Bridge Clubs in other areas

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

 
 

Chiang Mai Bridge Club, Thailand

 
  Chiang Mai now has an official bridge club, affiliated with the Contract Bridge League of Thailand.  
 

We have two afternoon sessions a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays. The Friday session is an open one. It also includes coaching for beginners and help for those who used to play but are rusty. The Wednesday session is a duplicate game which is more oriented to club members. We ask potential new members to come to the Friday session first. As we grow, we expect to add further sessions and offer tournaments also. So, join us and be part of the growth of this new bridge club in Chiang Mai. We welcome new players, even if you are only here for part of the year. Players at all levels are welcome.
