10th Anniversary Beach Polo for a Princess Pa

The Asian Beach Polo Championship 2019 seeks to promote the games of kings and benefit society’s disadvantaged.

The Nabha Foundation under HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha was established on the belief that all people should have the opportunity to choose how they live, even if they did not choose society’s disadvantaged and prison inmates to help them start new lives.

The foundation believes that everyone deserves a second chance. Hence it supports instruction courses in craftmanship as a way of helping inmates to create self-respect and a better way of living when they re-establish themselves in society. Many of the wonderful products on sale at the Asian Beach Polo event are made by beneficiaries of the Nabha Foundation.
