The club
Our club, our people
A welcoming, properly-run touch rugby club in Hua Hin — weekly training, weekly games, and tournaments around Thailand.
How it started
Over a cold beer
Like most good ideas in Hua Hin, this one started over a cold beer. At Fiji Bula Sports Bar, owner Kordy kept circling a simple thought: get outside, get a bit fitter, build something that lasts. He brought it to John Williams and his wife Naoko, a post went up on the Hua Hin Expats page — and the response was bigger than anyone expected.
Saturday sessions became the heart of it: beginners and experienced heads, a run, a laugh and a reason to keep showing up. Kordy moved away in 2020; the group carried on and kept growing. Eventually the team started travelling — Chiang Mai in 2025, then Bangkok in early 2026, where the mixed squad had its best showing yet.
Everyone gets a run. That's what makes it fun. That's what makes it last.
What we are now
A club, run like a club
- Regulars
- 20–30
- LINE community
- 400+
- Committee
- 7 people
After the first free session, players chip in 100 THB toward pitch costs. Kit and merch sell to members at fair prices, and any surplus goes back into the club fund. Sponsors cover what membership doesn't — kit production, tournament fees, merch. None of it is charity; it's a club, run like one.
Committee
Who runs it
A volunteer committee across five areas keeps the club moving week to week and plans the tournament calendar:
- President
- Finance
- Membership
- Marketing
- Social
