    Polo in Thailand

    Thailand has a compact but active polo scene driven substantially by an expatriate community and international visitors. The Bangkok Polo Club and the Thai Polo & Equestrian Club (located near the capital) are the main venues. The season concentrates in the cooler and drier months from November through February, when conditions are most suitable. The Thai Polo Association governs the domestic game. Thailand's polo venues have hosted international invitational tournaments and benefit from the country's well-developed luxury hospitality infrastructure.

    Siam Polo Club

    ,

    Siam Polo Club in Bangkok is Thailand's premier polo venue and the home of polo under the patronage of the Thai royal family. Set on the outskirts of Bangkok, the club maintains multiple well-irrigated grass polo fields capable of hosting high-goal competition throughout Thailand's cooler dry season from November to March. The club has historically enjoyed the patronage of Thai royalty and aristocracy, giving polo in Thailand a distinguished social standing that connects the sport with the nation's equestrian heritage. Regular tournaments attract regional teams from across Southeast Asia, and the King Power International Ladies Tournament — one of Asia's most prestigious women's polo events — has brought global attention to Thai polo. The clubhouse and facilities reflect the elegant hospitality tradition of Thai culture, making Siam Polo Club a destination as much for its atmosphere as its sport. The club is an essential stop on any tour of Asian polo.

    Siam Polo Park

    ,

    Siam Polo Park is Bangkok's premier polo facility and the anchor of Thailand's rapidly growing polo circuit, positioned strategically near Suvarnabhumi Airport to serve an elite clientele of Thai business leaders, expatriates, and international polo travellers. The club has been at the forefront of Thailand's polo expansion under King Power's broader equestrian patronage, offering international-standard facilities that attract visiting professionals and patron teams from across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The Bangkok polo circuit runs primarily between October and April, taking advantage of Thailand's dry season, and Siam Polo Park's grounds are maintained to accommodate the condensed but intense competitive season. International exhibitions at the club have brought some of the world's best professionals to Bangkok, raising the quality of Thai polo and the aspirations of domestic players. The club's proximity to Bangkok's luxury hotel corridor and its connections to the Thai corporate world make it one of the most commercially dynamic polo operations in Southeast Asia.
