The short answer
Nearly every pickleball court in Thailand takes bookings over Line, the country's dominant messaging app. You find a court, add the club on Line, send a short message with your date/time/number of players, and pay on arrival in cash. There is usually no website, no booking portal, and no need to speak Thai.
Step-by-step
Find a court
Browse the directory and pick a court that fits your area, budget, and preferred surface (indoor/outdoor). Open the listing to see the club's contact details — most include a Line ID.
Get the Line ID
Line (line.me) is Thailand's dominant messaging app and the default booking channel for pickleball. Download Line from the App Store or Google Play, create an account with your phone number, and add the club by its Line ID or QR code.
Send a booking message
Send a short message in English — Thai clubs handle English fine. A typical booking message looks like: "Hello, can I book 2 courts on Saturday at 9am for 2 hours? Name: John, 4 players." Clubs usually respond within a few hours.
Confirm payment method
Most Thai clubs accept cash on arrival. Some require a small deposit via bank transfer or PromptPay to hold the booking — they will send payment details over Line if needed.
Show up on time
Arrive 10 minutes early, show the confirmation message if asked, pay any outstanding court fee, and enjoy your game. Most clubs offer paddle rental (฿50–฿150) and free balls.
A sample booking message
Keep your Line message short and specific. Here is a template that works at any Thai pickleball club:
"Hello, I'd like to book a court for Saturday at 9:00am for 2 hours. 4 players, name John. Can you confirm and let me know the total price? Thank you."
Clubs usually reply within a few hours with a confirmation, the total price, and payment instructions if a deposit is required.
What it costs
Court fees in Thailand typically range from ฿100 per hour at local clubs to ฿800 per hour at luxury resort venues. Most fall in the ฿200–฿500 range. Paddle rental adds ฿50–฿150. Balls are almost always included in the court fee.
What if you don't want to book?
You don't have to. Open play sessions are drop-in — no booking, no partner, no reservation. Pay a flat fee (฿100–฿300) at the door and rotate through games with whoever shows up. See our open play guide for the full walkthrough.
