Hua Hin Football and Cricket
Soccer
Over the years a number of local expats have tried to form football teams or get together to play on Sundays. For some reason or other they usually end up disbanding as members can no longer find the time or are hungover! Another problem Hua Hin faces is the lack of a decent football pitch. There are many places to play if you can competently dodge the holes, tree stumps, mud patches and then avoid the incoming tackle!
The latest
is being held every Sunday from 5pm until dusk at the Selasian School on Petchkasem Road, and is being organised by Will Atkinson, a teacher at a local school.
Football fans on the other hand have an endless choice of bars to watch their favourite team play. There are also a number of local fantasy leagues that follow the FA Premiership.
Cricket
Cricket is growing in popularity in Hua Hin, this year hosted the 11th annual cricket sixes where local teams get together and play alongside hoteliers and enthusiasts from other provinces. We are currently researching as to whether any regular local cricket practise is taking place.
