The Thailand Polo Association (TPA) celebrates its remarkable success through an exhibition narrating the association's two-decade journey on its 20th anniversary. This event is dedicated to perpetuating the vision of Mr. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the association's founder, who aspired to elevate Thailand's polo to international standards. Accompanying this commemoration, Mr. Kanoksakdi Bhinsaeng, the President of the Thailand Polo Association, and accomplished Thai national polo athletes, including Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, Apichet Srivaddhanaprabha, Ploy Bhinsaeng, and Chonnarlite Thomongkhon, participate in insightful discussions on stage at the Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel on Soi Rangnam. Mr. Kanoksakdi Bhinsaeng, the President of the Thailand Polo Association, discloses that over the past 20 years, the association has been promoting Thai polo on the global stage and has hosted prominent international tournaments and major polo events, significantly contributing to the heightened recognition of Thai polo on a broader scale. Presently, there are many Thais and expats with an interest in polo. Athletes under the association follow structured training schedules with coaches providing guidance. This encompasses the planning of tournaments, both domestic and international. In the past, the association has sent athletes, including Mr. Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Mr. Apichet Srivaddhanaprabha, to participate in tournaments in the UK, renowned as one of the world’s leading polo hubs. Additionally, the association also intends to organise a youth camp for young individuals keen on polo. The association's current objective is to ardently advocate for the inclusion of polo in the 33rd SEA Games in 2025, with Thailand as the host country. The association is thoroughly prepared in all aspects, encompassing tournament venues, horses, personnel, and international-standard facilities. Presently, the association is in the process of seeking approval from the National Olympic Committee of Thailand, with the expectation of receiving the result shortly. The ultimate aspiration is to secure a gold medal for Thailand. Historically, the Thai polo team secured silver and bronze medals in 2017 and 2007, respectively. Mr. Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, a Thai national polo athlete, states that over the past 20 years, the association has continuously enhanced the popularity of polo. On behalf of the Thai national polo team, it is my pride to have contributed to its success and to continue supporting this sport to increase its recognition in Thailand and on the global stage through participation in various tournaments. In preparation for the 2024 tournament organised by the Thailand Polo Association, a total of four tournaments are scheduled. The first event is the All Asia Cup, taking place from 4th – 10th February. This year, teams from five countries, including Brunei, China, the Philippines, Mongolia, and Thailand, will participate, with Thailand set to compete in this tournament as well. Anticipation is high for such competitive tournament, as all teams are believed to have undergone intensive training. Ploy Bhinsaeng, a Thai national polo athlete, conveys that her initiation into the world of polo commenced with an introduction by Mr. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Upon trying the sport, she swiftly developed an enduring affinity for it. Polo demands a fusion of skills, encompassing strategic planning and teamwork.

After a successful charity dinner in 2022, the ‘Rare & Share’ project, initiated by Roche Thailand, joined forces with the Foundation to Eradicate Neuromuscular Disease (FEND) in order to support and improve the quality of life for rare disease patients in Thailand, of which the proceeds will be donated to help patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). What makes it unique this year is the collaboration with two renowned leading chefs, Chef Christian Martina of CLARA, who was recently named the 23rd best Italian restaurant in the world by 50 TOP ITALY 2022, and Chef Amerigo Sesti of J'AIME, who received a Michelin star, to help create a special set course full of interpretations into dishes with full flavours as well as raise awareness about the rare disease. The story of this well-curated course is definitely something to talk about; the idea behind each of the tantalizing creations is touching, as the 6-courses dinner is a rendition of real-life challenges experienced by SMA patients and their caretakers. One of the courses requires more than 24 hours of cooking time, symbolizing the 24 hours of care required for SMA patients, and the exaggerated cutlery was used as a secret gimmick to depict the difficulty of caring for the patient on a daily basis. The charity meals are available throughout February – May 2023, on the following dates: ● Tuesday, February 28, 2023 (18.00–20.00 hrs.) at J'AIME Restaurant. ● Sunday, March 26, 2023 (18.00–20.00 hrs.) at CLARA restaurant ● Tuesday, April 25, 2023 (18.00–20.00) at J'AIME restaurant. ● Sunday, May 28, 2023 (18.00–20.00 hrs.) at CLARA restaurant For reservations and more information, J'AIME Restaurant (email: reserve@jaime-bangkok.com) or call +66 2 1194899 CLARA Restaurant (email: clara@clarabangkok.com) or call +66 2 3496 3663.
