anyone like to toss disc (frisbee) on the beach?

So what is going on around here and where does it happen? This section is for discussion on local events, festivals, and holidays as well as activities and things to do.

Well, a number of years ago, a Dutch friend and I were getting to almost "professional" status, working on our skills nearly every day in front of The Sofitel. We became so good, that we were thinking about charging the wonder struck tourists and locals to watch us practice. Unfortunately, I had to go back to the UK temporarily, so our rise to stardom was interrupted. On my return, the decent frisbee we had had been reclaimed by my ex's son and we just never got back into it again.
Joking aside, we did go regularly to the beach and have a laugh. I wouldn't mind doing it again, but bear in mind that I'm about 7 years older and numerous pounds heavier!!
I'm not sure where to get a decent frisbee. We got a pretty crappy one at the line of stalls that run down to the main beach entrance at Sofitel.
Keep me informed. I might make a comeback :cheers:

I've never seen a decent frisbee in Hua Hin. There's some good ones around Krabi but the best ones need to be brought out from Europe/UK.

Once I can teach my dog to throw, she'll be a contender for you. Catching, no problem, (even in the water), but throwing, big problem.

hi lomuamart,

great . . it's like riding a bike, is the dutch guy still around? i'll let you know when i manage to locate a good disk . . if you see a powder blue one wash ashore (or any locals with it), claim it back :)

i do have a glow in the dark frisbee, but it's not that great - makes for good times at night though.

HHTel, are you showing interest . . or just for your dog?

The Dutch "professional" is probably still practicing on a beach down south somewhere.
Any old frisbee will do me. I'm a bit out of practice.
Randy, get back to your Sang Som in the jungle. I'm Mr Motivator now :shock:

As I said before, I have seen them in the stalls that run down the side of The Sofitel at the main beach entrance - just after the Tourist Police office. They weren't very good - light - which would make them difficult to use if windy.
Other than that, I can only suggest maybe the old shopping mall. Up on the first/second floors.I don't know what frisbee is in Thai (maybe frisbee?).
Other than that, I'm stumped. Never go to Market Village, so I don't know what's on offer there.

:roll: so, life in hua hin should be about . . . hanging out at tesco? or actually, why don't you tell us so we can return the "favor" and judge you . . but then again people who toss frisbee on the beach don't do such ridiculous things
