I started playing badminton in Chiang Mai in July/August 2014 and that kickstarted a passion for playing the game and improving my skills on a regular basis and I’m still loving it now too. I did actually play for one semester back in high school but I’d all but forgotten everything I learnt there (which wasn’t much) so I was basically starting from scratch which I started again in 2014.

For the ten years previous, table tennis was my primary sport and its a game I still really enjoy but I was ready to move onto something new.

There’s several options to play in Chiang Mai but I’ve really enjoyed playing with a group of expats and thais who play Tuesday and Friday 2pm – 4pm. The cost is only 50 baht per session and the location is close to the old city. Get all of the details at the Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/631388276900921/
