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: all ages, beginners and experienced heads, a run and a swim in the sea afterwards. 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 can play — including children and ladies. 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
Members chip in 100 THB a week toward pitch costs. Kit and merch sell to members at fair prices, and profits go 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
