AVC stint opened doors for Mylene Paat in Thailand

MANILA, Philippines—It was a disappointing loss that ultimately opened the door for Mylene Paat to play in Thailand.

Paat was with Team Choco Mucho in the 2021 AVC Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship when they lost to Thai side Nakhon Ratchasima Women’s Volleyball Club in straight sets, 25,11, 28-26, 25-17.

It was in that game that Paat finished with eight points in just two sets of play and gained the approval of the four-time Thailand League champion.

“I think it was in the past AVC where they saw me play and they liked how I performed,” said Paat in Filipino during an episode of One Sports’ The Game. “It was there that they took me in.”

Paat eventually signed a four-month contract with the team to play in the Thailand League, a competition Nakhon Ratchasima last won in 2019.
