The Thai Game is a breed of hard feather fighting chicken, originating in Thailand, and known as Thai: ไก่ชน. Since 2009 they have been recognised by the British Poultry Standards. They are described as of Malayoid type, with similarities to Shamo but with a lighter build and higher positioned tail as the most obvious differences. Any colour is accepted, but red black is the most common.
The Thai Game originated in Thailand, where they are commonly raised in rural areas for cockfighting and sometimes for exhibition. They thrive in environments that allow for plenty of space to roam. They require secure housing due to their propensity for fighting and active nature.

The Thai Game is recognized for its hardiness and fighting prowess, a characteristic common in gamefowl. Despite this, they can be well-handled if raised with care and understanding of their needs. They tend to be more aggressive, as is typical of game breeds, and require space and structure suitable to their temperament.
