May 11, 201313 yr Hi All, Christmas and Sonkhran over, "summer season" ie rains coming, gotta lose some kilos, anyone on for some SQUASH ? Courts at Patong (still?), Kamala and Laguna (not sure if just for guests...) Cheers, Sleesy.
May 11, 201313 yr Where's the court in Patong...... where it was on the Third row is a poxy French Arab pizza joint now.
May 11, 201313 yr 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!
May 11, 201313 yr Author 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! I think we're ALL 20Kg heavier than we were when we used to play !
May 11, 201313 yr Author I'll play if you want to come down to Karon and play at the Hilton. I live Surin Beach, can't meet half way ie PaTong ?...
May 11, 201313 yr Author Yes still courts at Patong & I maybe keen but am not great! OK...weekdays when kids at school best for me ...!!!
May 13, 201313 yr will drive past again later, but was there a few day ago.......wasn't it? Sure looked like a pizza joint to me when I went past last evening. A closed one at that.
May 13, 201313 yr I'll play if you want to come down to Karon and play at the Hilton. I live Surin Beach, can't meet half way ie PaTong ?... Hilton is 5 minutes farther south and has A/C courts, a full changing room with showers etc.

May 29, 201313 yr 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.
June 30, 201313 yr 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?
July 3, 201313 yr Author 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? 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 ....
July 3, 201313 yr Author Thanks, Any idea about longer term membership (ie 1 month or more) fees? Nope !
July 4, 201313 yr 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.
July 4, 201313 yr Author dam_n 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. Just ring Outrigger and check ....
July 8, 201312 yr 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
July 10, 201312 yr Author 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 4,000thb per month, so squash twice (or 2.5times) a week almost covers it ... I suppose then u can use pool/deckchairs when u want !.... 6 month might be worth it !...
