Is takraw still popular in Thailand? I miss playing takraw while growing up. It's still rememberable from my first and last trip to Thailand in 1998. I woked up early one morning at my hotel right after the sun came up and looked out the window to notice some guys were getting ready to play takraw a block away. It looked like a small open courtyard area a block from the hotel. I was so tempted to join them. Looked just like a pickup takraw game like guys at the basketball court out at the local park.

I haven't had my american friends tried the sport with the genuine bamboo ball. These days the plastic ones can't compare.
