The association plays a role in advising on standard court specifications and international rules.
She also spoke about the association’s recent activities, focusing on organizing competitions continuously for players of all ages. The latest event, “LivWell 55+,” for those aged 55 and over, was held for the second year and received excellent responses and success.
Another major upcoming event is the “Thailand Pickleball Championship 2026 Presented by BRAGG,” scheduled for May 1–3, 2026, at Pickleball Warehouse, Rangsit, Pathum Thani.
