JetsetBkk Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I knew I should've kept my squash racket. But really, not sure if I could even get through the 'warming up the ball' stage as I'm at least 20 Kg heavier than when I played last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboH Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The Outrigger Laguna Beach Resort (former Laguna Beach Resort) has a squash court open to non guests for a fee. Raquet rental as well plus locker roon and shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCarrot Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Does anyone know what the Karon Hilton charges for a 6 month squash membership? Or what the Outrigger Laguna Beach facilities are like and what they charge for 1 month or 6 month memberships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what the Outrigger Laguna Beach facilities are like and what they charge for 1 month or 6 month memberships? Outrigger OK, 400thb per hour, nice facilities, couple of small issues re the court itself ie the SKIRTING board, maybe not as good as Hilton Karon but suffices ....

CrankyCarrot Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Damn it! Oh well, all things being equal, I guess the Hilton is probably the best bet. B350 an hour and nicer facilities and all. Where I was thinking of staying is about half way between the two venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrankyCarrot Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Outrigger rates, straight from the horse's mouth: 1 hour 400 per hour Weekly membership 1,500 baht Monthly membership 4,000 baht 3 Month membership 8,000 baht 6 month membership 15,000 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose then u can use pool/deckchairs when u want !.... 6 month might be worth it !... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
