The Rainy Season Is Almost Upon Us,

also I noticed there is a game going on in Europe,


but here is a Thailand village version of it, the only time kids could play football was at low tide, so kids being kids they banded together and made their own floating football pitch on the island of Koh Panyee,

football was always popular to watch in the village, but it was not until the work of the children of the original Panyee fc that anyone had ever played the sport there,


so now the sport can be played at any time of the tide, even better news they developed through practise on this small, rough field, the start of history, the team began to enter competitions on the mainland, and their success turned the Panyee FC into what is today one of southern Thailand's best football clubs, having won the 'youth champions of southern thailand' competition for the last seven years, better still Thai Bank TMB decided to make a short film to accompany their tag line 'Make The Difference', the full version is on the designboom link in the first paragraph, here is the run down of how to get there, it is near Phuket as a rough guide, way to go the kids of Panyee!
