The Thai Polo & Equestrian Club, the new venue for the 2012 Asian Championships.

The Thailand Tigers have just advised that there will be a change of venue for the 2012 Asian Championships originally slated for the Patana School, Bangkok.

Club President, Yoda, has written that:

“The playing surface at Patana School will be under repair in August and there are no guarantees that it will be finished in time for the Champs, scheduled for 11th August.  In the best interests of the tournament, we have decided to move the event to the Thai Polo & Equestrian Club in Pattaya, about 25 minutes out of Pattaya town.”

Pattaya is a 90 minute drive from Bangkok International Airport.

In other news, the match between the Vietnam Swans and Cambodian Eagles, originally booked for 30 June, has been changed to 21 July following a request from the Cambodian Eagles.
