Padel has found a natural home in Bangkok. The sport is quick to pick up, sociable by design and played in doubles, which makes it easy to fit a match around a working week in the city. If you are searching for padel courts in Bangkok, this guide covers where to play, how to book and how to improve.
It is written from the perspective of Pad Thai Padel, which runs its Bangkok club on Rama IV Road and is opening a second location at Cloud 11 later this year. It covers what the club offers, how booking works, what lessons cost and how to find people to play with.
Padel in Bangkok at a glance
Padel is played in doubles on an enclosed glass court, so every booking needs four players. The scoring follows tennis and the walls are in play, so rallies last longer and newcomers can enjoy a proper game from their first session. Court sessions typically run for 60, 90 or 120 minutes.
Two things shape padel life in Bangkok. The first is the weather: the rainy season makes indoor courts valuable. The second is timing: evenings are the busiest period, so booking ahead for weekday nights and weekends is sensible.
Pad Thai Padel Rama 4
Pad Thai Padel Rama 4 is Bangkok's first premium padel club. It sits at 3249 Rama IV Road in Khlong Toei and is open from 08:00 to 23:00 every day. There are three courts, two indoor and one outdoor, so you can play under cover during the rainy months and outside on a clear evening.
The design borrows from the tennis clubs of the seventies and eighties and pairs that retro feel with contemporary architecture. Off court there is food and drink, from fresh salads and pressed sandwiches to craft beers and natural wines, plus outdoor yoga classes and ice baths for recovery. The club has built one of the biggest padel communities in the city and holds a 4.4 Google rating. Full details are on the Bangkok club page, and the front desk can be reached on +66 97 259 0202.
Booking a court
There are two ways to book a court in Bangkok. The first is The Padel Society app, available on iOS and Android, which lets you book courts and coaching, join events and track your level. The second is the web checkout at book.getsetpoint.io, handy if you are visiting and would rather not install anything.
A court booking covers all four players, so one person usually books and the group splits the cost. Rackets and balls can be rented at the club, so you only need non-marking court shoes.
Lessons and the academy
The Bangkok academy is led by Head Coach Jose Mouliaa, a former professional player who reached number 69 on Premier Padel and number 76 on the World Padel Tour. He is joined by Eli Estrada, an APPT Grand Slam winner and female professional. Adrian Ronco, the academy's pro player, competes on the Premier Padel circuit.
Coaching is organised in three ways. Monthly plans start with Essential at 4,500 THB for four 90-minute group sessions, move up to Growth at 9,500 THB, which adds two individual lessons and two video analyses, and top out with Performance at 14,500 THB, which includes three individual lessons and a physical conditioning session. Credit packs valid for three months suit irregular schedules: the Starter Pack is 12,500 THB and the Pro Pack is 32,000 THB. À la carte, a group class is 1,200 THB, an individual lesson is 2,000 THB and the ball machine is 1,300 THB per hour with the court fee included. Groups are arranged by level, from Beginner (1.0 to 1.7) through to Advanced (3.5 and above). The full breakdown is on the Bangkok academy page.
Finding partners and events
If you are new to the city, the quickest way to find a game is through the events in The Padel Society app. Americanos and Mexicanos are short, rotating formats in which you change partners every round, so you meet many players in a single evening. The club also runs King of the Court sessions, round robins, tournaments and clinics. The app matches players by level, so you are placed with people you can genuinely rally with. Upcoming dates are listed on the events page.
Coming next: Cloud 11
Pad Thai Padel's second Bangkok club, at Cloud 11, is due to open in November 2026. The address and court count have not been announced yet, but you can follow the Cloud 11 page for updates as the opening approaches.
Practical tips
- Book evenings and weekends ahead, as those are the busiest slots.
- Choose an indoor court during the rainy season.
- Wear non-marking court shoes. Rackets and balls can be rented at the club.
- Arrive with three friends, or join an event and let the app fill the court.
- Know your level. Bangkok groups run Beginner (1.0 to 1.7), High Beginner (1.8 to 2.4), Low Intermediate (2.5 to 2.9), Intermediate (3.0 to 3.5) and Advanced (3.5 and above).
Whether you want a one-off game while passing through or a regular weekly slot, Pad Thai Padel Rama 4 is built for both. Book a court, join an Americano or drop in for a lesson, and you will be part of the community sooner than you expect.
