The Thai-Japanese Sports Center hosts takraw tournaments four times a year. Admission is free. Call (662) 4655325 for dates and times. Another good spot to watch net takraw games is in the northeast corner of Sanam Luang, especially during the March and April kite contests. Other venues are the National Stadium, Tel: (662) 2140121, Hua Mak Stadium, Tel: (662) 3180940-4, and the Takraw Association of Thailand, Tel: (662) 2811038, (662) 2811054.

Also look out for hoop takraw (takraw lot huang): Three 45-centimetre hoops are suspended above a circle of six or seven players. Passing back and forth, they kick the ball higher and higher till they reach the velocity to score a point through the hoop. After thirty minutes, their score is totted up and a rival team steps to the court to try to surpass them. Hoop takraw matches take place regularly during the February-to-April hot season at Sanam Luang and other parks throughout Bangkok.

Good luck with your research and have a good trip to Thailand.
