The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys
Built Their Own Soccer Field ©21
by Scott Riley
After watching the World Cup on television, a group of Thai boys is inspired to
form their own team. But on the island of Koh Panyee, in a village built on stilts,
there is no open space. The boys can play only twice a month on a sandbar
when the tide is low enough. Everything changes when the teens join together
to build their very own floating soccer field.
