Field Feature Friday: Transforming Tennis Courts With Xtreme Turf
SEARA Sports brings Xtreme Turf to Chiang Mai’s luxury resort, Fours Seasons.
The large northern Thailand city of Chiang Mai offers a rich cultural history dating back to 1294 and is a popular destination for Thailand’s exploding tourism. The city faces an intense climate with year-round heat and volatile rainfall ranging up to 20 rainy days per month.
With such high rates of tourism each year, it is important for the infrastructure within the country to be sound to accommodate the millions of travelers. Many resorts, including Four Seasons Chiang Mai, offer sports and leisure amenities for guests. Tennis courts are popular with the resort’s demographic, but traditional courts are easily worn down from high-volume usage and harsh weather conditions. To combat this, the hotel selected Xtreme Turf’s specialized tennis synthetic turf system for consistency and durability. Xtreme Turf’s playability allows guests to utilize the court when wet, avoid cosmetic degradation that can result in injuries, and enjoy a surface that is more forgiving to the knees and hips compared to traditional clay courts.
This installation was possible through the effort of our international partner, Seara Sports. As a builder of sports facilities that meet strict international standards, Seara Sports constructs exceptional recreational amenities for properties within Southeast Asia. The Vietnam branch of the international powerhouse has expertly installed close to 40 Xtreme Turf tennis courts within the country. The team at SEARA is comprised of leaders in tennis court resurfacing in Thailand that has successfully serviced high-profile clients within the country for many years.
