# Introducing CourtRival

Tennis in Bangkok is booming. More people are picking up a racket, more courts are opening, and more tournaments are being organized across the city. But finding a game — a real, competitive game against someone at your level — is still harder than it should be.

That's why we built CourtRival.

## What CourtRival Does

CourtRival is a platform for tennis players in Bangkok and Southeast Asia. Here's what you can do:

**Find courts.** We list every court we know about — from covered hard courts in Watthana to outdoor facilities in Bang Kapi. Filter by indoor/outdoor, surface type, and district to find exactly what you need.

**Find opponents.** The core of CourtRival is matchmaking. Tell us your level, your preferred locations, and when you're free — we'll connect you with players who are a real match for you.

**Compete.** We surface local tournaments, leagues, and social tennis events so you never miss a chance to compete.

## Why Bangkok?

Bangkok has one of the most active tennis scenes in Southeast Asia, but it's fragmented. Players post in LINE groups, courts are listed on random Facebook pages, and finding someone to hit with means asking around through friends of friends.

We're building the infrastructure that the Bangkok tennis community deserves.

## What's Coming

CourtRival is in early access. Right now you can browse courts — over 15 facilities listed across Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan. Matchmaking and tournament registration are coming next.

CourtRival is launching in Bangkok — a platform to help tennis players find courts, discover opponents at their level, and compete in local tournaments.

# Indoor Tennis Courts in Bangkok — Where to Play When It Rains

Bangkok's weather is one of the biggest challenges for tennis players. The rainy season runs from May to October, afternoon thunderstorms can cut sessions short at any time of year, and the midday heat in summer makes outdoor play nearly impossible.

Covered and indoor courts are the answer — and Bangkok has more of them than you might think.

## Truly Indoor Courts (Air-Conditioned)

### The Racquet Club (RQ49) — Watthana, Sukhumvit
Seven air-conditioned indoor hard courts in the heart of Sukhumvit (Soi 49). The Racquet Club is Bangkok's best-known premium indoor facility. Expect higher rates but excellent surfaces and reliable booking.

### Noah bkk@26 — Watthana, Sukhumvit
Four outdoor courts plus two air-conditioned indoor courts at Sukhumvit Soi 26. Courts open until 11:30 PM. One of the most accessible indoor options in central Bangkok, with group lessons and open play.

### Alpine Tennis Club — Watthana
Six ITF-certified indoor courts with a US Open Surface standard. Full facilities and a growing community of regulars. Closed membership-style access — check for availability.

### Ace of Clubs — Sukhumvit
Five ITF-certified indoor state-of-the-art courts. Premium surfaces and a full-service clubhouse, suited for serious training and competitive play.

### Bearing 68 Tennis — Samrong, Samut Prakan
Four covered courts near BTS Bearing. International-standard surfaces with a range of coaches available. One of the easiest-to-reach options for players living in the south and east of the city.

### Spinning J International Tennis Academy — Bang Na
Two covered hard courts in the Lasal area. A private academy that also opens courts for rental — good option for players in the Bang Na corridor.

## Covered Hard Courts (Protected from Rain, Not Air-Conditioned)

### Beat Discovery Thailand — Bang Na
Six covered courts near Udom Suk BTS. Convenient, accessible, and well-lit for evening sessions.

### Cozy Tennis Court — Prawet
Four covered semi-indoor courts near Suan Luang Rama IX Park (Soi Phatthana 24). From ฿350/hr, with coaches on-site and night lighting. Closes 11 PM.

### Crystal Tennis Center — Lat Phrao
ITF-recognized surfaces with both covered and outdoor options. A standard choice for higher-level competitive play in Bangkok.

### FBT Pyramid Tennis Academy — Lat Krabang
A large facility with 14 courts — roughly half covered. One of the best options in the east of the city for both outdoor and covered play, with a strong tournament history.

## Tips for Playing in Bangkok's Heat and Rain

**Book early morning or evening.** Even on outdoor courts, 6–8am and after 5pm are manageable year-round. Midday in April is brutal regardless of surface.

**Check the forecast.** Bangkok rain is usually short and intense. A 30-minute delay is often all it takes for conditions to clear on outdoor courts.

**Use a covered court for serious training.** If you're training consistently or prepping for a tournament, booking a covered court removes the weather variable completely.

**Know your court's drainage.** Some outdoor courts in Bangkok drain slowly — a morning of heavy rain can leave them unplayable until mid-afternoon even after the rain stops.

# How to Find a Tennis Partner in Bangkok — Apps, Groups & Matchmaking

Finding a consistent tennis partner in Bangkok is harder than it should be. The city has hundreds of courts and thousands of players, but no central place to connect. Most people end up posting in Facebook groups and hoping for the best.

Here are the options — from the informal to the purpose-built.

---

## The Problem with Facebook Groups

Bangkok's largest tennis communities are on Facebook: **Bangkok Tennis Players** (5,000+ members) and **Bangkok Tennis Club** (5,100+ followers). The posts are a reliable signal of demand — players from France, the US, Japan, all looking for someone to hit with.

The problem: it's unstructured. You post, wait, respond to comments, coordinate over Messenger, and hope the person shows up. There's no skill-matching, no schedule, and no way to build a reliable roster of hitting partners.

---

## Meetup Groups

**Bangkok Tennis Gang** on Meetup runs regular sessions across the city. They use a LINE group chat to organize hits — "pretty much every day." Good for social play and meeting people in person. Less suited to competitive players looking for specific skill levels.

---

## Global Partner-Finding Platforms

**Global Tennis Network** lists 232+ tennis players in Bangkok with NTRP ratings. You can search by level and area. The platform is functional but not Bangkok-specific — the community is thin and response rates vary.

**TennisCall** and **tennis-tournaments.com** operate similarly — register, browse profiles, request a match. Useful if you're visiting Bangkok and need a partner quickly.

---

## Court-Based Matchmaking

Several venues run **open play sessions** where you show up, pay for court time, and get matched with whoever is there:

- **Noah bkk@26** (Sukhumvit Soi 26) — open sessions and group lessons, active community
- **The Racquet Club** (Sukhumvit Soi 49) — regular clinics and open hitting sessions
- **Simoorgh Tennis Academy** (Sukhumvit Soi 56) — well-regarded for structured group classes
- **Le Smash Club** (Chong Nonsi) — popular ladies classes and junior programs with adult open play

The advantage: you meet real players at your local court. The disadvantage: you're limited to whoever shows up that day.

---

## CourtRival — Dedicated Matchmaking for Bangkok Players

CourtRival is built specifically for this problem. Create a profile with your level and preferred courts, find players nearby who want to hit, and set up matches without the group-chat chaos.

Unlike Facebook groups, matches on CourtRival are skill-matched by default — so you're not setting up a game only to discover a massive level gap.

## Tips for Finding the Right Partner

**Be specific about your level.** NTRP or UTR rating, or a self-description ("consistent 3.5, can sustain rallies, working on net play") saves a lot of wasted sessions.

**Specify what you want.** Casual hitting, competitive match, doubles — these attract different players.

**Try your local court first.** Regulars at your nearest court are the most convenient long-term partners. Show up at the same time each week and you'll recognize the same faces quickly.

**Keep a shortlist.** When you find someone good to hit with, save their contact. Bangkok has enough players that building a list of 3–4 reliable partners is very achievable.
