Hi, I'm trying to get a group membership going at the Racquet Club Gym on Thong Lo. A year-long membership costs 12,000 baht total, and if after 6 months you decide that fat is beautiful and you love yourself just the way that you are, you can sell your membership if you want. It's very big, with a lot of machines, and not crowded at all, unlike most other Bangkok gyms. They also have:

Racquetball courts

Tennis courts

badminton courts

squash courts

two large swimming pools

sauna

Thailand's largest indoor rock-climbing wall

and snooker.

Check out their webpage at www.rqclub.com and give me a call if you're interested, but call soon! We want to join soon.

I went to look at the Soi Klang Racquet Club and it is a very good facility. Met w/Leatheryjowls today at a restaurant close to the club and discussed membership. Even though the facilities are not spanking new, they are in very good shape. If you have been looking for a place to play tennis, badminton and racketball/squash, this is the place for you. I am meeting Leatheryjowls again on Monday at lunch to finalize membership, so if you are interested, show up or contact him. He still needs a couple more people to join.

PS Just a last note, if you do become a member, they do have tuk tuk pickups at Sukhumvit 35 next to BTS Phrom Phong, appx. 15 minutes after the hour (10:15, 11:15, etc.).
