Darts is an indoor sport played across Thailand; a great way for Thai people and foreigners to socialise together; both ladies and men.
It’s a truly inclusive sport welcoming players of all abilities and experience. Costs are low and equipment is available to share, borrow or purchase. Beginning a passion for darts often begins relatively late in life with many darters in Thailand having no history of prior involvement. Darts is a traditional pub game, commonly played in the United Kingdom, across the Commonwealth, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Republic of Ireland, the Scandinavian countries, the United States, and elsewhere. Darts were historically used in warfare in ancient history; skirmishers used darts of varying sizes, similar to mini-javelins. It was the practice of this skill that developed into a game of skill. The Hua Hin/Cha-Am Darts League play competition darts every Tuesday night at 7.30PM. Apart from competition there are many opportunities to practice at less serious and very social evenings; it’s a great way to get to know the locals. The Darts League started in 2002 with six teams. It grew into a league of two divisions with 8-10 teams in each division. Usually there are two seasons in a year and besides the league they also include cup and individual top 16 competitions. There are also opportunities to travel to Bangkok and beyond to try your skills on the wider stage. Teams come are based in downtown Hua Hin, Khao Takiab area and Cha-Am.
