This is the indigenous chess of Thailand, Makruk, formerly referred to as Siamese Chess, or sometimes Cambodian Chess. Still avidly played throughout Thailand, both on the street and in high level tournaments, this game retains some of the rules of the ancient Persian chess which originated many centuries ago.

The pieces are cast of solid, durable resin (not the brittle plastic found in some sets). They are solid, with small indentations in the underside. The opposing sides are red and white, as shown in the pictures (see detailed pictures below). The largest piece, the horse stands 2 3/8 inches tall.

The playing mat is made of paper, measuring 13 1/2 by 15 inches. It is uncheckered (as shown) in the tradition of Thai form.

Complete with English Rules

This set comes with everything you need to start playing chess in the authentic Thai style. The rule booklet is in clear and concise English, with pictures and diagrams. The pieces and folding playing mat are stored in a convenient plastic box.
