Invitation for Thailand Open 2011
Sun, sea, beach, nature, culture, friendly people, nice food, nice nightlife, draughts, …
is there a better combination? Playing draughts in the morning, swimming in the sea or sitting on an
elephant in the afternoon. In the evening, if you like, there are many open bars.
In June 2011 there will be an international draughts tournament in Jomtien, a nice tourist village
just at the beach. Nine rounds in nine days according to the Swiss System and the rules of the FMJD.
We will play eight games in the morning and one game in the afternoon. There will be enough time to
take part on (of course fully voluntary) excursions, or to play rapid (‘blitz’)
games, or to play a small tournament ‘Thai draughts’ with the locals. The
entrance fee of the participation is 50 euro. If you want to stay in the same hotel as the
tournament, the costs are app. 145 euro for 9 nights with breakfast, based on a shared room. The
transfer Bangkok-Jomtien is about 7 euro per person with the minibus. Excursions are, of course, not
included in the price. We recommend you to spend more days in the nice country of Thailand. Come and
join the 7th International Draughts Tournament in Jomtien (‘Thailand Open’) 3-12
June 2011 in the Jomtien Garden Hotel, 31/71 Moo 12, Nongprue, Banglamoung, Chonburi 20260,
