Badminton In Chiang Mai

[BeeM]

Hi,

Are there any farangs who play badminton in the evenings or at the weekend? Does anyone know any badminton clubs in Chiang Mai that welcome farangs? I was playing with the group that play on Tuesday and Friday afternoons at the Municipal Stadium but I've just started working and am not free to play at those times anymore.

Any info would be appreciated! I'm also interested in getting some coaching if anybody knows anything about that.

Cheers,

Bee

A quick search showed that;

Chiangmai expats group play badminton every Tuesday and friday at the Chiangmai municipal stadium from 2pm to 4pm.The charges are 20baht per pax but they uses plastic birdies.You can buy good and better ones from the proshop. Bring your own gear.

I haven't joined in for over a year, but a friend still goes day and more than those listed above. They are always quiet welcoming at the municipal stadium courts. There is a pro shop there where coaching can be arranged.

That's Fishenough. That's where I was playing. I can only play in the evenings and weekends now though because I am working. If anyone knows of any other clubs that'd be great. Cheers.

i went to a really nice club a few months ago. I really couldn't tell you where it was though. We had the court for a couple hours, split between 3 people it cost around 90 baht

We're in the same same situation with the 2 to 4 group.

I would be interested in a evening game.

I started a thread on this a couple months back, and whilst the 2-4pm is etched on my brain, i have not had the time to get over there and check it out.

but count me in also, if an evening venue is available- maybe the university sports centre?

Check out CNX Badminton Centre, it's across from City Hall just as you're heading out of town towards Mae Rim. Nice modern setup. Not sure on fees and times but it's dedicated to Badminton.

I'll look into venues so and get back to you! The Municipal Stadium is great but not sure what the story is with booking courts.
