Lanna Rugby Tens
The recent Lanna Rugby Tens league ran from August till September 2019 and featured 4 rugby teams:

It was first announced back in April and we had an exclusive interview with Thomas Stubley who gave us the outline of their plans for rugby in northern Thailand.
Although the first tens league this year featured fewer teams than initially hoped, Thomas remains confident they will have more sides involved in 2020.
Chiang Mai All-Stars were the champions in 2019, beating Lanna Rugby Club in the final, 32-17.
