Ubon Ratchathani Hash House Harriers Isaan Thailand

When travelling about the world by yourself or in a small group, there is an excellent way to meet people in the area you are travelling through. It involves drinking, some running or walking and just enjoying yourself.

Hash House Harriers or HHH are all around the world, in the largest of cities to small country towns that could have a hash on. Each month a run (some chapters every week) is organised where the hashers (runners) attend and then follow a trail set by the hare.

I have seen it written, where members often describe their group as "a drinking club with a running problem," and I won’t disagree with them but it is all in good fun and very social.

Ubon Ratchathani here in North East Thailand of course has an Ubon Ratchathani Hash House Harriers, and if you click on that link you will see all the information you need regarding upcoming runs (hashes). There is also an email contact and any questions you may have will be answered.

The Ubon Hash chapter just celebrated the 2 year anniversary, they had an enjoyable hash of course and then returned to their local ex-pat bar N-Joy,for more cold beers, an excellent feed supplied by Lance from N-Joy and danced the night away.

And even when it rained, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits. The party continued on into the night

So if you are visiting Ubon Ratchathani and would like to meet some other expats and enjoy a fun social evening, go to the Ubonhash website and send an email or get the details for the next hash.
