PTT Station Hosts Youth Football Initiative in Bangkok

A PTT gas station in Bangkok’s Khlong Sam Wa district recently hosted a youth football event featuring professional coaching and a mini-tournament for local students.

On September 4, 2026, the PTT Station Saeng Aree branch on Hathairat Road in the Bang Chan sub-district of Bangkok held a community event titled 'PTT Station: Fueling Young Football Dreams.' The initiative aimed to provide local students with professional inspiration and hands-on experience in the sport.

The event featured appearances by former Thai national team goalkeeper Police Colonel Chaiyong Khampiam, who provided tactical training, and football analyst 'Jon' Khajonyot Chokthanaset, who offered guidance on professional conduct for aspiring athletes. The highlight of the day was a 3-on-3 mini-football tournament involving students from four Bangkok schools: Setthabut Bamphen School, Pariyakorn School, Wat Sukjai School, and Ban Ban Chado School.

For residents and travelers, this event highlights the evolving role of PTT service stations in Thailand, which increasingly serve as community hubs beyond their primary function as fuel providers. While the event successfully engaged local youth, it remains to be seen if PTT plans to expand this specific football program to other stations across the country. Visitors passing through the Khlong Sam Wa area may find these stations occasionally hosting local community activities, though schedules for such events are not typically publicized for tourists.
