I've shown up at courts across Asia with a paddle, broken English, and no introduction — Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore. Every time, I wished someone had just told me where to go and how it works. This is the guide I wish I'd had walking in. None of it is sponsored.
I'm Chi Wai Hui — Wai to most people.
Taiwan — where I've played longest — plus Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore: those pages are first-hand. When you read “I've found” or “in my experience,” that's literal. I've been on those courts, fumbled those bookings, and figured out who to message.
Asia is bigger than my legs. For cities I haven't played yet, I'd rather give you a researched, clearly-labeled starting point than pretend I've been there — so those pages carry a note saying exactly that. I use research tools to surface the communities, courts, and booking apps, then flag what's verified versus what's still a lead. The aim is an honest full picture, not a fake one.
Friends on the ground and local players send updates, corrections, and the kind of detail you only get from showing up every week. When that happens, I show where it came from — “verified June 2026 by a Da Nang local” is a feature, not something to hide. If you play somewhere I cover and something's wrong or missing, tell me.
No sponsored listings, no pay-to-rank, no paid placement in the court lists. The ratings and recommendations are editorial, and they stay that way. If that ever changes, it'll be labeled so plainly you couldn't miss it.
This site is a work in progress, and it's made by me, AI tools, and friends on the ground — not a staff. I use AI to research cities I haven't reached yet, to draft and tidy, and to keep two dozen city pages from quietly going stale. What it doesn't do is supply experience. The court visits, the judgment calls, and anything written as “I've found” are mine. Where a page is researched rather than played, it says so at the top of the page. Where a local player corrected me, I credit them. I'd rather tell you that than let you picture a bigger operation than exists.
