annethai Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hello everybody! I'm looking for a tennis academy/school in Bangkok for my oldest daughter. We live more or less on Sukhumvit and so it d be great if I could let her do her tennis thing closeby. I'm looking for a tennis club (or sportsclub) where she learns how to play AND where she can make some friends as well. So private lessons are not necessary (although I should take some ) Anyone any suggestions please? Thank you! Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 There is a place next to SCAD (Soi Cat and Dog foundation) that looks nice. It is off of Phra Khanong (Khlong Tan) Tennis isn't my sport, but it is worth a look I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfr Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 There are courts many places but the "pros" there are very poor teachers They just hit the ball to you and make a suggestion or two. They sometimes do more harm than good, sad to say. Le Smash Club http://www.lesmashclub.com/index.lasso, is down Rama 3 [Asoke] at Soi 64. Seven beautiful courts and very good instructors. It is a bit expensive but not that much. Soi Klang Club http://www.rqclub.com/index.html# on Sukhumvit Soi 49 is also nice but does not have the quality of professional. Finding the teacher is the hard part. If you do then they can meet anywhere to learn and play I can highly recommend Timo [0846718478] who teaches at Sukhumvit Soi 38 Sunshine Courts. He has lots of students and has been around for a long time. Some Court location information is here http://bangkoktennis.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9241&Itemid=352 And if you are really serious about getting the best programs there is The Tennis Academy of Asia and National Tennis Center both located out near Don Muang airport about 30 minutes away. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevensdling Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 They ve got good courts at the British Club as well, but it s very expensive to become a member. Moreover, I do not know if they have a tennis academy for kids. I know for a fact that one of the coaches of the British Club coaches at the Le Smash Club as well (I am a member there), so you might as well give them a try as their courts are very good and they don't cost near as much as the British Club . And I'm sure Le Smash has a good tennis academy for kids. At least that is what my tennis friends there tell me! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
