The Bangkok Hash House Harriers, is Bangkok’s premier hash. It is led by the Grand Master (GM), runs every Saturday at 5 PM in Summer, and 4:30 PM in Winter, or according to whatever GMT (Grand Master's Time) is published with the newsletter the week before the run.
The run is usually in the bush, avoiding road running. A typical trail takes between one hour and one and a half hours to complete. It is not competitive. Some just walk and talk. It is always hot, and a cold beer afterwards goes down better here than anywhere else in the world. Wherever the run is, around Bangkok or upcountry, you will see more of Amazing Thailand and its people than you planned. Most run sites in Bangkok can be easily reached by taxi; you could also contact a reliable member (oxymoron?) and ask for a lift if you can meet up at a convenient point (see contact numbers on the Comittee Page).
The usual visitor's run fee is 300 baht. So why not get a taste of what it is like to run with the finest men in hashing shirts on the city’s premier hash?
