At the end of November, the Thailand GAA hosted the 2024 Asian Gaelic Games at the Patana Sports complex. Teams from across Asia came into Bangkok to compete. Bagpiping the Asian Gaelic Games was a new event and experience.
A big “thank you” to the Thailand GAA for the invitation to play. This was the second event by the organization in as many months. In October, I played a parade of athletes for the Youth Games (link here). Again, although the bagpipes we played are generally considered Scottish, they are not out of place to play for Irish events, especially as highland bagpipes can march, whereas Irish pipers have to sit down to play.
