History
[edit]Establishment
[edit]SAP Speed Airsoft & Paintball Field is located in the Lat Krabang area of eastern Bangkok.
The venue developed as a facility for competitive paintball and related activities.
Its name identifies both airsoft and paintball, although the available documentary evidence is stronger for its competitive paintball operations.
The exact opening date of the field has not been established.
By 2025, SAP Field was being used for organised tournament paintball through the NAWASIA competition series.
Competitive activity in 2025
[edit]SAP Field hosted events associated with the NAWASIA Paintball Competition during 2025.
The Malaysia Paintball tournament calendar identifies the venue as the location for the second and third legs of the 2025 series.[1][2]
The events were scheduled for:
- 2–3 August 2025 — NAWASIA Competition Leg 2
- 29–30 November 2025 — NAWASIA Competition Leg 3
Both listings identify Acha Aisawan as the event contact.
The published competition information included three divisions, with different entry fees, match durations and prize structures.
The listings establish the venue's role in the tournament calendar but do not, by themselves, establish complete attendance figures or final results.
Media coverage
[edit]The June 2025 edition of Paintball Media Magazine covered the NAWASIA competition and its participants.[3]
The magazine also identified the two later Bangkok events scheduled for August and November 2025.
This provides independent paintball media coverage of the competition series associated with SAP Field.
Competitive activity in 2026
[edit]SAP Field was again identified as a NAWASIA tournament venue in 2026.
Paintball Garage Asia published details of the first leg of the 2026 NAWASIA series, scheduled for 9–10 May at SAP Field in Thailand.[4]
The competition was promoted by World Paintball Sport Academy.
The published event information specified X-Ball split-deck competition, race formats, equipment limits and three divisions.
The article was published on 2 June 2026, after the advertised tournament dates. However, the available text primarily reproduces event information rather than providing independently verified final results.
Location
[edit]SAP Field is located in Lam Pla Thio, Lat Krabang District, Bangkok.
The published address is:
Khum Klao Soi 12, Lam Pla Thio, Lat Krabang, Bangkok 10520, Thailand.
This address appears on the website associated with Acha Aisawan and the NAWASIA competition.[5]
The venue is situated in eastern Bangkok, separate from historically documented paintball fields such as Expressway Paintball Club and Tubchang Paintball & BB.
The exact land area, field dimensions and number of playing surfaces have not been independently established.
Facilities
[edit]Tournament paintball
[edit]SAP Field is documented as a venue for organised competitive paintball.
Its tournament activity includes X-Ball competitions using timed matches and race-to formats.
The NAWASIA competition information identifies the use of a split-deck format in 2026.
A split-deck arrangement allows tournament organisers to schedule matches efficiently, although the exact field configuration used at SAP Field has not been independently documented.
Training
[edit]Menace Paintball, a Thai paintball equipment and apparel retailer, identifies SAP Paintball Field as a location where its players train.[6]
The retailer describes the venue as providing a supportive training environment.
This establishes a connection between the facility and ongoing competitive player development, beyond its use for tournament events.
Airsoft
[edit]The venue's published name includes "Airsoft".
However, the sources examined do not establish the precise airsoft facilities, playing formats, operating schedule or relationship between airsoft and paintball activities at SAP Field.
The field's airsoft operations therefore require further documentation.
NAWASIA Paintball Competition
[edit]Overview
[edit]The NAWASIA Paintball Competition is a tournament paintball series associated with Acha Aisawan and World Paintball Sport Academy.
SAP Field served as a venue for documented NAWASIA events in 2025 and 2026.
The organiser's website identifies Acha Aisawan as the founder of NAWASIA Competitions and Aisawan International.[5]
The website also describes his involvement in the World Paintball Championship and Thailand's national paintball team.
These organisational descriptions are published by the organiser and have not all been independently verified.
NAWASIA 2025
[edit]The second and third legs of the 2025 series were scheduled at SAP Field.
