Hi There

I live in Jomtien .. so interested in any chess club there too!

Also is there a good coffee shop spot nearby suitable for players to meet? Coz couldnt play without something to keep me awake.

Lately I have been thinking of playing golf again - after over a decade of not holding a club. Only link I saw was some guys who got up to play at 8am.. Never in my entire life have I been able to get out of the home that early. I love sleep in the morning - but stay awake all night .. so if you know of people playing golf at the end of day also let me know about that .

Thanks

I did a brief google and came up with a couple of possibilities for you to explore.

Pattaya Chess Club

And from a recent Pattaya Mail piece (Jan 30 - 5 Feb 09):

Tuesday

Chess and Scrabble Club: every Tuesday 12pm - 5pm at Hoek-Van-Holland in Jomtien. Take Thappraya Road to intersection with Beach Road. Dong Tan Police sub station is right there. Walk back towards Pattaya 10 meters along walking path. Hoek-Van-Holland is on the right, before the parking lot. Bring your own chess set and/or scrabble board. For more information please see website www.hoek-van-holland.com - Everyone welcome.

And lastly, though not a Pattaya chess club, the Bangkok Chess Club is holding a tournament in Pattaya in early April.

Yes it is the same ad appearing on Pattaya News tv in the communtity calander. It is hopelessly out of date.

Another search would have revealed what I put up many many months ago and it is still valid.

The only place that meets regularly is across from the Sea Breeze hotel on Jomtien. Go there 3pm.

There is a German master("Frank") who usually attends.

There are some other strong players playing speed occasionally in Pattaya MceeDee or Burger King

but it seems stricktly an informal friends thing... Many years ago there was a club in the food court of Royal Garden

but that too is gone...
