Whether you’re searching for the best padel courts in Thailand, planning your next getaway or a local simply wanting to explore what Thailand padel has to offer, this guide has you covered.

Located in the quiet northern stretch of Koh Samui near Ban Tai beach, Bantai Padel is all about laid-back tropical charm. The green open-air courts sit among trees, giving the space a peaceful and natural atmosphere. While the courts are uncovered (so try to plan around the weather), the holiday vibe is unbeatable. The club offers on-site accommodation, partner fitness facilities, coaching, and social events, making this one of the best padel clubs in Koh Samui for casual players looking to unwind and improve their game.

The facility includes elegant accommodation options, a private chef, and dedicated concierge service, making it ideal for retreats, executive escapes or premium padel holidays. It’s a top pick for those wanting an all-in-one experience with every detail considered.

Kross Padel Bangkok

Kross has several locations across Bangkok. Their original, Kross Padel On Nut, features three courts (two covered) beside a pool, ice bath, and sauna. The best time to play is sunset, when the city skyline lights up the background. Community is key here, with regular social events and multiple coaches on offer. An on-site Italian restaurant completes the picture.

For a more boutique rooftop vibe, Kross’s recent Sky Club opening in Phrom Phong at Marriott Executive Apartments offers a more central location, featuring classy black courts and an unforgettable rooftop view. The perfect way to finish a game here is with a sangria from its bar, Jaleo.

Kross also feature a 3-court indoor venue a few miles away, and is scheduled to open a second Sky Club in Asoke at the end of 2025.

Padel Lodge, Koh Chang
