TODAY we’ll ALSO have our first social event of 2022 at the Zinc bar & restaurant on Sukhumvit 101/1 from 6pm to late after table tennis. If you can’t make the table tennis you can just join for the social from 6pm (ask to be added to the Line group for more info on who’s going and to add yourself to the event calender). We’ll be there until late so if you want to head home first for a shower you’re welcome to come join us later too)

Welcome to our Table tennis group. We are a friendly group who love Table Tennis. We usually play Saturday and Sundays afternoons and Wednesday evenings at our new location: Central Plaza Bangna which has the bonus of air conditioning and proper rubberised flooring material.
New members are always welcome and regular players are happy to play anyone including beginners and happy to offer tips and advice if you want to progress (we all started as beginners at some point right!)
Located on a level just above the top floor of Central (same floor as the cinema and Aqua Park. Look for the escalator with the Joola sign and table tennis bat pictures). There are 15+ table tennis tables for 100 Baht the whole day. Please pay the staff at the counter directly as our organizers receive no money from members.
We currently “self organize” our events by communicating on two Line groups. Ask event organizers to add you to the “LINE” groups.
We meet on Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm and Wednesday from 6.30pm. We usually tell each other if we’ll go using the Line app groups (which you can join too by asking one of our regular members or the organizers.)
If you plan to play regularly you can buy a cheap pre-made racket at most major shopping malls or get a custom made one at one of several shops in Bangkok. Rackets are available to buy or for rent for 20 Baht (OK quality) or 40 Baht(slightly better ones) at the counter where you pay to play.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Table Tennis group soon!
PS there are no showers or changing facilities although you can use the toilets downstairs to change before and after playing.
PPS If you come to BTS Bangna you can take white songthaew for 8 Baht when you leave from Exit 4 from the BTS.
PPPS They rent tables for 100 Baht an hour if two or more people just want to play for a short amount of time and there’s professional coaching available by the staff at 700 Baht an hour.
