Football, 15 days on the River Kwai and the coast.
A 15-day pre- or off-season tour for UK college and academy squads (players 16 to 19), led by former West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Matt Jarvis. Structured training blocks, up to four fixtures against Thai academy and school opposition, and the cultural programme our Thai partner Beyond Adventure runs for UK colleges every year. Thailand's dry season (November to February) delivers reliable weather, grass pitches in daily use, and costs below European destinations. Hua Hin already hosts professional squads for pre-season at Arena Hua Hin — four FIFA-size Paspalum pitches.
Every session is planned around the heat: training 07:00–09:00 and 16:30–18:30, fixtures kicking off at 17:00 or later, hydration scheduled every 20 minutes. Standard student safeguarding throughout — agreed staff ratios, single-sex rooming by year group, a named duty manager on 24/7 call, and a full risk assessment pack formatted for college and local-authority approval.
