Tennis In Bkk

[AlaskaDave]

Hi,

I am a tennis junkie living in Alaska summers and in Thailand in the winters. Right now I'm living in Bangkok on Soi 4 Samsen Road (near Khaosan Rd area) but that will probably change when I move to Chiangmai later this year. At any rate what I looking for is a place or places to play tennis while I'm in Bangkok.

Are there public courts, or private clubs in Bangkok where a farang could keep up with his favorite pastime?

Thank you,

Dave in Alaska

Google a place called "the smash club"-run by/for hiso types_rama 3 area. There are other courts around - one on suk 71 for sure.

Thanks very much - Le Smash Club that looks like a good place to start. Using Google Earth I could not locate any tennis courts on Sukhumvit 71 however. Can you be more specific?

Thanks for the information. I was unable to locate these courts on Google Earth. Is Ramkamhaeng soi 13 near the airport?
