5-a-side Football / Futsal -sathorn/silom, Wanna Play?

[damaja]

Hi I plan to stay In Thailand for the UK winter. Unless I teach English I guess Ill be unemployed? With a lot of free time Id be keen to meet decent people and play some football/soccer.

Will it be hard to me as a guy alone in Thailand to find regular games? Im a decent player but not played seriously for years but Im still pretty fit. Im just looking for casual/fun games and some decent people to hook up with. Cause goodness knows what Id do alone in Thailand for 3-4 months? It just a plan I had.

Cheers

Sure, come down when you are here - details above (thx Keong)

Level of play? Err, that depends on your standards doesn't it? We don't turn anyone away, but generally I'd say the games are quite good with a fair few players at good amateur level - it's not pro level though, obviously.

You should just come and see for yourself.

we play 6-a-side (pitch is bigger than average 5-a-side pitch) and either have rolling subs when we have 13-16, or several teams of 6 and rotate via 2 goal win or 7 mins.

Once again though, you should come and have a look. If you don't fancy it there's always other teams there you can join in with if you prefer.

you say 'other teams you can join in with''

You mean there are many expats playing there regularly and getting a game shouldnt be a problem?

Also were exactly are these pitches? They are on sukumivt? They are 6-a-side pitches so longer than 5-a-side with bigger goals (over 6ft?)?

[lpk]

we are at after the main shopping areas of sukhumvit and ekamai

u should take a taxi and tell the driver to send u to 'sukhumvit 71, phra khanong soi 21'......near the end of the soi, there will be a sign saying 'arsenal soccer school', turn left into it.

we are easy to spot, making up of caucasians and asians

see u there this sunday 11 sep, 4.30pm to 6.30pm

Sorrry, this has been dormant for a while as the other modes of keeping it updated & comms etc. became more popular etc...

We do still play weekly though, at 5pm every Sunday, on 6-a-side astroturf pitches at Arsenal Soccer School on Prakhanong 21.

Open door policy - all welcome.

Message me through our Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bangkok-Footy-Giants-SoccerFutbol/180087055370049?sk=info )with your email and I'll add you to our 'Evite' mailout list which is now the main way we keep it updated.
