Pickleball in Bangkok, Thailand!

Santisuk is The Home of Thai Pickleball! We started play in January 2016 with all Thai players and were the only place for Thai players to play in all of Thailand, and the only place to play in Bangkok for many years. We play (almost) every Saturday and Sunday. We only play Saturdays and Sundays because our courts are the Santisuk English School parking lot. Every time we play, there'll be 12-20 players on our 3 regulation-size courts WEATHER PERMITTING! (we have no covering over the courts in case of rain). Always OPEN PLAY!!! (you don’t need to come with a partner, you can come alone!) See the maps below for directions to Santisuk.

SANTISUK PICKLEBALL SHINES IN THE USA

The Bangkok Pickleball club had a chance to test their ability against some strong competition in the USA in the summer of 2018.  Our Asian Champion female doubles team of Suparat and Thitiworada (Fang and Ern) took FIRST PLACE at the Wisconsin Cup in June. Ern and Griang took 3rd in the Mixed Doubles at the same tournament.  Both were at the 4.0 level. Steve Cable and his close friend from college Steve Sobek took 2nd in the Men's 4.0 tournament at Royal Oak in Michigan the end of August. Before these tournaments, we could only guess at our levels. Now, we know much better where we stand. Now we can say for sure - MANY of our Santisuk players are at a 4.0 level or higher!   Congrat's to the winners!
