Hanuman2547 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The Pattaya Sports Club used to have a group of people that bowled on a weekly basis. I believe that it was a bowling league. You can check their website to see if the group is still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finspin Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 There is a nice air conditioned 12 lane bowling alley at the jomtien palm beach resort off beach road. unfortunately there are no leagues. I was joining a mixed group of expats with their Thai wives and girlfriends, who met each Wednesday afternoons for a bit of fun bowling. 120B per game, 40B for shoe hire. I’m looking forward to bringing my bowling balls with me when I return from the Uk in August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read it was British settlers that brought lawn bowls to Australia in the 19th century. This story from 2019 says at that time there were more than 2,000 lawn bowls clubs in Australia, and according to Bowls Australia, 693,563 people registered players, did Covid kill them all or have they all closed or just have canopies now. https://enviroclass.com.au/blogs/bowling-beyond-boundaries-how-canopies-are-transforming-australias-lawn-bowling-scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat green IIRC, as opposed to crown green. Certainly would not be popular right now in the 38 degC sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
