Padel And Pickleball In Phuket: 9 Places To Play (Rain Or Shine)
Covered Courts, Easy Bookings And Drop-In Games For Beginners
Updated: October 27, 2026
Love padel or pickleball? You don’t have to hang up your racket for the holidays. Phuket has the best padel and pickleball scene in southern Thailand, with clubs clustered around Cherngtalay (near Bang Tao and Laguna) in the north, Karon on the west coast, and Chalong and Rawai (near Nai Harn) in the south. Most padel clubs here take bookings on the Playtomic app, so you can find a free court, book and pay in a few taps, and even join an open match if you’re short a player. Pickleball clubs run drop-in open play, so you can just turn up and rotate into games.

Pickleball is the cheaper option. Open play costs about THB 150-250 per person at Shark Bites Pickleball and Pickleball Phuket Club, and court hire runs THB 500-600 an hour. Padel court hire in Phuket is typically around THB 400-600 an hour, depending on the club and time slot. Most venues rent rackets and paddles.
Can kids play padel or pickleball in Phuket?
Yes. WAREHAUS.club in Cherngtalay offers coaching for all ages and levels, and Pullman Phuket Karon Beach Resort runs pickleball lessons for kids aged 6-12 at THB 600++ an hour. Pickleball is usually the easier start for younger kids, with a smaller court and a lighter paddle. Book a lesson before joining open play.
What is the difference between padel and pickleball?
Padel is played in doubles inside a glass-walled court, with a solid racket and a low-pressure tennis ball, and the walls are part of play. Pickleball uses a smaller badminton-sized court, a paddle and a light plastic ball with holes. Both use an underhand serve, so beginners pick them up quickly.
Can you play padel in Phuket during the rainy season?
Yes. Phuket's rainy season runs roughly May to October, so book a covered court. Padel Phuket @ Blue Tree has four covered courts, Xplore Padel Phuket in Chalong has three fully covered courts, and PTP Club Phuket has six roofed or indoor courts. Outdoor courts can turn slippery after heavy rain.
How do you book a padel or pickleball court in Phuket?
Most Phuket padel clubs take bookings on the Playtomic app, including Destination Padel Club, PTP Club Phuket, Xplore Padel Phuket and Rawai Padel. Padel Phuket @ Blue Tree uses the MATCHi app. Pickleball clubs usually run drop-in open play, so you can turn up, pay per session and rotate into games.
