Coming soon • Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chiang Mai brings padel to the mountains - with temples, markets, and the best khao soi in the world.

Thailand's northern capital is cooler, quieter, and more culturally rich than the beach destinations. Padel is growing here too - and the combination of morning sessions, afternoon temple runs, and evenings at the night bazaar makes for a trip that doesn't feel like a typical sports holiday.

  • Cooler climate - mountain air and lower humidity make Chiang Mai comfortable for intensive training, especially November to February
  • Culture on every corner - 300+ temples, the Old City moat, Doi Suthep mountain, and a creative scene that attracts artists and makers from everywhere
  • Best value in Thailand - accommodation, food, and court time cost less here than anywhere else on the circuit. Your money goes further
  • Coffee and food scene - Chiang Mai is Thailand's specialty coffee capital. Pair that with northern Thai cuisine (khao soi, sai ua, nam prik) and you won't want to leave
