A Squash Court In Ban Chang

[Richb2004v2]

I'm looking for a squash court in Ban Chang. I used to play occasionally at one of the hotels near the beach, but can't remember which one. It may have been Puramis.

Please jog my memory.

That's where I used to play a few years ago. It is still a bit far away. If nothing else turns up I will go back.

Nothing in Ban Chang or surrounding areas, a buddy of mine plays squash and he goes to Pattaya..

There was definitely one in one of the hotels between Phayun and Phala beach. It was either Puramis, Milford or one of the others. I just can't remember which. My wife said the hotel was taken over by a bank so the court can no longer be used. She can't remember which one it was either. I guess I will have to take a drive along and look for it.

That sounds good. A few years ago I tried unsuccessfully to find either a squash or badminton club. I tried two Thai organized badminton clubs and eventually gave it up as I could not figure out what was going on. Is that club Thai or ferang or a mix, and is it actually organized as a club. The badminton clubs I tried seemed only to be sets of completely separate people without any organized rotation or selection of play.

Thanks for the info anyway, I will try it when I return in five weeks, after some practice of course .

That must be the one I used before. I will check it again and maybe warm up there before joining the club mentioned in the other post.

The Squash Club at the Ambassador is 'organised' by Farangs but there have been Thais playing there too over the years.

I put 'organised' in quotes as it's really quite laid back, you turn up and play whoever is there, usually best of 3 so you can change partners quickly.

If the courts are OK at Payoon do you need someone to knock about with? I haven't played in a year due to the move to Ban Chang and have put on a bit of weight but could manage 1 night a week at least.

Yes I'm certainly interested. I havn't played for about four years, but I normally pick it back up fairly quickly. I'm away at work for the next five weeks but when I get back i will PM you. I look forward to it.

Great, now I've got a target to stop drinking and do some walking in the evening when I get home from work.

I see someone mentioned badminton...

Are there any clubs in Rayong area? My knees are too dodgy for squash now after about 10 years off...

TIA,

I'll ask a mate who used to play and get back to you.

There are some decent courts in Rayong. It was totally disorganized, or at least I couldn't figure out the system of play if there was one. I forget the actual location other then it was between the main road and the beach. I think it was on PMY Soi. Head towards the signs for PMY I think. It was some sort of health center with running, keep fit and badminton. The people there were very friendly and accommodating but I only went the once.

[PattayaParent]

There's a school / sports centre on the right as you go down the PMY Soi. That's maybe where you mean?

Cheers all, I'm back now so I'll swing past tomorrow and take a look.

"anyone for tennis? - oh err, badminton!"
