Bangkok Monday Hash House Harriers (BMH3) consists of a group of people who
like to go out for a run on Monday evenings and have a few beers and
socialise afterwards. Anyone is welcome to come along.
Each week the run is held in a different place (usually on the outskirts of
Bangkok), and as a result Hashers see far more of the place than they would
otherwise. The run lasts about one hour, but there are several 'checks'
which allow the slower runners to catch up with the rest of the pack. The
trail often goes off the beaten track, so wearing new running shoes and
clothes is not a good idea.
BMH3 was formed in 1982 and has met nearly every Monday since then - over
1000 times so far. The mismanagement committee is irresponsible for
everything. A new mismanagement committee is appointed every November. Over
475 people are members of this Hash.
When and Where?
This Hash meets every Monday at 5:30 pm (5:15 pm in the winter). Run sites
are announced on the Web and in the Bangkok Post's Saturday Sports Page.
Members receive a weekly newsletter with upcoming run directions.
Who and How Much?
Participants come from all walks of life, and various parts of the world -
including Thailand! The Monday Hash has 60 active members and typically 20
to 30 people turn up each week. Run fees for visitors are 200 Baht. This
includes the beer after the run.
Though the concept of ‘membership’ is rather lose, after a few runs you will
be asked to pay B200 for ‘life membership’.
