Petanque.Th, Our International Petanque court
Petanque is the by far most practiced game of bowls on the earth, firstly because of the simplicity of the rules. The popularity was strongly underlined during the last World Championship in Pattaya, Thailand in 2007. National teams from 60 countries world-wide participated in the competition, and witch also in 2007 was won by France. Petanque / jeu de boules started in France nearly 100 years ago.
The first tournaments started after the second world-war (1945). Today we have more than 600.000 licensed players, and millions playing Petanque / boules as their first hobby. It is a play for both sexes and all ages.

43rd Petanque World Championship 2007
The teams of Poland and Norway before the contest
When we learned that Pattaya should host the World Championship in September 2007 (indoors), we asked our selves "Where shall all visitors undertake their preparation for the up coming competition? No listed Clubs/courts in Pattaya! By so, as we had land we constructed the court in three months time, (March 2007 until end of May the same year.) In order never to have rain more than 5 minutes on the court, the surface has been rebuild two times. Taking the temperature in Thailand into consideration, it was obvious to us that having floodlight was mandatory part of the court. So far we are using 5000W from it starts to get dark.
