Sepak Takraw in Thailand

Sepak Takraw, also known as Asian football, is widely played in Thailand. Find out about how to play the game and where Sepak Takraw is played.

Sepak Takraw, commonly referred to in Thailand just as Takraw, is a sport that is becoming increasingly popular around the world. It is a mixed form of football (soccer) and volleyball with a little bit of kung fu and gymnastics. The basic objective of the game is to keep the special ball from touching the ground. Players can use their feet, knees, head, shoulders and elbows but not their hands.
