It is very hot and humid! It's important that you come at a good fitness level because we play so many games in the three weeks of the tour.  Also, remember to drink lots of fluids.

Not yet!  Unfortunately we do not have a Sattha team for girls.  We hope to have one sometime in the future as the popularity of soccer continues to grow among the girls in Thailand
