B.Grimm, Proud Group, InterContinental Hua Hin Resort and Bluport Hua Hin will jointly hold Asia’s largest beach polo event in Hua Hin on 9 April. The InterContinental-B.Grimm Beach Polo 2022 will take place on the beach in front of the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, with the winner receiving HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha Cup. Proceeds from the event will go to the Nabha Foundation under the patronage of HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha for charity.
Mr. Harald Link, chairman of the tournament, Presidents of the B.Grimm Group and the Equestrian Association of Thailand, said the event demonstrates the country’s potential in hosting an international-scale polo tournament. “The unique challenge of the beach polo event is to calculate and monitor the tide times each year in order to determine the right time when the tide has receded to an appropriate level for the competition. “Furthermore, the polo ball has been changed to that is made from rubber similar to a soccer ball and being smaller in size instead of regular polo balls. “But rules of competition according to international standards are still applied,” Dr Link, the pioneer of beach polo in Thailand, noted.
