Basketball

Any expats out there, that would like to meet in the early evening to play basketball 2 or 3 times a week? Just some pick up games playing 3 on 3. To old and out of shape for anything full court. I have seen courts around the island but never anyone playing.

Not sure how many other guys want to play but I like playing threes better than full court anyways (get the ball more)

Pm me and sign me up!

I'd be up for it but with a shotty knee, I couldn't go too hard. I haven't played since I was in the US 3 years ago.

Last time I was checking for basketball the baskets were broken at one school, at the other school on phrabaramee road the time after school and dark is short and often lots of other sports activities on the same field some times.

Just saw Super Sports have baskets ranging from 5000-9000 baht.

How about Kathu, do they have any basket courts?

someone name a location, date, and time... see if we can get this started on a 2 or 3 day weekly basis... i've gained 15kilos of chang beer, BGs tell me i am having a baby, and i have no vertical jump.

we can change places weekly since most of us are from different areas on the island.
