Whitewater Rafting at Its Best - Thailand Style!

Filed under: Soccer Sites and The Best Articles by: Mr.Soccer

But lazily watching a river go by is quite a different experience from actually being in the midst of its rushing, bubbling madness. As the Mae Taeng boasts Thailand’s best white water rapids. The difficulty of a stretch of white water rapid is measured on an internationally-approved scale of one to six. The Mae Taeng is made up primarily of rapids rated three and four - enough to produce an intense adrenaline rush. I went with Siam River Adventures.

Customer Review: Slippery but solid
This is a great value for a certified match ball. It plays and practices very well and has a solid and satisfying feel. It holds air well. Compared to many balls it’s slippery, which is a nice change from most other balls. You can slide it around and dribble it much easier than many balls that are more prone to grip the grass and catch on your cleats.
If I had any complaint it would be that the ball seems pretty hard at the rated pressure when it’s new. But it’s easy enough to under-inflate it a bit, and over time it seems to loosen up somewhat. Highly recommended.

This ball has a great touch and feel. I had trained with the Nike Veer and that is a nice ball. This one seems to fly further, has a more deft juggling touch and more prounounced bend. Nothing against the Veer but this ball rocks!
