The pitches

Grass grown by flower farmers.

This land started in 1990 as a nursery growing Curcuma flowers for export across Thailand. In 2017 the owners laid a full-size pitch for friendly games, and looked after the turf the way they had looked after the flowers.

Teams kept asking to train on it. A second full-size pitch followed, then a training pitch, and visiting clubs now come back for month-long camps.

Pitch one
Full-size grass, permanent floodlights
Pitch two

After dark

The lights stay on.

Pitch one is floodlit every night, so the hard session can wait until the heat of the day has gone. For tournaments we light the second pitch too.

Between sessions

Everything else is a short walk from the pitch.

Recovery, strength work, team meetings and down time all happen on the same private site. Nobody gets on a bus between training and lunch.

Kitchen

Your nutritionist writes the menu. We cook it.

The in-house team cooks to the plan you send: protein-heavy recovery meals, plant-based options, Thai and international dishes. Ingredients are seasonal and local, some picked from the organic garden on site.

Bringing your own chef? We help them find every local ingredient they need. The restaurant is fully licensed for food and drink, from team buffets to tournament dinners.

Top-division teams from the Korean, Vietnamese, Lao and Thai leagues have trained here. Foreign clubs now book 30-day camps through their own winter.
