sipi Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Can anyone tell me first hand of recent experiences of ice skating in Thailand, preferably with lessons for a youngster? I am looking at the Udon rink as a preference, followed by any other rinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeniau96 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Daughter (14 years old) of my friend here is enthusiast for ice skating. None in Phuket but she gets to BKK every two months or so and has a great time at Central World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipi Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I see the Bangkok one might be worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honu Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 We used to visit the rink at Central World, which is fine, but now regularly go to the one in Mega Bangna (Sub Zero). It's a little bigger and costs less. The ice isn't ideal in either place, for some reason not cooled enough in Central World, so water accumulates, and not evened up very well in Mega Bangna, a bit dinged up. For the most part that doesn't make a difference; if you can skate then you can, and if you can't perfect flat ice in an ideal texture won't help you. Both places seemed to have staffing to offer lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