The published competition structure was:
| Division | Format | Game time | Registration fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | Race-to-3 | 8 minutes | 4,000 THB |
| Semi Pro | Race-to-3 | 8 minutes | 3,000 THB |
| Division 1 | Race-to-2 | 5 minutes | 2,000 THB |
These figures are historical advertised tournament fees and formats, not general admission prices for the field.[1][2]
The published prize schedule was:
| Division | 1st prize | 2nd prize | 3rd prize | 4th prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | 35,000 THB | 25,000 THB | 15,000 THB | 10,000 THB |
| Semi Pro | 20,000 THB | 15,000 THB | 10,000 THB | 6,000 THB |
| Division 1 | 10,000 THB | 7,000 THB | 5,000 THB | 4,000 THB |
The figures represent advertised prizes, not independently verified payments to winning teams.
NAWASIA 2026
[edit]The May 2026 NAWASIA competition was advertised with three star-rated divisions.
| Division | Format | Match time | Maximum roster | Registration fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Five-star | Race-to-4 | 12 minutes | 10 players | 5,000 THB |
| Four-star | Race-to-3 | 9 minutes | 10 players | 4,000 THB |
| Three-star | Race-to-2 | 6 minutes | 10 players | 3,000 THB |
The published technical rules included:
- Maximum marker velocity: 300 feet per second
- Maximum rate of fire: 10.5 balls per second
- Tournament-grade paintballs
- Split-deck X-Ball competition
These specifications were advertised for the 2026 NAWASIA tournament and should not be interpreted as universal rules for every activity at SAP Field.[4]
2026 prize structure
[edit]The published 2026 event information advertised the following prizes:
| Division | 1st prize | 2nd prize | 3rd prize | 4th prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Five-star | 46,000 THB | 33,000 THB | 20,000 THB | 13,000 THB |
| Four-star | 26,000 THB | 20,000 THB | 13,000 THB | 8,000 THB |
| Three-star | 14,000 THB | 10,000 THB | 7,000 THB | 5,500 THB |
These are advertised prize amounts rather than confirmed tournament payouts.
Acha Aisawan and Aisawan International
[edit]The website associated with SAP Field identifies Acha Aisawan as a Bangkok-based paintball organiser.[5]
It describes him as the founder of Aisawan International, the World Paintball Championship and NAWASIA Competitions.
Aisawan International is described as a business and organisational umbrella for competitive paintball activities.
The website also identifies the Aisawan Ladies International paintball team and World Paintball Champions League among its associated projects.
These descriptions provide evidence of the organiser's stated activities, although the legal and administrative relationships between the various organisations have not been independently established.
The published SAP Field contact information uses Acha Aisawan's name and contact details.
This demonstrates an organisational connection but does not conclusively establish ownership of the land or physical facility.
International participation
[edit]The NAWASIA series attracted attention from players outside Thailand.
A June 2025 article in Paintball Media Magazine described participants and families attending the competition.[3]
The magazine's coverage indicates that NAWASIA was part of a broader regional paintball community.
The presence of tournament listings on Malaysia Paintball also demonstrates the promotion of the Bangkok events to competitors in neighbouring countries.
However, the exact number of international teams competing at SAP Field in each documented event has not been independently established.
Commercial and industry activity
[edit]Paintball retailers
[edit]Menace Paintball identifies SAP Field as a training venue.
The relationship provides evidence of interaction between Bangkok's competitive paintball facilities and equipment retailers.[6]
Apparel launch
[edit]An event listing for 2 August 2025 advertised a product launch by OUT Paintball at SAP Field Thailand.[7]
The event was scheduled to coincide with the NAWASIA tournament weekend.
The announcement promoted a paintball apparel collection and an on-field showcase.
The event listing is evidence of the planned activity; it does not independently confirm attendance or sales.
Historical significance
[edit]SAP Speed Airsoft & Paintball Field is part of Bangkok's documented competitive paintball infrastructure during the 2020s.
Its significance includes:
- Hosting documented NAWASIA tournament events in 2025
- Serving as a venue for the advertised 2026 NAWASIA competition
- Providing a location for competitive paintball training
- Supporting tournaments with multiple skill divisions
- Hosting events using X-Ball race formats
- Maintaining connections with regional paintball organisers and retailers
- Providing evidence of continued organised tournament paintball in Bangkok
The field demonstrates that competitive paintball activity in Thailand continued after the earlier PALS and Thailand Paintball Official Circuit periods.
