'Just Give Me The Damn Sepak Takraw Ball'
I was going through The Onion channel on youtube and thought this one would be appreciated here. What if American sports coverage (or any American news coverage for that matter) included a more international perspective?

wow, that's really great.
I'd actually like to see a real match some time. I have seen kids playing in the school yard a few times but just the highlights in this clip are awfully impressive.

You can watch Takraw played (at quite a high level) at the Takraw courts in Benjasiri Park in Bangkok. The Takraw Boys are always there, but it's busiest in the late afternoon/early evening. The is where you can see them land on their heads on the concrete if they get it wrong.
But the Boys are as agile as cats and inevitably land on at least a hand. Great to watch, but don't join in!
Benjasiri Park is right next to the Emporium Mall on Sukhumvit Rd. . . . Sky Train station Prom Pong.
Cheers ...
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
