So what sporting options are open during Bangkok's lockdown?

 

Jogging on the streets.

Playing football in parks, but only two people in each team due to gathering rules.

Indoor bed sports, with masks, are still allowed!

Parks are closed in red and deep-red provinces.

It's not a funny question IMO. People need to be able to exercise to stay in shape and strengthen their immune systems as well as body.  Depending where you are can ride multi speed bikes, walk/jog,  Body weight exercises (can follow the vids on YouTube) or order weights/bands or TRX style exercise bands from Shopee, Alibaba, Lazada.

The hole in the wall ?

Well all the funny/comic responses to the OP's question would indicate that a few of us think it was a funny question.

Exercise can take a multitude of forms which do not need specialist equipment or locations. Counterpain jumping, AKA making babies is a very good one hence my mask comment.

I've been climbing the stairs at my condo. My knees are bad so I walk up the stairs, take the elevator down, then do it again.  I've found it a surprisingly pleasing way to get an aerobic workout with a lot less knee pain than I get from walking. I usually swim laps, and now I'll keep doing some stairs even when the pool opens again ????

Whilst dodging rubber bullets, water cannon and tear gas be sure to get home before the curfew ????

Only you and your human partner(s), if you have them, can answer such a deeply serious question.

???? although I belive gatherings of more than five are frowned on.

Without exercise, even more will die down the road.

just a wording misunderstanding... I think of sporting as team events and thought you were talking about attending/or participating... 

 

In my vernacular, you were talking about exercise options and that is different... 

 

hope you find what you are looking for...

I'm actually looking for sporting activities. I can exercise at home but it's boring doing the same thing now for several months.

Handball tennis practice basketball and hockey shooting skills Burt would suggest that you make sure neighbor not home

Like what? an impromptu Rugby pick-up game in the park?

 

This is what covid is for most of us, I think, in many different ways..

And they have to be carefull of traffic otherwise they will die "on" the road . 

Just look up IPTV.

They even sell packages online Lazada,  Cheap.

 

*Every Pay Per View Event

*Every Sport on earth

*Thoussnds of live channels.

One Price.

 

Trypoint.com has a review of recommended IPTV services and how to install them (Side load) on your Androids Box.  Fairly simple and straight forward.

 

You'll need an Android Box.

Check shoppee or Ali Express.

I've got on mi box S.  4k, works great.  $60.00

 

Top of the line box , Nvidia.  $149.00

 

Good luck.

Something that's open during COVID. There are a lot of activities that don't significantly risk spreading the virus: horse riding, archery, golf (as long as you ride the caddy yourself), rowing (probably not a good idea for BKK) - just wanting to know which ones (and any others) that are open at the moment.

None in the deep-red provinces.  Even the parks are closed for walking in, and the pools for swimming.

I have heard some can be quite attractive... 

 

frustrating times w/many sacrifices for us all... hope you find something.

Hua Hin golf courses are open, as are some of the ones north of BKK. Plenty of roads to run/walk on.

Is the Sky Lane Bicycle path around Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok open?

Are you talking about the fire stairs accessible from each floor ? I used to stay in one of those 30 story high rise buildings, not only are those stairwells one of the most depressing and solitary places to be but most of the doors were locked and you could never exit to any floors except the lobby or the roof...and it's a long way down. Credit to you if you can do it...

By Thai law every 5th floor fire exit must be unlocked so that people in the fire well have a chance to escape back into the building to try another exit if the stairway below is not passable. It took a lot of complaining to get our condo to conform with the law, but it's insane to lock all the doors. Hundreds of people could get trapped in the stairwell if they can't get all the way down to the ground floor exits.

 

Our building fire stair wells are not horribly unpleasant - there are windows and vents on every floor. With headphones it's a bit stuffy but tollerable . Solitary - YA that's the best part!  I've been walking the stairs for weeks with a mask in my pocket but there's never been anyone else in the stairwell.
