PATTAYA, THAILAND, May 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Thailand Open 2011 will be held close to Pattaya in June, bringing together some of the finest draughts players in the world.
It is the seventh time the tournament has been held, with Dutch gamer Gabriel Heerema the current champion.
The international competition runs from June 3rd to 12th and sees matches take place from about 08:00 to 14:00 local time each day, leaving players with the afternoon and evening to relax and explore the destination.
"Sun, sea, beach, nature, culture, friendly people, nice food, nice nightlife, draughts ... is there a better combination?" asked the organisers on their official invitation.
They went on to point out that people could even take an elephant ride once they have finished playing for the day.
Visitors taking part in the event in Jomtien, near Pattaya, will not want to miss the opening games, which commence at 19:00 on June 3rd, or the closing ceremony on the final day starting at 15:00.
There are at least 30 prizes to be won, with the contest played according to the Swiss System under FMJD rules.
