SAMUI, Thailand 2023: The 5th annual Samui Open Beach Volleyball Tournament will convene on Samui island, 10 to 12 March 2023, at the Royal Muang Samui Villas on Choeng Mon Beach.

Over the three days, 80 teams will compete in four divisions (Men’s 2X2, Women’s 2X2, Mix 2X2 and Quads 4X4) to win the THB80,000
prize money plus trophies, medals, sponsor vouchers, volleyball gear and apparel. Teams will represent 28 countries from Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Asia.
