Bridge Clubs in other areas

Please inform me of any bridge clubs in Thailand or the surrounding area and I will mention them here.

 
     
 

Koh Samui Bridge Club, Thailand

 
  There are a small number of "die hards" here on Koh Samui who are attempting to keep a Bridge Club afloat. "Club" is a bit pretentious as there are only between 4 - 12 people depending on availability (visa runs, home visits etc) getting together weekly for 30 or so boards of duplicate bridge. We are very "Hotch-Potch" having scraped together the minimum requirements to hold sessions but we are enthusiastic and we play relaxing and enjoyable games with (of course) informative post mortums.  
  We usually meet on Tuesdays at 1400hrs at the Weekender Villa Beach Resort, Lamai Beach, Koh Samui.

Hua Hin Bridge Club, Thailand

 
  There is a bridge club in Hua Hin which meets every Sunday at 3.00 p.m and also on Thursdays in the high season.  
  Hua Hin Bridgeclub, Petchakasem Rd Soi 94, 10 Duisit Land & House No 134/100  
  Director: Arne Bolstedt  
  E-mail: huahinbridgeclub@yahoo.se  
  Tel: 032-535 487   
     
     
 

Penang Bridge Club, Malaysia, Asia

 
  This is a small bridge club that meets weekly on Tuesdays at 7:30 in The Penang Sports Club about 3 miles from the centre of Georgetown, Penang. There has been some talk of changing the venue and perhaps the day so confirm before you go. They can probably arrange a partner if given a few days notice.
