Sepak Takraw or "Foot Volleyball"

Pornchai Kaokaew of Thailand completes against Japan in a sepak takraw (or foot volleyball) match in November at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. Sepak takraw is somewhat similar to volleyball, although players are only allowed touch the ball with their heads, chests, knees, or feet.

I met some players once in Thailand, playing Sepak in a park in Bangkok, and it is very impressive, very acrobatic! Remember the name, and if you have a chance to see them compete, don’t hesitate!

PS I’ve never seen anyone play it in China…
