Songkran Tournament - Hua Hin |
|||||||||
|
|
 (13
- 15 April Bamboo Grove, Hua Hin) The tournament was held for
the 11th time. There were 12 players who were drawn into four groups
of three players. Two top players from each group went to the
knock-out stage. All games were best of three 501. In the
quarter-finals. Dicky beat Osmo 2-1, Anna beat JJ 2-1, Jim beat
Joyce 2-0 and Rune beat Paul 2-0. The semi-finals were close matches
as well with Dicky beating Rune and Anna beating Jim. In the match
for 3rd place Rune beat last seasonดs top 16 champion Jim 2-0. This
match also saw the best leg of the tournament; Rune finished it with
16 darts. The final between Dicky and Anna was also very exciting.
Both players play for Johnnie Walker teams, Dickey for last years
champions Black and Anna for Red. Dicky was crowned this Songkrans
champion with a 2-0 victory. He also had the highest check of the
day: 109. - - Osmo |

  Paul
Seigel (a.k.a. Dartoid) will be visiting Bangkok June 11 - 22.
Undoubtedly the best read darts writer on-line for more than 15
years - and his book - "It's a Funny Game, Darts, Life". Paul is no
stranger to Thailand with many articles from various parts of
Thailand over the years.Paul is up for any and all darts challenges. With league play schedules taking up most of the week, Friday 15 June and Sunday 17 June are the best dates for a major darts event. Been contacting players from around the country to see which date would be best for the majority of players to attend. In addition to one major event, we'll set up as many others as possible depending on which venues are open for play - uncertain at this time with two new league seasons starting. We invite all Thailand darts players to come out and meet Dartiod and give it your best shot in some competition. A set schedule will be in the June Newsletter. If you haven't already been to his website Dartoid's World check it out. The paragraph below from his site probably best describes Dartoid! But what defines this adventure traveler, and earned him his nickname, is his absolute commitment to the sport of darts. When he isn’t engrossed in league competition or tournament play, he travels the world in search of the elusive Holy Grail – the perfect game in the perfect darts-dive. And, of course, the perfect beer. In a phrase, Dartoid does darts. And he’s done it everywhere. |

| Challenge Match In The Works: | |||||||||
|
VIETNAM VS. THAILAND |
|||||||||
| Been in contact
with the
Saigon International Darts
League about setting up a challenge match. They have a
keen interest in such an event and are willing to send 8 - 10 of
their top Vietnamese and expat players here for competition. I have
no doubt that we could field an equally qualified Thai and expat
squad to meet the challenge. Finding a squad to fly to Saigon will
be a bit more difficult. First we need to assemble enough interested players. Then look for sponsors. And finally set up tournament dates. All suggestions to help this match become a reality are certainly appreciated. If you are interested please email me. As well, many of the best players in country do not use internet regularly or at all. If you know one of these players please let them know about this. - - Johnny soi22johnny@yahoo.com |

 SEWA
Darts Forum - We have a darts forum so why
advertise another darts forum? Our form is primarily darts issues
and announcements in Thailand. Posts from anyone around the world
are certainly welcome but basically our forum is local news, Thai
news.SEWA is the most popular darts forum on-line - news and posts from darts players around the world. Interesting, informative and seeing that some problems and challenges we face promoting darts are not unique to Thailand. Future challenge matches from Vietnam and possibly Korea are a proof positive result of posting on SEWA. I enjoy participating on this forum and talking about our darts scene here in Thailand. A few more opinions from Thailand would be nice company. |

OUR FOURTH MONTH Darts Thailand - now in our fourth month and growing. A special thanks to those contributing information and photos. Osmo from Hua Hin. Magnus from Koh Chang and Bill from Phuket. Our Dart Bars list will be over 60 with some new additions added within the next few days. If you know of a dart bar anywhere in Thailand please email the information and it will be added to the Dart Bars Listing page. Chaing Mai is well known darts destination. We really need a contact in Chaing Mai. Internet searches have only provided out-dated information. Many thanks to those who took time and replied to our email queries but with the sad news that they are no longer dart bars. --- Johnny soi22johnny@yahoo.com |
