TIME Magazine has posted on its official instagram account a picture of the floating soccer pitch on Koh Panyi Island, Phang Nga. The post has received many comments describing it as a very beautiful attraction which must be visited.

The field was built by local fishermen who love to play soccer but cannot find an area with enough flat space to play, leading them to construct a floating platform as a soccer field.

The floating field has since become a gathering place for school children after class to play football, and is now the house field of Panyi FC youth team.

It was earlier called by the British media Metro one of the most scenic soccer fields in the world.
