burnalot Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hey! After looking on Google Earth, I am seriously having my doubts. Does any one know of a proper running track in CM? By proper, I mean, correct, Olympic size, preferably with a rubberized surface. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I am only guessing but the 700 Year Stadium may have .The SEA games have been held there. I am not a runner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyecatcher Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Santitham stadium holds all the local sports events. Real tartan surface and lots and lots of young ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Municipal Stadium has a proper track. Not sure if that is what eyecatcher was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

movsrus Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Municipal Stadium has a proper track but it tends to be crowded in the afternoons and especially in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 You will find that the proper way forward here is often easier if you run backwards. ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmth Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 My vote is for 700 year stadium. Nice track and never busy. At least the times I've been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnalot Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 thanks to all who posted! I Found this track: 18.800698, 98.989432 (It's the one closest to the moat.) But like cmth says: My vote is for 700 year stadium. Nice track and never busy. At least the times I've been there. The track closest to the moat was RIDICULOUS yesterday at 5pm. I cannot imagine being a farang and running there...can you imagine all the uncomfortable stares!? Going to check out 700 Year today, as apparently it has an Olympic size swimming pool and a weight room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 ... snip ...The track closest to the moat was RIDICULOUS yesterday at 5pm. I cannot imagine being a farang and running there...can you imagine all the uncomfortable stares!? ... snip ... Yes, I can imagine all the stares, since my beauty attracts eyeballs like horse-flies, but stares don't make me feel anything unless anatomical details redacted. But, why would anyone stare at you, and why would you feel uncomfortable if they did ? You are not planning to seriously violate Thai cultural norms by doing something crazy like watching where you are going ... are you ? cheers, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Yes i don't think you will get any stares at the Municipal Track. Plenty of farangs use it. I have seen farang barefoot runners and they don't get any stares except from me. Some farangs play basketball and use the BMX skateboard stuff too. The first time i visited i was shocked by how busy it was at the end of the day. I assumed there was some kind of charity fun run taking place but there wasn't, it was just a normal day. Its due to the lack of city centre parks and recreation areas so what little there is is packed. Edited July 8, 2015 by CNXBKKMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
