New Structure.

[Rooo]

Heading from Chaweng towards Lamai on the left, a large structure with what looks like a covered arena. Is that a new indoor type stadium?

[PoorSucker]

Oktoberfest.

New market, the Dao market gets flooded all the time and the vendors are feed up with that.

[steelerian]

Yes its a new football stadium. Not sure if it will be an indoor stadium, or just a stadium with a roof.

What's so funny about that Rooo? Futsal is immensely popular around SEA, every little village in Bali has at least one futsal stadium. Could do well on Samui.

Well I thought it was a play on words between football & foodstall . So I was perhaps correct in my original assumption that it could be a sport centre?

Yes, it's indeed a futsal stadium, believe it or not

Futsal is a variant of association football that is played on a smaller pitch and mainly played indoors. Its name is derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol de salón (colloquially fútbol sala), which can be translated as "hall football" or "indoor football".

I heard it's going to be futsal in the summer and ice hockey this winter.

Hi,

Does someone know what exactly they are making (kind of football small stadium) on Chaweng main road, near opposite Caltex? I used to see an ad for "www.samuiarena.com" but there is no website.

Also, they seem to construct something at begining of the lake (near Bophut police station/reggae pub) ?

Anyone has informations?

Thanks

Drove past the arena on Saturday. A football game was in progress.

Signs outside read "Indoor Football Arena. Now open."
