Why Schlaraffia?

Schlaraffia is not your typical club – it is an experience. A world apart where everyday stress stays at the door and your inner playfulness awakens. Think of it as a creative escape – and you will pick up some German along the way.

Humour with style

Wordplay, satire, self-irony – all delivered with flair. At Schlaraffia, smart minds laugh together, never at each other. Taking yourself too seriously is strictly forbidden.

Genuine friendship

No superficial networking, no business agendas. The bonds among Schlaraffen are deep, honest and span the globe. Once you are in, you are family – worldwide.

Art & culture

Poetry, speeches, music, sketches – everyone brings their talent. Our meetings, called Sippungen, are part stage and part magic: German cultural tradition experienced first hand.

At home worldwide

More than 200 chapters across five continents. Wherever you travel, fellow Schlaraffen welcome you like an old friend – united by the German language and the joy of the game.

Your inner child

Seriousness stays outside. Inside you are free to play, dream and laugh. Schlaraffia is a reminder that life is allowed to be light.

Ritual & adventure

Knights and squires, realms and thrones, coats of arms and medals – this medieval role play turns every evening into an unforgettable experience.

Schlaraffia – almost everywhere around the world

Founded in Prague in 1859 and today represented on every continent: Schlaraffia is one of the oldest fellowship organisations in the world. An international community united by art, friendship, humour – and the German language as its common bond.

A German-speaking community in Thailand

You live in Thailand and sometimes miss the humour, the depth and the companionship of a German-speaking circle? Then you have come to the right place. Schlaraffia Castrum Siamesiae brings together men from Germany, Austria and Switzerland — in an atmosphere you will find nowhere else in the country.

Picture an evening on which work and everyday life stay outside. Inside there is laughter, recitation, rhyme and play — with substance, but with no claim to perfection. A medieval role play provides the frame; at the centre stands the person and his humour.

Whether you are a long-settled expatriate or newly arrived — here you will find real friendship rather than superficial networking. We meet at the Sawasdeeburg in Restaurant Vespresso near Pattaya, as a rule twice a month on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. A first visit costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Upcoming events

A Sippung is more than a get-together. Experience humour, art and fellowship in an atmosphere you will find nowhere else. Guests are always welcome – at no cost and with no obligation.
