Airalee Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Looking for a place to go knock some balls around when I’m bored. Preferably somewhere where expats meetup rather than an all Thai pool hall. Any recommendations? Any places I should avoid? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Fino Snooker Club, 1455 Soi Phatthanakan 31, (not far from "The Londoner") Used to be on Suk 71, moved 5 years ago to Patthanakan 31. Was both Snooker and Pool with good quality tables and low prices, mixed Thai/Farang clientele. Not sure if above still the case. Not sure if Farangs are welcome at the snooker hall on Suk 69, close to the BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airalee Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks for the tip! I will definitely check it out. I’ll also check the place on soi 69 and report back to let you know if it’s farang friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Gullivers in nana....right up your alley, you will easy find a few freelancers to play with there as well....oh i mean play pool with...from what i could see some are very well experienced in more than one recreation, Food is pretty good too.

Very handy for Sukhumvit 71? It would be more accurate to say that Gulliver's would be nowhere near being up his alley based on the OP. And it's in Soi 5, not Nana.

And it's in Soi 5, not Nana. 10 min skytrain ride there you know, pool day and night the poster never mentioned what area he was in, he states where expats go...and they go there, must be at least 8 pool tables plus you get some eye candy to go with the game wont take much to get them to join you if all lonely and alone..... a decent bar as well and lets not forget they serve a decent meal there sitting inside or outside..Last time I was in Soi 5 it was most definatly in the Nana precident .....

Airalee Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 I appreciate all the suggestions. Not so concerned with eye candy. Plenty of that everywhere in BKK. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The OP mentioned he wanted some practice time which is difficult to get on bar and pub pool tables where they want you to only play challenge matches. This includes Gullivers. The very nice pool hall on the 2nd floor of the Raumchit Hotel (Sports Academy?) around Suk. 15 often has tables open in the afternoon available by the hour for practice.

HidyHo Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If people are bringing in lower Suk into the conversation, ,then there are three main "farang" oriented pool halls with more than few 9 ft. tables: 1. Hustlers in Time Square (near Suk 12) 2. Sports Academy in Rumchit Hotel (near Suk 15) 3. Sportsman (in Suk 13 at Trendy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only after 4pm in Sports Academy (unless they have changed that recently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to but currently stuck in the USA for a month or so. Maybe another time though I have zero snooker skills and scant pool skill as well.
