Limbo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) . . . . . The new Chiangrai Hills Stadium a great venue for all kinds of events Among the guests at the opening of the Chatiphan Cup Tournament we noticed some prominent Brasilian football celebrities. Among them Eddie Pereira, former striker of St.Gallen Switserland, now Chiangrai United, Silvio Cesar, assistent-coach of Chiangrai United, Leonos dos Santos, coach of the succesfull Thai national team U16 that under his guidance qualified itself recently for participation in next years Asian championship, here together with our local khun Budsawongkod Ooyuenyong, ardent supporter of CRUTD, who many of us will recognize as their barber (opposite Thai Airways office). . . . . . . . . . The winning team was Immanuel Fc, an Akha team from Mae Suai district of which most members work and/or study in Chiang Rai town. Out of thirty teams they did best. . . . . . . . . . . . . . One of the amazing aspects of the Chiangrai Hills Stadium is its gigantic, 5 by 8 meter, screen that even by full daylight showns an incredible clear and sharp picture. This screen will without doubt contribute greatly to the multi functionality of the stadium. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The tournament was well attended by the many supporters of the teams and other football enthousiasts. The small restaurants, bars and shops did well. Though the Chatiphan Cup maybe should be seen as a pilot project, many people voiced their hope and expectation that it might evolve into a yearly event. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Channel 3 actors and singers actually had a good team. It was of course not really comparable to a Thai Premier League game but it was fun to look at. And yes, if you would ask yourself when a Hoegaarden tasts best, there is only one answer possible: "Always!"

Limbo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Thinking about 11 November, the eleventh of the eleventh, fools day, many among us will spontaneously get associations with the day that the election takes place of new carnival princes that will be prince the year after. Personally I always think about my uncle, Prince Harry I, who was elected the eleventh November of 1947 to be the first prince carnival ever of the town Eindhoven in the Netherlands, at that time the craddle for a fast growing Philips lightbulb imperium. Of him I inherited my love of the spiritual and the spirits. So I proudly present the only person in my family that reached a modest level of nobility: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In Maechan however, the first eleventh of the eleventh in its short existence gave another picture. It was the day of the finals of the Rotary Cup and at the same time the centrepoint for the outdoor and public part of the celebration of thirty years Rotary in Maechan. It was the first time that the multi-purpose stadium was used for an event like this and the organizers of it processed all elements in it that could refer to their perception of being a concerned pillar of the traditional establishment of this part of the Kingdom of Thailand. A lot of flags, uniforms, parades and related songs illustrated their nobel patriotism and thus their willingness to unselfishly serve King and Country. We congratulate the Rotary Club of Maechan and wish them many fruitfull years with good work ahead. A lot of work has to be done and a group of concerned civilians can play an important role in this.

changraider Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 By chance I'm now sitting in the village adjoining the stadium, it's a shame it's a bit too far from my place for regular footie visits - are the matches played here now? Are there farang members of the Rotary club or is it Thai only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I've had a chance to read the thread in full, wow, what can I say, a modern day fairy-tale of pragmatic philanthropy, and the stadium does look great :-) In the 80s in Eindhoven I think I saw a descendant of that gentleman in the photo, though by that time the dresscode had morphed into the black post-punk bondage look topped off with a real-life mohican coxcomb.

The next cup (Christmas Cup) starts on December 3rd and will end on Dec 25th with a special day for the local kids (cartoon movie on the big LED screen and other activities).

During the coming weekend (24 and 25 Dec) the second round of the New Years Cup will take place at the stadium, from approximately 9.30 morning untill 4 afternoon). If you happen to be in Mae Chan, you might be willing to make a pit-stop there for a meal or a refreshing drink. It's a nice atmosphere and a beautiful location. All the sportshops, foodstalls, coffee shops and supporter bars are run by hill-tribe people and all proceeds go to them. The seven-a-side tournament, in which twelve teams participate, is for young players, not older than eightteen. The teams come from schools and villages of which some high in the mountains. Your visit will be appreciated! Welcome! Limbo The first weekend of the Chiangrai Hills Stadium New Years Cup: To get an impression please have a look at this video of last week: Reason for editing: Forgot to mention the location! Coming from Chiang Rai, passing Mae Chan on the superhighway, start moving to the right lane at Tesco Lotus. Two hundred meters further namely, at the traffic-light, you will have to turn right. From the 'super' to the stadium is about two kilometers. You can't miss it. Coming from the north: Turn left opposite the post office of Mae Chan in front of the TOT building with the big satelite disc.

Limbo Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... ...............................................................................................[attachmen Of course it has to be seen as a tryout, but the first time an away game of Chiangrai United was shown live on the big LED screen (5x8 meter) already more than hundred football fans showed up, even more than usually go to the fan clubhouse at Den Ha. It was an initiative of the Orange Power fanclub of Chiangrai United and it was supported by the (hilltribe) manager group of the Chiangrai Hills Stadium. It was a fundraising event and also as such you could call it succesfull: About 12.000 Baht found their way into the coffers of the supporters, to be used for instance to bring down the costs of two bus trips to away games to a level that would be affordable for the average local fan. Most of the 100 Baht tickets (to be exchanged for two cans of Leo) were bought in Chiang Rai town. At least thirty fans, including the Chiang Rai Mini's, couragously defying the cold on their monkey bikes, travelled from Chiang Rai to Mae Chan for the event. .................................................................................... For the local Mae Chan section of the Orange legion, where 'Acharn Damm' is in charge, it was a nice opportunity to host their fellow supporters from Chiang Rai. The atmosphere on the stand during the game was as enthousiastic as it was afterwards in the supporters bar of the stadium. For pictures of events at the Chiangrai Hills Stadium in Mae Chan, including the Rotary Cup and its anniversary celebrations, the Chiangrai United Club Party with the football game with the television soap stars, other actors and musicians, and those taken last night, please see: http://www.chiangrai...vents_intro.htm Limbo The screen last night, Leandro in action in the seventh minute in the game against TOT: .................................................

The winners of the Chiangrai Hills Stadium 2012 New Year Cup were the players of the team of the Suksa Song Kroh boarding school in Mae Chan. They could take home a beautiful cup and a first prize of not less than 10.000 Baht. Yes, they are happy and they deserve to be! Most of the students of Suksa Song Kroh come from villages high upp in the mountains and live therefore at school. Football is a big thing for them and this prize is not only a great reward for their efforts, but I am sure it will also encourage them for the future. SSK susu! The party afterwards was spectacular, but that's another chapter Limbo PS: The Suksa Song Kroh boarding school offers education to children of nine different ethnic minorities. About twenty percent of the more than thousand students are local Thai children. The school population includes orphans, hiv-positive and disabled children, abused children, children from extremely poor homes and children at risc concerning drugs and prostitution. The Chao Phya Abhai Raja Foundation has facilitated many activities of this school, among which sports and music. The young gentlemen that now manage the Chiangrai Hills Stadium and the Weah Radio station (both initiatives of the foundation) are all former students of the Suksa Song Kroh school.
