I recently acquired this line of Thai from a friend, and will be breeding these this coming season in very limited quantities.  These birds are young, so I will post more information as I see what these birds develop into.  

Origin: Thailand
Classification: Asian Hardfeather. Large Fowl.
Egg colour: White or tinted

Thai Game is a large game breed of Malayoid type, kept and fought in its country of origin – Thailand.
The standard is intended to preserve this original type.
Their general appearance is very Shamo-like, the major differences being lighter build, a less exaggeratedly upright stance, less prominent shoulders, and a characteristically full tail carried slightly above horizontal.

General characteristics:

Male

Type and Carriage: General appearance agile, alert, and full of aggressive spirit.
Body: Firm and well muscled.
Breast: Broad and full with deep keel.
Back: Long, broadest at shoulders, sloping down towards tail and gradually tapering from upper side of thigh. Backbone straight.
Wings: short, strong and bony, carried close to the body, not showing on the back.
Tail: characteristically full with strong sickles, rising above the horizontal to form a graceful curve. Length to give balance to the bird.
Head: Strong, deep and broad with wattles and earlobes small or absent. Beak powerful, broad and curved downwards, but not hooked. Eyes deep-set under overhanging brows. Comb triple or walnut, set low on a broad base.
Neck: Long, strong-boned and slightly curved
Legs and feet: Legs medium to long, thick and strong with slight bend at hock. Thighs long, round and muscular. Shanks strong and round. Toes four, long and well spread. Hind toe straight and firm on the ground.
Plumage: Feathers short, narrow, and hard, often showing red skin at throat, keel and point of wing.
Handling: Extremely firm fleshed, muscular and well-balanced. Strong contraction of wings to body.

Female

The general characteristics are similar to those of the male, allowing for natural sexual differences.

In both sexes and all colours:
