To Thai Chess.
In my Books about Thai Chess is always White starting at first. That means
that white/red moves first. The strongest players of Thai chess are all
members in the Bangkok Chessclub which is a strong Western Chess Club. Irt
is very likely that there are stronger Players as Mr. Tor from Samut
Prakarn who is very likely the Number 5 in Thailand. The Club in Samut
Prakarn is near the Shuttle Buses to the Crocodile Farm and they are
playing there always in the Afternoon.
Cambodian Chess is identical to Thai Chess with one exception. The king
can jump one time like the castling at the begin from his original field
like a knight to th side. Everything else is identical .... as i know.
