Does anyone have experience with ice skating or playing hockey in Thailand? I'll be coming down for a few years on work assignment and I'd love to keep my skates sharp...

I am open to correction on this, but I think the nearest is Singapore.

In Bangkok you can skate in Esplanade Mall which is on Rachada or in another Mall which I can't remember the name of, but its far down Sukhumvit (way past On Nut). The latter is a bigger and better rink IMO.

Big correction mate, I know of about 4 in Thailand personally and I don't even skate!

Just remembered the name of that one on Sukhumvit, it's the Imperial Mall, I think they also have an Imperial Mall in Ladprao with an ice rink (which is smaller I think).

There also used to be one in World Trade centre but it closed a few years back...

i like this forum, you guys are alright. umm... go liverpool?

I was communicating with somebody here at TV not too long ago, and he told me he was playing ice hockey regularly in Bangkok. I know there was (and maybe still is) a 6-team league in the Big Mango, and one of teams was (is?) called the "Flying Farang".

UPDATE: It appears that the Flying Farang still exist, and here's a link to their web site: http://www.flyingfarangs.com/

If the Imperial Mall past On Nut, you mean going East? And it has a skating rink?!

How far from On Nut?

Ice rink in Pattaya?

not until hel_l freezes over, then the reservoir may be a good bet...

just could not resist that one.

Imperial World - Samrong has a rink and I believe there is a ice hockey teal called the Flying Falangs who play from there.

Ice skating - World Trade Centre - Bangkok. Large Ice scating ring, its on approx the 6 or 8th floor. Very good and lots of fun if you go with someone who cannot skate very well..lol...

You must've been in Pattaya for the past few years. Alas, the World Trade Center is no more.. it's now "Central World", and no more ice skating ring

Ice skating is available at the Imperial mall in Lad Prao - fourth floor.

Big C is downstairs / anchor tennant, and all of the drivers know the complex as Big C Lad Prao.
