| ABOUT HASHING IN PHUKET
Phuket Hash House Harriers was formed in June of 1986 just after Pattaya held the very successful World Interhash. Although a few Hash runs did take place earlier, none were organized until Alan “Dubai” Cooke & his wife Marie started PH3 on Saturday June 14th 1986.
Over the years since then PH3 has passed some major milestones and grown to be a great hashing center for the region. In 1992 PH3 held World Interhash with 2500 hashers taking part. Our 500th run was achieved in 1994, our 800th run in 2001 and our 1000th run, in June 2005.
The Phuket Hash runs every Saturday throughout the year with somewhere near 100 registrees. It is a mixed hash in theory but there is usually a sizable number of camp followers in the form of picnickers, dogs, ankle biters and sundry hangers-on which combine to make it a very enjoyable afternoon out.
Being the senior hash in Phuket it has fallen to PH3 to lead the way.
There are now eight separate hashes on Phuket Island (if you count PISH).
