TKL Airsoft In Himmappan Forest

Posted on by Edmund

My first Airsoft MILSIM since 2016, second game in Thailand, and with almost 300 players, this is the biggest event I’ve been to so far.

Organizers at TKL Airsoft have been planning this for months, and it showed. Game was from late morning to night, with balanced emphasis on fire fights, importance of supplies and accomplishing mission objectives.

The entire game narrative was loosely based on a true event that happened right here in this place (Himmappan Forest) where the Thai Army fought the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT).

Of course, as you can see in the photos, the players from each faction wore “loosely based” (camo for Thai Army and Foreign Volunteers, black and plain color for CPT)

The other thing that caught my attention was the WW2 reenactor scene is really strong in Thailand. Just wow!

And they have an impressive range of Airsoft guns too.

Hope to bring more Malaysians with me next round. There were 5 of us (incidentally, all from Johor… hence LUASKAN KUASAMU) but the more, the merrier.

Will definitely want to come back again!

XS Race

At this point, it’s been 9 months I’ve been active in the seminar business. Nearly every week I’d be doing presentations and workshops, though I still train actively by doing near-nightly walks, gym and hikes on weekends.

So I was looking forward to the XS Obstacle Course Race. Even though it’s only 5KM and significantly easier than the Viper Challenges and Spartan Races I joined, the event was to be held back in September but had to be postponed on account of haze.

The race requires a team of 3; we stuck together from start to the finishing line.

My approach to these obstacle races: don’t waste your energy on running; save it for the obstacles.

I look forward to joining more events like this now and then, but not the Viper Challenges (done it like 3-4 times already) and Spartan Race (completed the Trifecta already).
