THAI POLO & EQUESTRIAN CLUB

Thai Polo & Equestrian Club is a polo, riding and equine care estate founded in 2005 by Dr. Harald Link and Nunthinee Tanner. It hosts polo and equestrian competitions, including the Thai Polo Open and the Queen's Cup Pink Polo.

Lessons run from beginner clinics to advanced training and cover dressage, show jumping, eventing and endurance riding, with polo instruction on stick-and-ball and practice chukkas. Guided trail rides cross the estate's hills, lakes and woods, and smaller lesson ponies suit beginners and children.

The horses include high-goal Argentine polo ponies, Warmbloods and Arabian endurance mounts. The club can stable more than 250 horses, assist with horse sales and imports, and runs an equine clinic with X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, laboratory tests and PRP therapy.

Facilities include three full-size polo fields, an indoor dressage arena, show jumping and cross-country courses, clubhouses with a restaurant, a saltwater pool and guest rooms for clinic visitors. Dogs are allowed on the estate but should stay leashed away from arenas and horse walkways.

The estate is at 111 Polo Drive, Moo 9, Pong, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150, in the East Pattaya area near Lake Mabprachan.

From Bangkok or Suvarnabhumi Airport it takes about 75 to 90 minutes via Motorway Route 7, then Route 36 toward Rayong and Pong. From central Pattaya it is about 20 to 30 minutes by car.
