Stunning facility hosts world class polo and exciting equestrian events every month
| OPENED in 2003, Thai Polo & Equestrian Club Pattaya has made Thailand an international centre for polo, dressage, show jumping, endurance tests, and more exciting equestrian events. With wooded hills as a backdrop, the club’s beautifully landscaped setting covers 800 acres and includes a full range of world-class equestrian facilities. |  |
In addition to three full-sized polo fields and two practice fields, the club has a cross country course, endurance course, indoor and door arenas for show jumping, stabling for 250 horses, numerous paddocks, a horse hospital (which will soon take care of all horses on the Eastern Seaboard) and the renowned Rege Ludwig International Polo School, which attracts polo players from all over the world who want to improve their skills.
Co-owned by Mr Harald Link, CEO of B. Grimm Group, and Mrs Nunthinee Tanner, the Club is also a great place to relax, thanks to its picturesque clubhouse, salt-water swimming pool, and excellent Chukka Bar, a re-creation of the famous polo bar at the Langham Hotel in London, complete with original polo photographs, trophies and sporting memorabilia.
Players from all over the world regularly visit the Club to play in its prestigious tournaments, such as the Princess’s Cup Thai Polo Open every January and Queen’s Cup Pink Polo for ladies. In addition to its monthly tournaments, the Club is part of a unique polo league of Thai, Malaysian and Singaporean clubs, with each club taking turns to host a round-robin.
Featured here are just a few of the exciting events that have taken place recently at the Club.
