Chiang Mai Sports Info 2014

Information on Sports and Activities that Students can
join in and around Chiang Mai
I (Mr. Lee) feel that it’s very important for all students to lead a healthy and full lifestyle.
During the P.E class and within the school teams we try to give NIS students as much
exposure to as many different sports and activities as possible, but for students who want
to join sports clubs outside of school what are their options?
I have compiled an information sheet that shows sports clubs, activities and places where
sports can be enjoyed throughout the Chiang Mai area. Hopefully this information will
inspire you to send your children to take part in sports/activities outside of school as well
as in school.
Firstly I will list places where students can go to play sports and the clubs that can be
joined. I have included as many telephone numbers/days/times as possible. Some of
these times, telephone numbers may be out of date, it’s probably better in most cases to
go and ask about, times, dates and prices.
