food, shoulder, breast and head over a 1,5 meter high net.
It Is a fast and exciting sport to watch (and do) and it is
played with two teams of three people. If you visit a school
you will probably see the kids play it.
-
Soccer (of course)
-
And petanque, the game where a team has to throw their
6 metal balls as close to a small wooden ball as possible. Originally
this game comes from France, but it is extremely popular in
the South of Thailand. Many primary schools have a petanque
field.
 At
Runs 'N Roses, we have a petanque
field too!
Two teams can compete on the field on the mountain. It is an easy,
fun and relaxed way of being active. It has become a social event
where Thai and farang (foreigners) play against each other at least
once a week.
Next to a petanque field you will find a volleyball field (annex
basketball field), a football field, a ping pong table, a play ground
for the little ones and a small climbing wall (for kids).
