Tak-Raw at the Vocational School
23 Oct 2008 07:26 am
Tak-raw is the national sport here in Thailand, and come the early evening there are games being played throughout the country. There are three players on each team and the aim is to get a small rattan ball over the net and if the opposing team does not return the ball then a point is won. It is similar to volleyball, except that hands and arms can not be used- not as easy as it looks! Thai men learn to play from a very early age,and recently our students from the Vocational School for the Disabled participated in a competition and they played very well, so well that several medals were won.
